How Empathy Is Born - 30th Sunday 2026

(73) 13th Sunday in Ordinary TimeWhen have I been rewarded for doing the right thing, when I didn’t expect a reward?What is the rock and hard place that I’m in (or have been in?) In the Bible there are seven stories of barren women: three of the four matriarchs, Sarah (Genesis 11:30), Rebekah (25:21), and Rachel (29:31); Hannah, mother of the prophet Samuel (1 Samuel 1-2); the anonymous wife of Manoah, mother of Samson (Judges 13); and the “great woman of Shunem,” also called the Shunammite, an acolyte of the prophet Elisha and Elizabeth.  In the Bible, barrenness refers to the physical inability to conceive, but spiritually, it symbolizes a woman who experiences waiting, disgrace, and unrequited longing. To be a barren woman is to be forced to wait for a deliverance that only the Lord can provide. It is a powerful metaphor.   Ilia Delio, her book about Jung-- <a href="https://maryknollsociety.org/the-not-yet-god-the-not-yet-god-carl-jung-teilhard-de-chardin-and-the-relational-whole-ilia-delio/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">The Not Yet God, Carl Jung, Teilhard de Chardin and the Relational Whole</a> More about <a href="https://deathcafe.com/deathcafe/22935/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Death cafes</a> More about <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marie-Louise_von_Franz" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Marie Louise Von Franz</a>  <a href="https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/062826.cfm" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Sunday Readings</a> Thank you for listening!

Unexpected Rewards in my Life - 13th Sunday

An Easter episode full of sound-booth surprises. Our question: How do I experience resurrection in my life? Marci references a<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGQmdoK_ZfY" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"> ⁠famous video regarding perception. ⁠</a> We appreciate this quote from Thomas Merton, spoken at another difficult time in history. “We are living in a world that is absolutely transparent and the divine is shining through it all the time.” <a href="https://prayables.com/story-good-luck-bad-luck-082822/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">We discuss an old Chinese story: "Good Luck Bad Luck." ⁠</a> Marci discovers a powerful metaphor regarding our lack of "object permanence" with God.
