  • A Tranquil Soul

    The tranquil soul is one free of the anxieties described by St. Paul and the unclean spirits described in the Gospel. But this tranquility of soul is not a cheap quality; it must be earned through daily disciplines of prayer, fasting, and repentance.

  • Trust in Following God

    Sometimes it’s easy to want to know what will happen next. It helps us feel in control. The readings this weekend invite us to a different path, however, one where we are invited to say “yes” to the One who loves us, even if we don’t know all the answers.

Accepting Our Mission from GodIn today’s first reading, we find the story of Jonah, a narrative about the acceptance (or rejection) of God’s mission. We are all called to difficult things, and so most of us sinners, most of the time, do everything we can to avoid our mission. In Jonah’s case, it was physical flight, but for many of us it’s choosing to ignore what God has said, a giving in to every other voice, taking the path of least resistance, making excuses,…Bishop Robert Barron’s SermonsJan 19 2021

Third Sunday in Ordinary TimeThere are two very interesting words used in today’s Gospel reading: ‘time’ and ‘repent’ I think it would be interesting if we took a bit of a look at them. In Greek these two words are kairos and metanoia. Kairos –time; and metanoia –conversion. Jesus said, ‘The time has come.’ For us there is only one word for time, but in Greek there are two words kairos and chronos. Chronos means the passage of time [...]Father Alex McAllister SDS  Catholic Homilies - BlogJan 20 2021
