John 2:13-22 – Sacrificing one's zeal for material things
The Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. In the temple he found people selling cattle, sheep, and doves, and the money changers seated at their tables. Making a whip of cords, he drove all of them out of the temple, both the sheep and the cattle. He also poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables. He told those who were selling the doves, “Take these things out of here! Stop making my Father’s house a marketplace!” His dis

Homily for the second Sunday in Lent – Wearing the face of God
We are now beginning our twelfth day of forty in a symbolic period of time we call Lent. Last Sunday we found the symbolism in the readings telling us that baptism by the Holy Spirit is what speaks to us individually, sending each of us willingly to have our commitment to God be tested. Our Lenten sacrifices are then not to ourselves but to God. Last Sunday we read from the Book of Genesis and remembered the covenant God made with Noah. Today we hear the words that also come

Mark 8:31-38 - Being taught to become a Son of man
Jesus began to teach his disciples that the Son of Man must undergo great suffering, and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again. He said all this quite openly. And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. But turning and looking at his disciples, he rebuked Peter and said, “Get behind me, Satan! For you are setting your mind not on divine things but on human things.”

Genesis 17:1-7, 15-16 - A covenant to walk in love forevermore
When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to Abram, and said to him, “I am God Almighty; walk before me, and be blameless. And I will make my covenant between me and you, and will make you exceedingly numerous.” Then Abram fell on his face; and God said to him, “As for me, this is my covenant with you: You shall be the ancestor of a multitude of nations. No longer shall your name be Abram, but your name shall be Abraham; for I have made you the ancestor of a mul

Romans 4:13-25 - Having the faith of Abram
For the promise that he would inherit the world did not come to Abraham or to his descendants through the law but through the righteousness of faith. If it is the adherents of the law who are to be the heirs, faith is null and the promise is void. For the law brings wrath; but where there is no law, neither is there violation.

Homily for the first Sunday in Lent - Understanding baptism
On this first Sunday in the season of self-sacrifice called Lent we read of the covenant between God and Noah, which is the promise to never again destroy life on earth with water – a Great Flood – with the sign of that covenant being the rainbow. That reading is then accompanied by one from Peter’s first epistle which said that Great Flood, being when Noah and his family was saved from the destruction, “prefigured” the baptism true Christians knew, which was the promise of b

Mark 1:9-11 - Coming to terms with what baptism means
In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. And just as he was coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens torn apart and the Spirit descending like a dove on him. And a voice came from heaven, “You are my Son, the Beloved; with you I am well pleased.”

1 Peter 3:18-22 - Realizing Jesus died so we can become him reborn
1 Peter 3:18-22 Christ also suffered for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, in order to bring you to God. He was put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit, in which also he went and made a proclamation to the spirits in prison, who in former times did not obey, when God waited patiently in the days of Noah, during the building of the ark, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were saved through water. And baptism, which this prefigured, now

Genesis 9:8-17 – The covenant of no more great floods
God said to Noah and to his sons with him, “As for me, I am establishing my covenant with you and your descendants after you, and with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the domestic animals, and every animal of the earth with you, as many as came out of the ark. I establish my covenant with you, that never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of a flood, and never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth.” God said, “This is the sign of the

Mark 9:38-41 - Unofficial students not registered in the Jesus School for Disciples
38 John said to him, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we tried to stop him, because he was not following us.” 39 But Jesus said, “Do not stop him; for no one who does a deed of power in my name will be able soon afterward to speak evil of me. 40 Whoever is not against us is for us. 41 For truly I tell you, whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because you bear the name of Christ will by no means lose the reward.

Acts 5:1-11 - Whatever made you think you had to serve God?
It is worthwhile to realize that selections from the Book of the Acts of the Apostles are basically only read during Easter: Easter week, Easter Sunday, the seven weeks of the Easter season, and Pentecost Sunday. In those selections, only once does anything from chapter five get read. That is on the Second Sunday of Easter (Year C - meaning just once every three years), when verses 27-32 are read aloud. [A story of the Apostles before the Sanhedrin.] Chances are, few will eve
