May 12: Solemnity of the Ascension of the Lord
In a few weeks, graduation season will begin. Many young people from grammar schools to graduate schools are impatiently waiting for their graduation day.
May 5: Sixth Sunday of Easter
“This is my commandment: Love one another.” One would think that this is an easy commandment to fulfill, but consider who is asking.
April 28: Fifth Sunday of Easter
Several years ago, a CIA agent was discovered to be passing top secret information to the Russians. His actions led to a most serious breach of security that resulted in the deaths of several American agents who were working undercover in Russia.
April 21: Fourth Sunday of Easter
Christians have always regarded the figure of the good shepherd as an attractive and endearing image of Jesus. The first Christians especially appreciated it. Many tombs found in Rome’s catacombs have an image of Jesus depicted as a shepherd emblazoned upon them.
April 14: Third Sunday of Easter
Jesus lived and died as an observant Jew. Jesus’ disciples were Jews. The first Christians were Jews. Those Jews who accepted the Gospel did not turn their backs on the ancestral faith. Continuity with their religious past and its commitments was very important for Jewish Christians.
April 7: Second Sunday of Easter
This Sunday has been known by different names. Early liturgical books referred to it as White Sunday. It was the last day on which the newly baptized wore the white garments they received at their baptism that took place during the Easter Vigil.
March 31: Resurrection of the Lord
No one expected it. Not Mary Magdalene, nor any of the other women and men who followed Jesus from Galilee.
March 24: Palm Sunday of the Lord’s Passion
Today’s liturgy begins with a commemoration of Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem. In Mark’s account of Jesus’ ministry, this is the only time Jesus visits Jerusalem since beginning his mission to his fellow Jews, calling them to repentance of faith in view of God’s final and decisive move in Israel’s life. Jesus comes to Jerusalem to issue that call to its people, urging them to respond without delay.
March 17: Fifth Sunday of Lent
It’s a natural enough scene: People want to meet the young rabbi that everyone has been talking about. Some Greek-speaking Jews from the diaspora have come to Jerusalem on the pilgrimage for the feast of Passover. They approach Philip and Andrew, two members of Jesus’ entourage with Greek names that had no Hebrew equivalent. Perhaps the pilgrims thought that Philip and Andrew would be willing to introduce them to their rabbi.
March 10: Fourth Sunday of Lent
The arrangement of the books in the Jewish Bible differs from that in the Christian Old Testament. The latter ends with the book of Malachai, which looks forward to the appearance of Elijah who will come before the Messiah comes. The Gospels interpret the expected Elijah as referring to John the Baptist, who is Jesus’ precursor (Mt 14:10; Lk 1:17).
