Lord, take me where you want me to go, let me meet who you want me to meet, tell me what you want me to say, and keep me out of your way. -Prayer of Father Mychal Judge

SAINTS PETER AND PAUL
We stand today in the presence of two of the giants of our faith: the Apostles Peter and Paul. No one has had a more profound influence on the Christian faith and on the Church than these two men. Both are commemorated together on this day, June 29, because of the Church’s tradition that they both died as martyrs in Rome during the persecution under Nero in the year 64. Today we observe them…

Corpus Christi
‘Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you’ (Jn 6:53) These are familiar words to most of us. Yet it is rather wonderful that God – immortal, invisible, ineffable, infinite and incomprehensible God – is not only born, in Jesus Christ, into time and space, to share utterly in our humanity, but then leaves us with two instructions, ‘do this’, that…

THE MOST HOLY TRINITY C
We celebrate two of the most significant feasts in the Church’s year over the next week: Trinity Sunday; followed by Corpus Christi on Thursday. It is no mistake or coincidence that they follow on so closely from each other. On Trinity Sunday we celebrate the fact that God has revealed himself to us as a divine community of persons, one in substance, splendour, and purpose. The feast of the…

PENTECOST SUNDAY C
The giving of the Spirit to the new people of God crowns the acts of the Father in salvation history. The Jewish feast of Pentecost called all devout Jews to Jerusalem to celebrate their birth as God’s chosen people in the covenant Law given to Moses at Sinai. In today’s First Reading the mysteries prefigured in that feast are fulfilled in the pouring out of the Spirit on Mary and the Apostles…

SIXTH SUNDAY OF EASTER C
We are still in the Easter season but John’s gospel takes us back before the Easter event as we hear another part of the farewell spoken by Jesus before his death. We listen as Jesus teaches the disciples about what will happen after he leaves them. God will send an advocate, the Holy Spirit, who will do two things: teach and remind. Jesus seeks to give his disciples hope in the face of what…

FIFTH SUNDAY OF EASTER C
In today’s gospel, Jesus announces his impending death to his disciples and offers comfort and instructions for how they should behave when he is gone. John the Evangelist takes pains throughout his gospel to distinguish the Jewish followers of Jesus from “the Jews,” those who have not accepted Jesus as the Son of God and path to salvation. “You will look for me,” Jesus says to the disciples,…

FOURTH SUNDAY OF EASTER C
When Jesus said that he was the Good Shepherd who would willingly lay down his life for the sheep, those against him said that he sounded like someone with a demon. Now they’re asking him to speak plainly about whether he’s the Messiah, whether he’s God’s chosen one who will set them free. He reminds them that he’s done that and they weren’t ready to hear it. The Good News that Jesus brings — as…

THIRD SUNDAY OF EASTER C
John’s Gospel ends with four appearances that the resurrected Jesus makes to different groups of disciples: four scenes of Christ revealed alive, four assurances that death could never contain the life that Jesus lived and lives. These appearances take place in Jerusalem, in the days just after Jesus’ execution. The terror of the preceding week has dissipated, but Jesus’ disciples are still…

SECOND SUNDAY OF EASTER C
“ Jesus came and stood among them.” Anywhere else in the Gospel story and this would not be a strange statement. Yet this time was different. This time, the presence of Jesus in the midst of his disciples was not only unexpected, but it was seemingly impossible. It might be difficult for us to imagine ourselves in the place of the disciples. How many of us have risked our lives for something…

Easter Sunday
Darkness still hides the coming dawn as Mary Magdalene ventures out to Jesus’ tomb. What she sees shakes this fearless follower of Jesus to her marrow. She discovers that the massive stone set in place to seal his tomb has been removed. Mary has no thoughts of resurrection. An empty tomb is frightening when you don’t know what happened to the body of the deceased. Mary Magdalene was so…

Holy Saturday Morning
On that first Saturday, those who are keeping vigil after the most terrible loss imaginable do not have a strong belief in resurrection. After Jesus was taken down from the cross and furtively wrapped in borrowed linen and placed in Joseph’s unused tomb, those who had loved him were left without hope. The men who had lived with him during his public ministry, frightened and cowed, went into…

GOOD FRIDAY
Today, on Good Friday, we are asked not to look ahead to Sunday, but to sit here, at the foot of the cross. At the entrance to a grave. Today, we have to do what we do throughout life when beloved people die; we are asked to walk away in sadness. Let’s not skip ahead. Good Friday has something to teach us. The disciples did not know that Sunday would bring relief. The disciples did not know…

EVENING MASS OF THE LORD’S SUPPER
“Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.” Jesus’ time is running short, and the Gospel passage from John tells the story of his last night with them before he dies. It’s interesting to see how the Son of God chooses to spend his last hours before his death with those that he loves. What does he do? He shares a meal with them, he gives them some last instructions,…

Wenesday in Holy Week
The gospels do not provide us with a clear explanation for Judas’ act in “handing over” Jesus to the authorities. And most of the answers we try to extrapolate from the evangelist’s words say a good deal more about us and our need to distance ourselves from the possibility of acting as Judas did. Closely aligned with the attempt to distance ourselves from any possibility of cooperating with…

Tuesday of Holy Week
This is the Third day of Holy Week. The texts present the betrayal which rendered it possible for the authority to arrest Jesus and contributed enormously to the suffering of Jesus. We read the Second Song of the Servant of the Lord. The prophet again speaks in words that apply very suitably to Jesus. Jesus has been called from all eternity to do this work of salvation, After having washed…

Monday of Holy Week
Monday in Holy Week offers a pause, a chance to recollect from the drama of yesterday before plunging into the sacred events to come. Today’s reading from Isaiah reminds us that we are all called to emulate this ministry. It is a struggle though; that is why Jesus’ actions were startling to the Romans and why we still find them challenging today. This prophetic call to liberate the sick, the…

PALM SUNDAY
Palm Sunday is designed to reflect the dramatic mood swing that accompanies the events of that day when Jesus was triumphantly welcomed into Jerusalem, only to face his rejection and crucifixion a few days later. We are here now to make our answer to the invitation of Palm Sunday. Jesus is hailed by the crowds today, And then we have a choice. Many of us will go home and not darken the door of…
