This weekends gospel compares the Scribes, who were focused on money and power versus the widow who gave all that she has because of her faith and trust in God. Actually, if you look through all the Gospels you will find Jesus critical of the rich and supportive of the poor. But it is not so much that money is the root of all evil, rather it is power. For once ego aligns itself with power it can no longer see the truth. It will be preoccupied with what I have and how best to protect itindependent of the Gospel teachings.

Todays gospel is so much more than just the healing of someone with a physical blindness rather it is a story that calls for us to open our eyes to be like Christ and to bring forth Gods life changing message of the liberation for the oppressed and the inclusion of the marginalized. It is a story about each of us recognizing our own spiritual blindness -those times when we are hardheaded, judgmental, close minded, and have our own certitude as to who is in and who is out who is up and who is down why I am right and you are wrongwhich seems to be the main criteria of this current election cycle.

The Synoptic Gospel writes all give us the story of the institution of the Eucharist the story of Jesus gathering his disciples at table: blessing, breaking and giving them bread and asking them to do the same thing over and over again andto remember him. But some 20 or so years later, when John takes pen to paper, he doesnt write anything about the Last Supper, rather he gives us this Bread of Life Discourse which we have listened to these past few weeks. So why did John make this substitution of stories? After all, what could be more important than Eucharist? Check it out]]>

Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this mystery from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity?

As we each walk through this season of Advent, we may just find ourselves in some form of wilderness, thirsting for peace, reconciliation and healing and thus its a time we need to be alert, awake, watchful and vigilant to Gods presence. So, perhaps we take the lead from Isaiah where we spend time seeking how we can better Prepare the way of the Lordof how we can look at the valleys, at the crookedness, and the rough places not just in the outside world, but also in our own hearts. What does that look like? Check it out]]>

Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe: to some degree I think the title of todays feast day could miss the mark of its original purpose and design. For did you ever notice, nowhere in the Gospels does Jesus say to worship him, much less as a king he simply said to follow him and to do as he does. The best description of all of this, across all the Gospels, appears in todays reading of Matthews recording of Jesus last discourse which indicates kinship seems to be more important that kingship.

For the past few weeks, we have been listening to Jesus telling parables to the Chief Priests and Pharisees. For Jesus is attempting to get their attention to think differently, choose differently and to open their eyes to his teachings of the Kingdom of God. But they show no interest in listening to his teachings about love and compassion, much less inclusion. Thus, they look to corner Jesus into committing a crime of sedition and thus be crucified, by putting the question to Jesus if taxes should be paid to Caesar or not. Perhaps a way to phrase this question in the present time would be: is our allegiance with the spiritual or the worldly? Where is our focus today? Since this story appears in all three Synoptic Gospels, this story carries a deeper and more significant message than a Gospel about just paying taxes. What is that hidden meaning? Check it out ]]>

This Sunday we heard the conclusion of the Gospel story that began last week when Jesus said he would build his Church upon the rock of Peter. But a few lines later Jesus calls Peter, Satan and he is told to get behind Christ and follow him. So how did Peter get it so right to the point where Jesus will use Peter as the foundation of his Church and then in the next moment Peter gets it so wrong as to be called Satan? The answer and, indeed our lesson, is rooted in the two types of thinking that we face every day. What are they? How do we distinguish them? Check it out]]>

By breaking with social norms Jesus reaches out with acceptance, self-worth and compassion to one who was socially outcast. For this is a Gospel story that teaches us, reminds us, encourages us that in the Kingdom of God there are no outcasts, there are no strangers, there are no us versus them, rather it is a kingdom of only repentant and welcomed sinners people like you and me.

The Gospel this weekend begins with the question that is asked a number of times across the gospels and one that each of us may have asked in our own spiritual journey: Lord, will only a few be saved? Or better said who is going to heaven and who is going to hell?! To which Jesus answers: Strive to enter through the narrow gate. In those days the narrow gates were the side doors of the walled city where you could enter. They were less exposed and less visible allowing occupants to come and go inconspicuously. So, what does the narrow gate look like for you and me today? Once we figure that out, how does that begin to tell us who wins the ticket to heaven and who doesnt? This complicated Gospel sounds more like a message of exclusion rather than inclusion. So, which is it and what does it mean for each of us? Check it out ]]>

Luke speaks about prayer more than any of the other Evangelistsand in this weekends gospel we hear the disciples, asking Jesus to teach them how to pray and he responds with a simple version of the Lords Prayer. With prayer being so foundation to who we are, how do you pray? But the bigger question may have to do with how we view prayer. In other words, do we come to prayer as a transactional or a relational activity? Do we spend our time in prayer looking for something from Godor are we desiring a connection with God? Leave it to my grandson Oliver to open my eyes to what prayer is really all about. Check it out and see what I mean ]]>
