11:37

Send us a text Today, our podcast focusses on one of the multiplication of loaves miracles. Luke begins describing the story with Jesus healing those who needed to be cured.

Jn 16:12-15 Jun 15-25 What level of spirituality are you on? 8:25

16d ago8:25

8:25

Send us a text The opening section of this Gospel brings to mind 1 Corinthians 13:11, where Paul uses the metaphor of childhood to describe spiritual immaturity: “When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put away childish things.” Spiritual immaturity refers to a stage in whic…

Send us a text To help us understand the Holy Spirit, the reading begins by emphasizing God’s love for us—a recurring and familiar theme in John’s Gospel. Love inherently involves vulnerability. The more deeply we love, the more at risk we are to being hurt. This vulnerability makes trust essential in any relationship. Trust can be given or earned,…

Send us a text Love is a central and recurring theme in John’s Gospel, and it has been a focus in previous episodes. Love lies at the core of Christian faith. However, I invite you to reflect on whether your image of God is one that is easy to love. Many identify as Christians out of a desire for salvation yet seeking salvation and loving God are n…

1M ago13:02

13:02

Send us a text Jesus’ call to love is not easy, people are so afraid of being taken advantage of or they do not feel love for the person. Is Jesus calling his followers to something they cannot achieve? Are people who are loving more vulnerable to being taken advantage of? Some people act as if they have a finite amount of love to give and so don’t…

Jn 10-27-30, May 11-25 Are there shepherds amongst us? 8:06

2M ago8:06

8:06

Send us a text Jesus portrays shepherds as protectors and guides for the sheep. Likely they served as metaphors of God’s protective and guiding nature. I wonder if there is more here. Perhaps the shepherd has a role to play in our faith. We don’t see many shepherds in most western towns and cities. When I think of shepherds, I think of individuals …

Send us a text This Gospel is one of the early resurrection stories.

Send us a text Jesus is calling his followers to be wise. He gives a few tools on how to be wise. The list is not complete. What is wisdom?

Send us a text During Sabbath services, it was customary for males to read from Scripture or the Torah.

Send us a text In today’s Gospel the arrival of the Magi is noted. This Gospel is full of symbolism about who Jesus would be. Some biblical traditions list the Magi as kings and some traditions have even named them, Caspar (or Gaspar), Melchior, and Balthazar.

Send us a text The Gospel today is quite different from our usual readings. It is a story from when Jesus was a twelve-year-old boy.

Send us a text This Gospel was written over 2,000 years ago and the world is still here so I am less convinced the readings were written to prepare us for the end times.
