    Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time - January 28, 2024

    Throughout his ministry, Jesus asserts his authority which is given to him by his father in heaven. He says to his disciples, “As the father sends me, so I send you.” Whenever we say “In the name of the Father …” and make the Sign of the Cross, we are also invoking that authority. It’s no small matter, and that’s why using the Lord’s name in vain is a sin. The power that comes with God’s name is not to be used lightly. Even when we are simply praying grace before meals, it’s important to truly center ourselves and bring to mind the power of the one we are thanking. Christ said to his apostles, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations” (Matthew 28:18-19). Do we acknowledge the power of such authority when we call upon his name and spread the gospel ourselves?

    Gospel Lectio Divina for the Third Sunday in Ordinary Time - January 21, 2024

    No matter how many times we read Scripture, God can always reveal something new to us. It is a vast mystery that we could explore for all of eternity, and always discover new truths within. Listen to what God is saying to you in this Sunday’s Gospel. How is he calling you at this time in your life? What is he telling you to leave behind in order to obtain a closer walk with him? Perhaps he is inviting you to examine where you are in your walk with him. Are you in the desert? Are you on the road to Calvary? Are you on the Road to Emmaus? Wherever you are, God has something new to reveal to you.

    Gospel Lectio Divina for the Second Sunday in Ordinary Time - January 14, 2024

    Sometimes God’s call is not direct. Sometimes it is in the subtext in our lives, the subtle happenings that often pass by unnoticed; and if we’re not paying attention we will completely miss what he is saying to us. God’s words are life. They are life-giving, but also life itself. We meet God in Scripture, but when we are in full communion with him we can recognize him speaking through everything around us as well. Find a quiet place and just listen to what God wants to say to you through this Sunday’s Gospel.

    Gospel Lectio Divina for The Epiphany of the Lord -January 7, 2024

    The ride to Bethlehem the magi took was probably quiet. They had nothing but a star to guide them. But a shining light like that is the best we can hope for in a dark world, just as the desert they rode through was dark. Let the way we listen to God today reflect the silence of that desert, where nothing but the star guided the magi. Let your attentiveness to God be singular like that. Focus on the promised savior in your contemplation and he will guide you.

    Gospel Lectio Divina for the Feast of the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph

    You may have a Nativity scene set up in your house. Imagine for a moment that you are the shepherd, or one of the three kings, or maybe even Mary or Joseph. What is the infant Jesus saying to you in this solemn moment where heaven has met earth in a simple manger? Consider the blessing bestowed upon you to just be there. Jesus wants to move our hearts this season through the mystery of his incarnation and humble birth. In the quiet of winter, now that the hustle and bustle of Christmas day has settled down, take a moment to contemplate what our newborn savior has to say.

    Gospel Lectio Divina for the Fourth Sunday of Advent - December 24, 2023

    God speaks not only in the silence but in our everyday lives. In these days leading up to our Savior’s birth, let him show you how he is working in your life. Don’t get so caught up in Christmas planning. Listen closely to the divine whisper in the midst of the hustle and bustle. This is what it means to remember that Christ is the reason for the season.

    Gospel Lectio Divina for the Third Sunday of Advent - December 17, 2023

    Have we met Jesus? Do we have a personal relationship with him? Most of us have been asked these questions by evangelical Christians. The inquiry may often fall on deaf ears or be met with rolling eyes, but perhaps every now and then we should ask ourselves the question, even if we believe we already have met him. Jesus may be in our lives, trying to reach us, in ways we don’t recognize. He may be that subtle truth we keep pushing to the back of our minds but won’t leave us alone. He may be a simple word we keep stumbling across when we read Scripture and in our daily lives. That’s why we do lectio divina, to quiet our hearts and listen to where Christ may be reaching out to us in ways we may not recognize.

    Gospel Lectio Divina for the Second Sunday of Advent - December 10, 2023

    The stars that guided the Magi did not speak, but they guided the way to Christ. Listening to God’s will often works the same way. Sometimes we search for some conspicuous sign of God’s will that would indicate which way he wants us to go. All the while he has given us lights to guide the way, like Scripture, Tradition, the Church, and the lives of the saints. How is the Lord guiding you along the Way today?

    Gospel Lectio Divina for the First Sunday of Advent - December 3, 2023

    As St. Paul says, God will keep you firm to the end, irreproachable on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 1:8). God is faithful, and by him you were called to fellowship with his Son. Is God extolling and encouraging you to do something more this Advent? Times have been tough lately. These are the days when our faith can be tested and strengthened the most. As winter approaches, God wants to give you stores of hope to prepare for the tough times ahead. All you need to do is listen.
