Eleventh Sunday in Ordinary Time

Alyssa

Pasternak Post

Let us draw close to the One who tells the truth at slant in parable form and who compels our participation in the unfolding of the divine story. Let’s do so with courage and gratitude, wherever we are in the mundane existence of our daily lives.

Tenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Alison M.

Benders

The Holy Spirit’s work cannot be reduced to comfort and consolation. Rather, the work of the Spirit is turbulent. The Turbulent Spirit upends our distorted priorities through the protests of the poor.

Body and Blood of Christ

Jeannine

Hill Fletcher

If we are going to venerate the blood of the tortured Christ, we must immerse ourselves in blood. We must see the violence that surrounds us, recognize our participation in its securities, refuse its dead works and commit ourselves to the preciousness of the blood that is life.

Today is Pentecost. Together we can gather in the sure and certain expectation of being permeated by the Spirit’s wind and fire that come from beyond our fears, divisions and wounds. This is truly amazing!

Sandra

Schneiders, IHM

John’s Easter narrative is not, first and foremost, about what happened in Palestine in the first century. It is about us, our personal and corporate experience of Jesus, risen and living within and among us today...
