Coming to Ourselves
The Prodigal Son in today’s readings comes to himself in the middle of a dirty pig bath. We all sit in the mire of our lives sometimes. Not all of us comprehend what is going on. Many of us never … Continue reading

Be Merciful!
We spin all sorts of webs. The Readings today offer a look at how we as humans think so completely differently than God. Hosea 5 has the people of Ephraim and Judah acknowledging their guilt and wanting to return to … Continue reading

Half-Hearted Creatures
C.S. Lewis writes, It would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child … Continue reading

Daring Adventure
I was out with friends tonight and at the end of it, one of them tossed me a fortune cookie. We laughed when I read it out loud. I’m trying to make some decisions about traveling. I would like to meet … Continue reading

Everything I Have
The Prodigal Son, a well-known story from Scripture, is today’s Gospel. I am sure you have heard the words dozens of times, have thought about which son you are before, and seen how merciful the father is. Homilies take all … Continue reading
