Sunday Scripture Reflections

Bishop Robert Barron - Act Against Your Attachments: Friends, at the heart of what St. Ignatius of Loyola teaches in the “Spiritual Exercises” is the idea of detachment. If we are to do the will of God, then we have to become detached from the worldly goods to which we are addicted. A basic principle of this detachment is “agere contra,” which is Latin simply for “to act against.” The idea is simple: if you are attached or addicted to some worldly good, then the best thing is to act against it—to press, aggressively even, in the opposite direction. listen to more...

Dr. Scott Hahn - To Go Up Higher: We come to the wedding banquet of heaven by way of humility and charity.

This is the way, too, that the Father has shown us down through the ages—filling the hungry, sending the rich away empty, lifting up the lowly, pulling down the proud. read more...

Our Sunday Visitor – Opening the Word – Jesus and the Question that Makes Us Squirm: It was a tense dinner. Luke tells us “the people there were observing him carefully." For a while now, some had been trying to “catch him,” a slip of the tongue, perhaps, or a slight infraction of law. By this time, too, the rumor was that Herod was out to get him. The tension surrounding Jesus was palpable. It wasn’t a relaxing dinner at all; people were watching Jesus’ every move. As Jesus draws nearer Jerusalem, things will get only more tense, until it all breaks into violence — the arrest, the scourging, the death. read more...
