Seventh Sunday of Ordinary Time – Year A

Every Sunday when we gather together as Church, we profess our faith in God in the centuries-old formula which we call the Nicene Creed. In fact, every time we pray, no matter where we may be, we make a similar profession of faith in God. Prayer presupposes this faith.

Sixth Sunday of Ordinary Time – Year A

This Sunday gives us the opportunity to consider law and commandments. Decidedly, this is not a hot topic in the church pews these days.

Even the prospect that Sirach offers us in the first reading to choose to keep the commandments is undermined by determinist, materialistic thinkers who deny the possibility of free will; the possibility of choosing.

Fifth Sunday of Ordinary Time – Year A

The Israelites who returned from their Exile in Babylon are a changed people. They are, for the most part, the grandchildren or great-grandchildren of those who were taken away to slavery about 50-70 years earlier. Those who return have learned the harsh lessons that come from their suffering as a family. Now they are willing and able to be the people God can call his own.
