Living the Faith - Fr. Timothy Furlow

Jesus reaches out and touches the man with leprosy.

What does this encounter mean?

Why do we reflect on it just before Lent?

This week Fr Timothy encourages us to bring our deepest shame to the Sacrament of Reconciliation, to Jesus who is just sitting there waiting to heal us of it.

The most important word in the bible is.....?

Nevertheless.

Jesus surrenders to the Father. Let's do the same.

Let's talk about time. Seeing that it is the time of fulfillment and the Kingdom of God is at hand, why do we feel constantly tempted to think that it's up to us to figure our own lives out? Don't fall for that temptation. Instead, surrender your life to Jesus. You have no guarantee that there will be time to do it later.

Today Fr. Timothy talks to us about the composite nature of our being: we are both soul and body. Moreover, we are each sacred temples of the holy spirit. That means we are not made for sexual immorality. In a world saturated with spiritual immorality, it is so very important to keep sacred our personal temples of the holy spirit...need help?

On the Epiphany we celebrate the day the “three wise men” came to visit baby Jesus.

They brought him gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

What is the significance of each of these gifts?

What can we learn from what these men did when they saw Jesus?
