An encounter with God is an experience that transcends our perceptions and our expectations. God is radically free, and He calls us to His will. We do not call Him to ours. Simon could not anticipate or expect a call from God. Yet, he received a call to reach beyond himself and follow the Lord. We, too, receive the same call.

How have you encountered God? How has that experience changed your life? ... See MoreSee Less

The month of February is traditionally dedicated to the Passion of Our Lord in anticipation of the liturgical season of Lent. In this month, we begin to meditate on the mystery of Jesus' sufferings which culminated in His death on the Cross for the redemption of mankind. Saints who had a special devotion to Christ's passion include St. Francis of Assisi, who was the first known saint to receive the stigmata, St. John of the Cross, St. Bridget of Sweden, and St. Catherine of Siena. ...

Simeon proclaimed what God had done "in the sight of the nations." In other words, a Spirit-filled lay man saw what God had revealed in His Temple to the faithful from all over the known world. The Messiah was here!

In this sense of the Presentation of Jesus, worship becomes evangelization. Likewise, our offering to the Lord invites others to worship, and, like Simeon, to proclaim Jesus as the "light to the nations."

Reflect on your worship. What specific gifts can you bring to God's altar this week? ... See MoreSee Less

Saturday Silly

A teacher asked her Sunday School class to draw pictures of their favorite Bible stories.
She was puzzled by a boy’s picture which showed four people on an aircraft, so she asked him which story it was meant to represent. "The flight to Egypt," he replied.
"I see, and that must be Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus," she said. "But who’s the fourth person?"
"Oh, that’s Pontius – the Pilot!" ... See MoreSee Less

The Spirit compelled Jesus to proclaim the Kingdom. But, when the Spirit began to blow, it did not cease. It breathed through the community, right onto the pages of Luke. And it continues to breathe among us, in our worship, in our studies, in our faith sharing, and in our service to the poor, the blind, and the oppressed. It compels us to proclaim, as Jesus did, a year of the Lord's favor. Where does the Spirit blow in your life? ... See MoreSee Less
