Happy Mother’s Day to all of you mothers! This will be a most unusual Mother’s Day but please know that you will all be in my special prayers!

FOURTH SUNDAY OF EASTER (Year A)

John 10:1 – 10

Welcome to my annotated commentary of Sunday’s readings. The purpose of my commentary is to give you the background for each reading, a little better understanding of its message and the message that all of the Sunday readings provide us.

As I mentioned last week, most of the Sunday Gospels during Easter this year will be from the Gospel of John. We heard from the Gospel of Luke last week but we return to John’s Gospel. This Sunday, we hear a presentation of the Lord’s attack against the […]

Happy Feastday Saint Catherine of Siena

As we celebrate the Feast of our patron saint, Catherine of Siena, let me invite you to watch an excellent YouTube presentation by the then Fr. Robert Barron on St. Catherine. As always with Bishop Barron, it’s an excellent presentation, giving us really good insights into her life and influence in the world of her day and even today; you will find a link to his presentation below. And, if you didn’t join in the live streamed school Mass earlier this morning, you will find a link to that […]

THIRD SUNDAY OF EASTER (Year A)

Luke 24:13 – 35

Welcome to my annotated commentary of Sunday’s readings. The purpose of my commentary is to give you the background for each reading, a little better understanding of its message and the message that all of the Sunday readings provide us.

Although this is the year when our Sunday Masses will ordinarily feature the Gospel of Matthew, we hear almost exclusively from a John’s Gospel throughout the Easter Season, since this Gospel contains the most material on the Resurrection of our Lord. However, on the Third Sunday of […]

SECOND SUNDAY OF EASTER – DIVINE MERCY SUNDAY (Year A)

John 20:19 – 31

Welcome to my annotated commentary of Sunday’s readings. The purpose of my commentary is to give you the background for each reading, a little better understanding of its message and the message that all of the Sunday readings provide us.

In this Sunday’s Gospel passage, we hear the presentation of two of the risen Lord’s appearances to the apostles, first on Easter Sunday and then on the next Sunday. These appearances to the disciples have parallels in Mark 16:14-18, Luke 24:36-43 and 1 Corinthians 15:3 – 5; […]

How the Virus Stole Easter

By Kristi B (with a nod to Dr. Seuss) ‘Twas late in ‘19 when the virus began, Bringing chaos and fear to all people, each land. People were sick, hospitals full, Doctors overwhelmed, no one in school. As winter gave way to the promise of spring, The virus raged on, touching peasant and king.

PALM SUNDAY OF THE LORD’S PASSION (Year A)

We begin on Sunday the week that we appropriately call Holy Week, when our Lord Jesus, the Holy Son of God, comes to Jerusalem where he is first hailed as the Son of David, and the Prophet and then is tried as a criminal in a sham trial orchestrated by the Jewish leaders, only to be scourged and crucified. For the Jewish leaders of his time, it was just to get rid of a trouble maker. But, as I hope you have come to learn, this was all part of […]
