Angel Touches
My friends know how much I love angels. Today’s first reading from 1 Kings 19 tells of Elijah’s journey into the wilderness where he plunks himself down under a broom tree and has a pity party. Gosh, can I relate! … Continue reading

Become Dazzling
The Transfiguration is one of my favourite readings. I think it is no accident that it is also the anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The world was transfigured by a decision that wreaked havoc. I cannot believe … Continue reading

Great Faith
The Canaanite woman from today’s Gospel is a role model for all of us. She takes the path less traveled when she comes to Jesus, challenging him. Jesus excludes her by saying he has come for the lost sheep of … Continue reading

Let Them Leave
Yesterday I attended a worship service where the pastor was preaching on one of my favourite books in the bible–Ruth. He said Naomi had two daughter-in-laws, Ruth and Orpah. She begged them both to return to their family as she … Continue reading

Jesus, Friend of Women
Mary Magdelene’s Feast Day brings back memories of a friend’s wedding when I was asked to give a toast to the bride. I am sure people thought it was odd that I would liken her to a woman many think … Continue reading
