By Jerry October 20, 2019 October 20, 2019

Reflection on Luke 18:9-14 ~ I look forward to the sacred times when I confess my major sins to a Priest and receive forgiveness from God. I personally find it a more difficult to confess more minor sins in my private space of prayer. I must directly ask God to …

By Jerry September 22, 2019 September 28, 2019

Reflection on Luke 16:19-31 ~ Woven within Jesus’s story of the Rich Man and Lazarus  are belief, repentance and helping those less fortunate before being asked. Jesus is also reminding us that we too get the opportunity to be carried away by angels to be with Abraham. We preview the …

Reflection on Matthew 9:14-15 ~ Attempting to live the Christian life is filled with inconsistencies.  Sometimes we must embrace what we already know and behave within whatever constraints, customs and traditions that may exist.   Other times we are in unexplored territory where everything is new and we must be prepared …

By Jerry June 13, 2019 October 24, 2019

Reflection on Matthew 6:7-15 ~ Years ago, Fr. Joe enlightened me with a discussion of “on earth as it is in heaven.” I suggested that there was not a hard line between heaven and earth and to my surprise he agreed. He said that the Father through Christ has made …

By Jerry June 12, 2019 October 24, 2019

Matthew 6:1-6, 16-18 Reflection ~ What Jesus speaks of reminds me of a haunting verse from the song “Grace”; “Grace makes beauty out of ugly things. Among other things, private prayer and fasting exposes the interior unknowns of the ugly things of our heart and mind to consider. Our Father’s …

By Jerry June 6, 2019 October 24, 2019

Reflection on Matthew 5:20-26 ~ How people behave is often shaped by their circumstance. I try to keep this in mind as I learn to minimize my reaction to an offense. In all honesty, I still have interior frustration even if I limit my outward response. In truth, it is …

By Jerry June 5, 2019 September 28, 2019

Reflection on Matthew 5:17-19 ~ The law that God has breathed into Scripture must be carefully interpreted to not include what man creates outside of the Spirits inspiration. Jesus helps us with the critical thoughts of the law throughout the Gospels, which can be summarized in just a few words; …

By Jerry April 27, 2019 September 28, 2019

Reflection on John 6:16-21 ~ Sudden strong winds often form on the Sea of Galilee, which is likely what happened with the disciples. The miracle of Jesus calming their fears can happen when we face our own difficult situations. I personally know the calming effect of prayer that includes the …
