When Jesus was presented in the temple, it was likely an ordinary event among many similar presentations each week. However, Simeon and Anna's ability to perceive something extraordinary suggests that spirituality often eludes those who do not actively seek it. What insights did they possess that others lacked? This passage prompts us to consider whether God communicates with us through the mundane aspects of our daily lives.

It's noteworthy that neither Anna nor Simeon held any official position within the temple community; they were not leaders or figures of authority. This indicates that anyone—regardless of status—can cultivate a direct relationship with God. The reading challenges those in leadership or theological roles to recognize that the Spirit operates beyond traditional boundaries.

Send us a text We don’t know for sure what Jesus actually did while he was in the desert. In biblical times, going to the desert held significant spiritual, symbolic, and practical meanings. Here are some key aspects of its significance. The desert was often a place where individuals were prepared for their destinies. The desert offered solitude, which was conducive to reflection and prayer. John the Baptist like so many others, used this solitude to prepare for his ministry. This period allowed for spiritual growth and purification. The desert environment was harsh and so fostered a sense of dependence on God, emphasizing humility as a prerequisite for spiritual understanding. The desert provided a setting for direct communication with God, free from distractions. We have many examples of Jesus going to a deserted place to pray. This is evident in the stories of Abraham, Moses, and Jesus, who all had significant encounters with God in the desert. The Israelites faced numerous challenges during their 40-year journey. This symbolism highlights the desert as a proving ground for faith. Despite its harsh conditions, the desert was where God demonstrated His provision and faithfulness. The Israelites received manna and quail, illustrating God's care for His people especially in the time of hardship. In summary, the desert in biblical times was a place of spiritual transformation, symbolic testing, and practical demonstration of God's presence and provision.…

7:18

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? Wisdom is correlated with intelligence but its not absolute. I suspect you may know someone who is highly educated but not wise, often making the same mistake over and over again. On the other hand, you may know someone else who may not have all the academic or educational credentials but nevertheless are considered to be wise. Wisdom is often associated with advanced age. It is true, people who have embraced life are often wise. Individuals of any age who have gone through a crisis whether it is health, or relationship or career often reflect a wisdom beyond their years. So, what then is wisdom? I can share a few insights. Wise people have learned from their life experiences, they perceive life events differently. They trust themselves and have little to prove. They are often not in a hurry to bring issues to closure.…

Send us a text Christians are called to go beyond the bare minimum. Let’s unpack this Gospel, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you. Bless those who curse you. Tough words. The basic message is Jesus telling the people that your actions should be based on your personal values not a reaction to someone else’s bad behavior. The teaching is a call to freedom. Sure, it hurts when someone mistreats you, this is especially true if that someone was someone you trusted. Yes, they may deserve retribution but its not about them. Yes, they and others may initially think you are weak for not retaliating. They may not see that you are making a choice, its not because you cannot defend yourself. The irony here is you are strong; you are resisting the impact of their injurious behavior.…

Send us a text The Beatitudes are not merely statements of happiness; they encapsulate profound spiritual truths about God's kingdom and our spiritual development. They highlight qualities such as humility, mercy, and a thirst for righteousness, promising future rewards for those who embody these traits. Consequently, the Beatitudes are foundational teachings outlining the ethical and spiritual framework for Christian spirituality. They can be found in Matthew 5:3-12, with notable differences between Matthew's and Luke's versions—Matthew includes eight Beatitudes while Luke lists only four and includes criticisms of the wealthy.…

6:03

Send us a text The call of Peter and the other disciples illustrates God's invitation for us to follow Him. Despite his initial reluctance and desire to return home after a long night of fishing, Peter allows Jesus into his boat. This kind of openness is crucial for our own spiritual growth. I want to emphasize the moment when Jesus asks Peter to lower his nets for a catch—this serves as both a literal task and a metaphor for spiritual growth. The saying "80% of success is showing up," attributed to Woody Allen the American filmmaker and actor, encapsulates the importance of taking that first step toward personal or spiritual growth. By showing up despite his doubts, Peter exemplifies the openness necessary for spiritual development. Are we willing to go beyond our comfort zone?…

Send us a text During Sabbath services, it was customary for males to read from Scripture or the Torah. Jesus reads from the scroll of the prophet Isaiah, which is significant because Isaiah made many prophecies about the Messiah. The Gospel of Matthew speaks about how these prophecies are fulfilled. This reading serves as a blueprint for Jesus’ ministry. Even though Jesus is reading from the prophet Isisia The reading seems to be in Jesus own words. In fact, it appears that Jesus is reading his own mission statement.…

John 2-1-11 Are we aware of God's interventions in our life? 11:42

11:42

Send us a text The Gospel today is about the first miracle that Jesus performed. It is unique. There are no healings, or obvious teachings. The teaching is actually rather subtle. Jesus makes wine for a wedding at the request or expectation of his mother. There are a few points that I want to draw your attention to because they are useful teachings about spirituality. The first is the amount of wine made, the six stone water jars contained 20 to 30 gallons each. That is approximately 120 to 360 gallons of wine in total. That is a lot of wine! I want to draw your attention to the conversation between the groom and the wine steward or in some translations the head waiter. Have you ever had the experience of someone telling you something fairly basic that you already knew? . For example, the groom already knew what the wine steward was trying to explain. The point that I want to make is that while there was nothing actually wrong with what the wine steward said he nevertheless failed to recognize God’s intervention. Do we, like the wine steward, miss God's interventions in our life?…

