    Change, grace and our final answer (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    In a world where we often spend so much time making poor choices and stubbornly misguided decisions, God is patiently asking, "Really? Is that your final answer?" Ez 18:25-28 Ps 25:4-5, 6-7, 8-9 Phil 2:1-11 or Phil 2:1-5 Mt 21:28-32 "Is that your final answer?" Spend enough time watching daytime TV -- as I did recently while recovering from surgery -- and you realize that on most game shows they almost always give you one more chance. You don't have to lock in your answer right away. There's tim

    The challenging call to forgiveness (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    . . . : this Gospel tells us we shouldn't engage in division or subtraction; work, instead, on multiplication. Not seven but 70 times seven. Sir 27:30--28:7 Ps 103:1-2, 3-4, 9-10, 11-12 Rom 14:7-9 Mt 18:21-35 How much is enough? This Sunday's Gospel begins with Peter asking that question, but with a very specific idea in mind. How much do I have to forgive my brother? How many times? Seven? That should be enough, right? Right? But what followed probably wasn't what Peter expected. "Jesus answere

    Peter's path amid stumbling blocks (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    After revealing himself to be exactly who Peter said he was, Jesus went on to explain what was to come -- persecution, suffering, death and resurrection. That was a shock Peter couldn't bear. Jer 20:7-9 Ps 63:2, 3-4, 5-6, 8-9 Rom 12:1-2 Mt 16:21-27 Honestly, you can't help but think: This was not on Peter's bingo card. There he was, the appointed leader of the apostles, trying to show his devotion and loyalty to Jesus, his willingness to defend him and protect him. And what did he get in return?

    The Canaanite woman and welcoming foreigners (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone

    Read excerpt

    This Sunday, one thing becomes clear: God really doesn't check passports or papers. Is 56:1, 6-7 Ps 67:2-3, 5, 6, 8 Rom 11:13-15, 29-32 Mt 15:21-28 This Sunday, one thing becomes clear: God really doesn't check passports or papers. That is one of the messages of this Sunday's scripture, and it couldn't be more timely or provocative. In our polarized world -- a world divided by nationalities and religions, raging at each other with drones and missile strikes, seeking to expel foreigners and build

    Scripture Reflection for Aug. 2, 2026, 18th Sunday in Ordinary Time (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    This is a miracle born of compassion -- and more than a few commentators have suggested that Christ was, in fact, showing us his own way of living and loving. Is 55:1-3 Rom 8:35, 37-39 Mt 14:13-21 This familiar passage from Matthew about the multiplication of the loaves and fishes gives us a lot to chew on (so to speak) but it's about more than grabbing a bite to eat on a hot afternoon in Galilee. Look closely. It comes right there at the end: "They all ate and were satisfied." Nobody was left w
