Let us be the people Jesus describes, as he sends his disciples out on Mission
...mean to be baptized into Christ’s death and buried with Christ? Let’s start with Paul, whose words we’re repeating. Paul wrote this in his letter to the Church in Rome – the center of power in the ancient world. He told people in that center of power that they were baptized into Christ’s death, so it makes sense to follow with the question of Christ: Who was the historical Jesus, into whose death the Romans were baptized – into whose...
National World Kindness Day
...would say I’m enabling. “He’s probably really not homeless. Direct your act of kindness to organizations you can trust, Denise.” So, acts of kindness should be directed only to “worthy people?” Enough, Denise. National World Kindness Day is straightforward in its purpose: World Kindness Movement at a Tokyo conference 24 years ago is now a global movement reminding everyone of the power of kindness. The power of kindness … now there’s something to think about, act on and believe in....

November 23, 2025: The Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe
...we could point to our process of Presidential Inauguration with its traditions and fanfare as we install “the most powerful (person) in the world” as we have come to describe the nature of the U.S. Presidency. In both these scenarios the self -importance of these earthly rulers, kings and presidents alike, is prominently displayed. Earthly kings and nations’ presidents project their temporal power through displays of might, wealth, ostentatious military parades and conquest. Then, we turn to Jesus, a powerless...
Sister Marie Kevin Tighe
“Nothing therefore can come between us and the love of Christ … neither death or life, neither angels nor principalities, nothing that exists, nothing still to come, not any power, or height or depth, nor any created thing, can ever come between us and the love of God made visible in Christ Jesus.” Reading: Romans 8:28-39 (selected verses) I feel that I should begin this commentary about Sister Marie Kevin’s nearly 90-year long life’s journey with a disclaimer. What was...
Q and A: The new cosmology: a Providence perspective
...of new cosmology is not to abandon the past but to examine its riches in new light. A case in point is our relation to Christ. What does it mean in the light of our new consciousness? Seeing Christ as the center of an evolutionary universe brings a new understanding of Christ and of ourselves in relation to him. In the past, the human need for redemption guided the thought of classical theologians. They did not see the incarnation as...

Seven sisters honored for Civil War service
...thou has opened to so many millions that have struggled with hardships and with hunger in the crowded old world. We give thanks to the power that has made and preserved us.

International Women’s Day, March 8
A child is born for us today. A daughter is given. Upon her a LIGHT shall shine that no darkness shall ever overcome. She shall not keep this LIGHT to herself, not hide it under a bushel as might be expected of woman. Rather she shall place it upon a lamp stand so the sun of justice may rise with its healing rays. —– By Sister Donna Butler (excerpt) As we approach International Women’s Day on March 8, 2016, I...
