In Mark 10:46-52, we have the story of the blind man asking Jesus to make him see. In this story, unlike some of the other healings, Jesus doesn’t do anything. Nothing. Instead he tells the man his own faith has saved him – and the man [...]
The gospel reading for yesterday was Mark 10:35-45, and in 10:43b-44, Jesus tells us that the great are those who serve. We are all called to serve God and others. Some are called to serve as ordained clergy and others as laity, yet ALL are called [...]
We may not often think about this, however, we are all called to ministry, be it official or unofficial. After reading the Gospel for today, Mark 10:17-30, we might want to ask ourselves: What must we sacrifice to answer God’s call to serve: money, time, possessions? [...]

If you go to church today, whether in person or on-line, you may hear the reading from Psalm 116. Listen closely to the first two verses. The psalmist tells the Lord he loves the Lord BECAUSE the Lord hears him. Aren't we to love God just [...]
In James 2:1-5 we receive the admonition to treat everyone the same. We know this, and we try to do so. And yet, so often human judgment takes over. Perhaps our task is to recognize when this is suddenly happening, to take a deep breath, and [...]
