Hidden Love

“The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure buried in a field…” Just as a lover, God delights in hiding His love for me to find and embrace. How different would life be if I approached each day on the lookout for God’s surprises of love, hidden in encounters and experiences that come my way?...

In today’s Gospel, Jesus teaches His disciples to pray and gives them the words of the Our Father. What if we really considered the meaning of these words and lived by them?

No Exclusions

When Jesus tells the story of the Good Samaritan, it is in response to someone who wishes to narrow down the list of those whom he needs to love. If I am required to love my neighbor and I can exclude some from the category of neighbor, I am free of my obligation to love...

Are We There Yet?

In today’s Gospel, Jesus very clearly states that the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who receive it as little children.