Send us a text In Luke’s Gospel we have a brief description of Jesus being baptized by his cousin, John the Baptist. The details are scarce. We don’t know why Jesus chose to participate in this ritual or how it impacted his ministry. This story is problematic however, as this ritual was designed for sinners, why would Jesus who had not sinned be participating in this ritual? This is a good lesson for us in that while we may have the right to do something we ought to also take into account the impact that our actions may have upon others.…

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. Likely, this naming is primarily derived from Western Christian tradition. Its highly unlikely that three kings would have gone into the desert alone without an entourage for protection. Likely if three kings showed up in a small town everyone would soon know and King Herod would not have had to rely on the Magi to find out exactly where Jesus was. The gifts brought by the Wise Men give us a hint and foretell the ministry of Jesus. Gold representing royalty, frankincense symbolizing divinity, and myrrh foreshadowing suffering and death.…

Send us a text I like to do something special for Lent and Advent. Last Easter I set up an internet retreat. This Christmas season I want to talk about the spirituality of New Years Resolutions. I feel very strongly about this. I am surprised the Church doesn’t say more about New Years Resolutions. I believe there is something spiritual happening when people at the end of the year look at their lives and make decisions about where they can do better or acknowledging where they are being held back. In many cases they attempt to make changes. Sadly, they are seldom successful. Many people do not realize that they may be self sabotaging their plans to achieve their goals. Making changes in one’s life is not easy. We are creatures of habit. I would like to provide some direction for those who would like to have their Resolutions result in positive changes in their life.…

8:16

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. This Gospel story is likely every parent’s nightmare; having one of their children lost. I can hardly imagine what Mary and Joseph were going through during those 3 days of searching for their son, Jesus. It seems that Jesus knew early in his life or might have had some insight into his true identity. The problem is that he did not share his plans with his parents when he decided to remain in Jerusalem at the temple. It makes sense that a 12-year-old child may not fully understand the implications and indeed the consequences of his actions on others. Still, as the Gospel suggests he had to grow into a better understanding of his mission. I wonder if he was ready to start his ministry at the age of twelve! That was not meant to be at this time. It would be another 18 years before Jesus would begin his public ministry. This maturing process was necessary for Jesus. This was not just a period of waiting; important maturing aspects were going on.…

Send us a text In today’s podcast we have Mary visiting her cousin Elizabeth. There are several points in this Gospel I want to point out. We have Mary who is pregnant herself going to help her cousin Elizabeth . Mary’s sense of service is obvious. We know that Elizabeth was likely past childbearing years. She was not able to have a child in a culture that expected women to have children, Many people looked down on women who were childless. Elizabeth is not the only one from the Bible who struggled with infertility. Elizabeth is an excellent example of being meek. We don’t know much about Elizabeth, but I suspect she had her struggles. Being considered barren must have been hard for her. Elizabeth handled herself well and remained faithful to God despite the fact that it would appear God was not answering her prayers. She is truly an example of what meekness is all about. She is also strong; she can and does speak her truth confidently and succinctly when the time comes. Her faithfulness under pressure is admirable.…

Send us a text In this podcast from Luke, we hear more about John the Baptist. John is giving advice to individuals who want to change their life to reflect their beliefs. These individuals realize that their faith is not just practiced on holy days but will also impact their behavior at work and at home. There are a couple of key points that I want to draw your attention to. When asked what to do John doesn’t say, pray more or sin less or give more money to the Temple. Do you notice that all of his advice involves how to respectfully relate to other people? John treats everyone the same. It doesn’t matter what their profession is. In most cultures including our own, professions are ranked from least to most prestigious. That means nothing to John. All work is honorable. The people are called to do an honest day’s work. Sometimes we are fortunate, and the job has meaning or purpose. Other times people work for the money. They work to live. They find purpose outside of work. But, even if you are working simply for the moony, there is still honor there.…

Send us a text In today’s podcast we are introduced to John also known as John the Baptist not to be confused with the apostle John, the beloved disciple. John the Baptist was related to Jesus, his mother Elizabeth and Mary, the mother of Jesus were first cousins. Likely John and Jesus knew each other growing up. John is seen as the one prophesized by the great prophet Isaiah to prepare the people to receive the Messiah. Matthew 3:1-3, Mark 1:2-3 and Luke 3:4-6. The original prophecy is in Isaiah 40:3. I wonder if Jesus would have been successful without John’s involvement. Is there is a lesson for us? We, like Jesus, have had people in our life that have helped us on our way. In a sense, our successes are not totally our own. Others have helped us along the way and by recognizing their role in our spiritual development we in turn are called to support other individuals on their journey.…
