Become Dazzling

Posted on August 6, 2015 by sstyves

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

Posted on August 5, 2015 by sstyves

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 →

Not Thanks-Getting

Posted on August 1, 2015 by sstyves

Breaking Commandments

Posted on July 27, 2015 by sstyves

More Than Enough

Posted on July 26, 2015 by sstyves

In the world in which I live, I hear many people insinuate there is not enough–time, money, energy, kindness, love, and so much more. The readings today illustrate that was never God’s plan. In 2 Kings 4, Elisha tells his … Continue reading →

Jesus, Friend of Women

Posted on July 22, 2015 by sstyves

Keep Still

Posted on July 20, 2015 by sstyves

No signs will be given today from Jesus. Nope, not one. Sit in the belly of the whale like Jonah and wait. Jesus was three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. This passage from Matthew 12 … Continue reading →
