Sixth Sunday of Easter. Ecumenical councils: Jerusalem vs Vatican II. Reacting to reaction. Marketing vs Protecting. A lot of versus... Happy Mother's Day!

Fifth Sunday of Easter. Making a new church since the old one isn't working out so well. Various cults, and gambling. The other side of the coin: love one another.

Fourth Sunday of Easter. This week Paul encounters authority and deals with it. Stability versus innovation: safeguarding the deposit of faith versus the influx of the Holy Spirit. Re-revealing the truth in a new context.

Third Sunday of Easter. Peter encounters authority, redefines it, and deals with the consequences of his actions. Perseverance in the face of adversity (with a little help). Fighting/quitting/making/being the church.

Second Sunday of Easter. Faith versus verification. Why does life ask me to make the leap of faith? Jesus makes the rounds, but not on the news. Making a bet that might win.

Easter Sunday. Personal revelation and evangelization versus the extravagansa. Resurrecting life after your weekly deaths. Suffering and death seem to be part of the equation.

Passion Sunday. The worst show we've ever done. There might be something here to listen to, but I wouldn't count on it...

Fifth Sunday in Lent, God working in odd ways (imagine that), Mercy versus Justice: the adulterous woman, maybe not so rule-based, The All Night Bakery.

Fourth Sunday in Lent, The Prodigal Son, Rainer makes up Jewish stuff, What should I be doing? And how do I know? Meaningless analogies (even foosball). Filling up the time with noise.

Third Sunday in Lent, Cycle C?, Wandering in the desert, Living water as opposed to being stagnant.
