Matthew 1:18-25 Reflection – Trust in the Lord

Matthew 1:18-25 Reflection – Trust in the Lord

By Jerry December 11, 2019 December 11, 2019

Reflection on Matthew 1:18-25 ~ Most of us would agree that Joseph’s reaction of dismissing Mary is justifiable. Imagine how powerful his mystical experience must have been to calm his doubts and fear to treat Jesus as both his and God’s son. Like Joseph, if you are a loving father …

Matthew 17:9a, 10-13 Reflection – Recognize Your Gifts

By Jerry December 7, 2019 December 7, 2019

Reflection on Matthew 17:9a, 10-13 ~ I know people that with a simple look can recognize someone from their distant past.  I cannot, but from personal and witnessed experiences, I know God often elevates other attributes. For example, without even knowing someone, I can sometimes sense their inner turmoil. This …

Matthew 11:28-30 Reflection – Make Our Burdens Light

By Jerry December 4, 2019 December 4, 2019

Reflection on Matthew 11:28-30 ~ It would not be appropriate to ask Jesus to carry the weight of all our problems. For instance, we cannot expect difficulties within our work environment to be miraculously resolved. Clearly, most could be taken care of by our own efforts. Instead, believe Jesus speaks …

Matthew 18:12-14 Reflection – Let Jesus Find You

Matthew 18:12-14 Reflection – Let Jesus Find You

By Jerry December 3, 2019 December 4, 2019

Matthew 18:12-14 Reflection ~ The parable of the lost sheep seems reversed in today’s reality, as ninety-nine seem lost to worldliness, not just the one. It is virtually impossible to not desire the same as the new reversed ninety-nine. For instance, our senses are being bombarded with how wonderful it …

Matthew 3:1-12 Reflection – The Voice Crying Out

By Jerry December 1, 2019 December 2, 2019

Reflection on Matthew 3:1-12 ~ Have you ever heard the voice crying out from the desert? It can be startling and beautiful at the same time. To respond as if it the only thing we have left to do is not easy because the depth of obligations that goes with …

Matthew 9:27-31 Reflection  – Fruit of our Being

Matthew 9:27-31 Reflection – Fruit of our Being

By Jerry November 29, 2019 November 29, 2019

Reflection on Matthew 9:27-31 ~ Like these blind men, Jesus has also participated in physical healing. While I share that Jesus is very much part of my life, I keep the details of the why, how and when to myself. My personal thoughts are that I must be like Jesus …

Matthew 7:21, 24-27 Reflection – Knowing God’s Will

Matthew 7:21, 24-27 Reflection – Knowing God’s Will

By Jerry November 28, 2019 November 28, 2019

Reflection on Matthew 7:21, 24-27 ~ Think back to when you first agreed to do God’s will. From an early age, I began considering the mystery of knowing God’s will. I remained lukewarm until a brush with death started a long conversation with God that moved me closer to Mary’s …

Matthew 15:29-37  — Satiates Spiritual Hunger

Matthew 15:29-37 — Satiates Spiritual Hunger

By Jerry November 27, 2019 November 27, 2019

Reflection on Matthew 15:29-37 ~ Imagine yourself near the Sea of Galilee, the lowest freshwater lake on Earth. You are at the base of the mountain where Jesus is elevated high enough for everyone to see. You watch the procession of those whose faith in Jesus heals them. You have …

Luke 10:21-24 Reflection – Reveal the Father

Luke 10:21-24 Reflection – Reveal the Father

By Jerry November 26, 2019 November 26, 2019

Reflection on Luke 10:21-24 ~ It is indeed possible with our senses to hear and see that the Father is visible, by witnessing the trail of Grace and goodness God leaves in the movement of time. To have Trinity revealed directly is also possible but this understanding is not ordinarily …

Matthew 8:5-11 Reflection – Become the Centurion

Matthew 8:5-11 Reflection – Become the Centurion

By Jerry November 25, 2019 November 25, 2019

Reflection on Matthew 8:5-11 ~ As a Roman Catholic in the U.S. you are familiar with the short prayer said just before communion: “Lord, I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof, but only say the word and my soul shall be healed.” When we become the …
