Gospel Reflections

May we, the baptized, by the example of our lives, become in Christ the light of the world

As the catechumens begin their final journey to the water of baptism, they participate in what are called Scrutinies

I believe more time in prayer is essential to the season of Lent

‘Scripture reading and study is a good practice to help us move closer to God.’

‘Consider what changes of adjustments the teachings of Jesus in this chapter are calling you to make in your life and in your heart.’

The responsibility lies with each of us to form our conscience so that we recognize the difference

Consider how you might flavor and illuminate the life of another

‘Jesus knew himself, trusted himself, accepted himself as the Son of God and so dared to live the mission given to him.’

‘We know his decision.’

I like to think that today’s Gospel builds on the Godspell hint that John’s recognition of Jesus wasn’t instantaneous

We are more alike than different

Mary deserves a feast day of the highest rank celebrating a mystery of faith
