Catholic Cardinal Reflections

April 1, 2012 - A dramatic reading of the Passion of the Lord Jesus according to the Gospel of Mark.

March 18, 2012 - The man born blind was recreated as Adam was created in the Genesis account. The man saw this and believed. In fact, he sees better than those who were born able to see. What are we blind to? Are we so entrenched in what we think as true that we cannot see the unknowable God in a different way?

March 11, 2012 - Is God in our midst or not? ask the Israelites. The Woman at the well asked that same question too...but got a different result.

March 4, 2012 - Today's are dramatic yet terrible readings. Religion, in fact, would be much safer if we can form God as we would like. But we need God, not a kitchen waiter.

February 25, 2012 - You are beloved. Lent is a blessed time in which are are invited to fall in love with God once again. Are you willing to fall in love with God and His Church?

February 22, 2012 - Let us not rush on towards Easter, but rather, let us contemplate the lessons of Lent.

February 19, 2012 - We have been reading a lot of healing stories? Are these myths and fairytales...or did they really happen?

February 12, 2012 - This weekend, we are having the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick offered at our Masses; Fr Nathan challenges us to allow Jesus to heal all of our infirmities.

February 5, 2012 - Job, a suffering man, is an example of a man who had God and money. Brother Emmanuel looks back at his undergraduate life, and the many care-isms he found. Each person, by the power of baptism, has care-isms. We really want to bring Christ to those in need - his loving and his presence. The application of our care-isms and Christ's healing will make our jobs so much more powerful and enjoyable.

Preach Jesus, not about Jesus.

January 29, 2012 - A prophet has arisen in our midst! A prophet is not a person that predicts the future, but rather, a person that enfleshes the word of God in today's time place. How are we prophets of our God?
