Reflections

The blind man in today's gospel can serve as model and guide for us about the need for persistence and effort in the spiritual life.

Today's scriptures offer us a tall order in terms of the faith journey. Each of us is called to reflect on what this might look life in our own lives.

Paul urges us to develop a 'unity of heart and mind' that enable us to create a common good where all can grow and thrive.

Fr. Gustavo Gutierrez helped to articluate a modern goapel call to enact social and economic justice for the poor in our world.

Jesus warns his followers about greed and suggests that those who are rich in "what matters to God" have found God's kin-dom.

Paul tells the Galatians to remember their heritage of freedom. This is a profound message for everyone on this national holiday.

The events of October 7 last year invite us to more deeply consider what a "Christian" response might look like.

We may not always come to know "why" certain suffering comes our way, but we can hope that a wider community helps us bear it.

The scriptures call us to action in the moment and to not put off for tomorrow what we can and should do for others today.

In the passage from Luke where Jesus heals the centurion's slave, we see Jesus resist othering and instead move towards connection.

Following Jesus requires a willingness to free ourselves from conventional programming so we can be open to new life.

In Luke 4, Jesus begins his public ministry by quoting from Isaiah 61. Our faith asks how aligned we might be with this same mission.
