Easter Sunday, Year C “If for this life only we have hoped in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied. But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep.” Twelve years ago we joined my parents for […]

Easter 2025 – Remember His Words

“In the face of death, I realized that it was not love that kept me clinging to life but unresolved anger. Love, real love flowing from me or toward me, sets me free to die. Death would not undo that love. To the contrary, death would deepen it and strengthen […]

Nouwen on Dying

This is an entry in the “Acrostic Contemplations.” See “Q is for ‘Quails’” Manna is a word that remains fairly well known in the English language and most people will even recognize an echo of the Exodus in its usage. The term is actually the Hebrew phrase meaning “What is it?” […]

Christmas – The Light

Reflections for my sermon on the Fourth Sunday of Advent, December 22, 2024. My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord, my spirit rejoices in God my Savior; for he has looked with favor on his lowly servant. Amen. The Gospels tell us surprisingly little about Mary. (And in point of […]
