She was greatly troubled at what was said and pondered what sort of greeting this might be. (Lk 1:29)
The Word
First Sunday of Advent: He Is Coming!
‘May he not come suddenly and find you sleeping.’ (Mk 13:36)
Second Sunday of Advent: Thy Kingdom Come
‘One mightier than I is coming after me.” (Mk 1:7)
A Talent for the Gospel
When the Master returns, he will want to know what we did to further the compassion, humility, freedom and love he entrusted to us.
Inherit the Kingdom
God’s “sheep” know their dependence. Knowledge of their own need for grace opens their hearts to the needs of others.
The Relationship That Matters
Only those who understand true humility can walk with Christ each day into the presence of the Father.
Those Who Are Ready
Only three Sundays remain in the church year. Each of them includes a Gospel about the end times.
Awe and Devotion
Every display of love that we receive should transfix us with awe and inspire a response of the deepest generosity.
Whom Do You Serve?
These other sovereigns can confer social status but not community, power but not trust, wealth but not fulfillment, pleasure but not joy.
Truth to Power
Today’s parable challenges anyone today with a position of leadership in the church.
