24 July 2022 - Seventh Sunday After Pentecost - Prayer is more than simply talking to God. Prayer in Hebrew is a reflexive verb meaning that prayer has a very real effect on us. It is a dialogue with the divine in which God speaks to us as much as we speak to Him.

10 July 2022 - Fifth Sunday after Pentecost - We are in a wonderful time in our cycle of readings, walking with Jesus to Jerusalem. I want to remind folks that Jesus’ teaching in Luke 10 is not just some ideal but was connected to the culture. In a day with no Internet, no podcasts, no YouTube, any itinerant teacher was “tested" with questions. It was not necessarily malicious. We must be grateful to that lawyer who asked, “Who is my neighbor?” Jesus’ answer is as pertinent today as it was 2,000 years ago.

Readings: Deuteronomy 30:9-14; Psalm 25:1-9; Luke 10:25-37

3 July 2022 - 4th Sunday after Pentecost - In our Gospel passage today, Jesus was aware that the national situation was desperate and people were growing frustrated and fearful, some even panicking and turning to extremism as they looked for the answer. In this context, Jesus sent out the 70 with urgent instructions to heal the sick and proclaim the Kingdom of God, and not to become diverted along the way. This passage surely speaks to us today. It is a powerful reminder that in our frustrations with our societies and churches, we cannot be tempted to look for instant, non-biblical solutions. The work of a disciple must rest upon Jesus’ assurance that God’s kingship will continue to expand despite political and cultural obstacles. Thus, Rev. David Pileggi tells us, our response must be urgent and Kingdom-centered but never one of despair or panic.

Readings: 2 Kings 5:1-14; Acts 12:19b-24; Luke 10:1-11, 16-20
