    SUNDAY SCRIPTURES FOR SEPT. 20 | Are we envious because God is generous? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    We all rely on God’s generosity, which isn’t based on the good or bad choices that we make, but on His unconditional choice to love us no matter what. We want God to be generous to us when we have sinned and want to be forgiven. We all want God to be generous to us when we are sick and want to be healed. We want God to be generous and not measure that generosity against our actions when we use His gifts. We want God to be generous over and over and over again because we know we are stuck in diff

    SUNDAY SCRIPTURES FOR SEPT. 13 | We can change our habits of unforgiveness by looking at our relationship with God (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    The two great commandments tell us to love God with all our mind, soul, heart and strength, and to love our neighbor as ourselves. When Jesus is asked who our neighbor is, He tells us the story of the Good Samaritan. The Scripture readings for the 24th Sunday in Ordinary Time give us a chance to remind ourselves how we as Christians can live in the world in a prophetic way and fulfill the commandments that Jesus has asked us to live. Our ability to love God and our neighbor is linked to our own

    SUNDAY SCRIPTURES FOR SEPT. 6 | Our hearts should be receptive to what God is trying to tell us (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    “If today you hear His voice, harden not your hearts.” This quote from the Old Testament that we hear on the 23rd Sunday in Ordinary Time reminds us that our heart should be receptive to what God is trying to tell us. As we sit in our own rooms meditating on the Scriptures or as we gather with others for reflection, are we able to hear the word of God and do what it tells us? Some people use the Scripture readings for the weekend as prompts for prayer groups or support groups. But do we actually

    SUNDAY SCRIPTURES FOR AUG. 23 | We each hold the key to unlocking hope and understanding for others (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Several of the readings for the 21st Sunday in Ordinary Time mention that a key is a symbol of authority and power. The symbol of a key is somewhat lost with the large variety of keypads and electric locks that we have today, but we can still carry the image in our minds. Jesus speaks of handing Peter the key to the kingdom of God and designates him as the rock. In the Old Testament, God removes the key from one person who has misused his authority and hands it over to someone else to carry on t

    SUNDAY SCRIPTURES FOR AUG. 16 | Jesus shows us how to treat each other as brothers and sisters (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The woman in the Gospel passage for the 20th Sunday in Ordinary Time is meant to be our teacher and guide in the walk of faith. If you’re wondering what it means to be a disciple of Jesus, this woman gives an incredibly important lesson in following him. In our walk of faith, we have experienced both hospitality and welcome, and also suspicion and rejection. Many of us have been called names or, even more painfully, have watched people in our lives walk away from a faith that is so dear to us. W
