Twenty-seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time: Are you a servant formed by faith? - The Dialog (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Scripture readings for Sunday. Oct. 4,2026, Twenty-seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time Is 5:1-7 Ps 80:9, 12, 13-14, 15-16, 19-20 Phil 4:6-9 Mt 21:33-43 Most people probably picture in their minds St. Francis with birds, preaching to them. Giotto’s fresco is beautiful, rightly famous, and it captures something true about the saint’s love for God’s creatures, for he did indeed call all animals “brothers.” And little creatures St. Francis loved most of all. Yet I also picture St. Francis another way. I
Twenty-fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time: See everything from God's perspective in terms of grace and graciousness - The Dialog (opens the original)

Scripture readings for Sept. 20, 2026, Twenty-fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time Is 55:6-9 Ps 145:2-3, 8-9, 17-18 Phil 1:20c-24, 27a Mt 20:1-16a Dorothy Day thought that this parable from Matthew’s Gospel, which we hear this Sunday, justified a Catholic’s support for the idea of a living wage. She wrote, “He spoke of the living wage, not equal pay for equal work, in the parable of those who came at the first and the eleventh hour.” Now aside from this specific suggestive interpretation, her general p
Twenty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time: Christians should be so truthful that they are willing to speak truth to one another, even difficult truth - The Dialog (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Scripture readings for Sept. 6, 2026, Twenty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time Ez 33:7-9 Ps 95:1-2, 6-7, 8-9 Rom 13:8-10 Mt 18:15-20 Václav Havel gave a speech at the Vatican in 1999. Somewhat controversially he quoted John Hus, the Czech Reformer who was burnt at the stake in 1415. St. John Paul II, also in 1999, called it a “cruel death” and expressed the Church’s “deep sorrow” for Hus’s execution. That too was controversial to some. But that’s an aside; what is important is what Havel said, what
Seventeenth Sunday in Ordinary Time: We should be open to radically changing our lives for the sake of the kingdom - The Dialog (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Scripture readings for July 26, 2026, Seventeenth Sunday in Ordinary Time 1 Kgs 3:5, 7-12 Ps 119:57, 72, 76-77, 127-128, 129-130 Rom 8:28-30 Mt 13:44-52 I recall something St. Faustina wrote once in her diary, a secret she knew. It’s something I think I know; at least it’s something I sense and struggle to seek. It’s probably something you seek too, struggling just like I do. If you’re a Christian, I’m sure you do. “Hidden Jesus, in You lies all my strength,” she wrote. Simple words but powerful
Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time: It's beautiful to think about how we're all in this together - The Dialog (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Scripture readings for July 12, 2026, Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time Is 55:10-11 Ps 65:10, 11, 12-13, 14 Rom 8:18-23 Mt 13:1-23 OR Mt 13:1-9 The imagery is simple. The word of God is like water, like a seed. Such is the image given in this Sunday’s first reading from Isaiah. It’s beautiful, earthy, organic and it’s easy to understand. Water and seed are productive, and together they bear fruit. The word of the Lord is like that; “so shall my word be,” the prophet says (Is 55:11). He’s dreamin
