April 2, Palm/Passion Sunday, Indominable: a Sunday Scriptures blog

March 27, 2023 March 25, 20230

Today we gather together to herald with the whole Church the beginning of the celebration of our Lord’s Paschal Mystery. This “purpose statement” for Holy Week is from the opening prayer of today’s Mass. The “paschal mystery” we celebrate is the suffering, the death and the resurrection of Jesus, but…

March 26, 5th Sunday of Lent, Rising: a Sunday Scriptures blog

March 20, 2023 February 24, 20230

Today our Hebrew Scripture is the end of the famous passage from Ezekiel 37, where dry bones come together. It is paired with John’s Gospel account of the raising of Lazarus. Ezekiel, however, was not prophesying about the resurrection of dead people. His image of newly inspirited “dry bones” was…

March 19, 4th Sunday of Lent, Blindness: a Sunday Scriptures blog

March 13, 2023 February 24, 20230

This Sunday’s Gospel is about the healing of a blind beggar. The story has its humorous moments in some of the cheeky comments made by the beggar. The educated, elite and powerful Pharisees interrogate him to find out who dared heal him on a Sabbath, a sinful violation of the…

March 12, 3rd Sunday of Lent, Living Water: a Sunday Scriptures blog

March 6, 2023 February 24, 20230

This liturgical year, which began with Advent, is “Cycle A,” in which Matthew’s Gospel is often the Gospel reading. But on the third, fourth and fifth Sundays of Lent, we hear three passages from the Gospel of John. Our Church places such importance on these three passages that they also…

March 5, 2nd Sunday of Lent, The Lord: a Sunday Scriptures blog

February 27, 2023 February 24, 20230

Consider these examples: You start learning a language; you can say “that is delicious,” but with your limited vocabulary, you can’t say more about a wonderful meal. Or you have a life-changing experience, but it isn’t until you hear a song that you hear words that express what you felt…

February 26, 1st Sunday of Lent, Temptation: a Sunday Scriptures blog

February 20, 2023 January 31, 20230

Many peoples have “origin stories.” Origin stories are told because, it seems, centuries ago humans asked questions we still ask. How did the world begin? How did we humans begin? Who controls what happens in the world? Are those “controllers” friendly or hostile? Why do bad things happen to us?…

February 19, 7th Sunday in Ordinary Time, The Whole Banana: a Sunday Scriptures blog

February 13, 2023 January 31, 20230

Today is the fourth and final Sunday Gospel from Matthew’s Sermon on the Mount, Jesus’ description of what makes a good person, with its many teachings and examples about the moral life. In last week’s Gospel, we heard Jesus’ emphasis on going beyond the good behavior that is ordinarily expected…

February 12, 6th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Going farther: a Sunday Scriptures blog

February 6, 2023 January 31, 20230

Today’s Gospel is the third of four continuous readings from Matthew’s Sermon on the Mount (Chapter 5). Jesus is summarizing for his listeners the moral life, describing for them what a good person looks like. Many early Christians in Matthew’s community were Jewish converts, so Matthew includes elements that were…

February 5 — 5th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Salt & Light: a Sunday Scriptures blog

January 30, 2023 January 31, 20230

Last Sunday was the first of four Sunday Gospel readings from Matthew’s Sermon on the Mount (Chapter 5), and we heard the beginning words: When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up the mountain, and … He began to teach them.” Moses had climbed a mountain to receive the Ten…

January 29 — Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time, Best Self?: a Sunday Scriptures blog

January 23, 2023 December 21, 20220

For a number of years, people and advertisements and self-help literature have talked about “being your best self” or the “best version of yourself” or other similar expressions. It is aspirational language, and there is something attractive about it. But it also is ambivalent terminology, for what really is a…
