What’s it All about? (2nd Sunday of Lent: Genesis 22:1-18; Romans 8:31-34; Mark 9:2-10) Today’s responsorial is taken from Psalm 116. It is a prayer of thanksgiving after a crisis. Like most psalms, it relates to our own experience. Who amongst us has never been “greatly afflicted”? It was not only…
Remember and Return (1st Sunday of Lent: Genesis 9:8-15; 1 Peter 3:18-22; Mark 1:12-15) God’s covenant with Noah was accompanied by a sign, the rainbow. Its stated purpose is to keep God from forgetting his promise, “There shall not be another flood to devastate the earth.” Ordinary signs point us in…
Moved with Pity (6th Ordinary Sunday: Leviticus 13:1-2,44-46; 1 Cor. 10:31—11:1; Mark 1:40-45) St. Paul, in the second reading, describes his ministry as “not seeking my own benefit but that of the many, that they may be saved.” This is exactly the example given by Jesus in the Gospel. He healed…
Right and Just (5th Ordinary Sunday: Job 7:1-7; 1 Corinthians 9:16-23; Mark 1:29-39) In the Preface, which introduces the Eucharistic Prayer at Mass, we affirm that it is “right and just, always and everywhere,” to praise the Lord our God for the blessings being recalled in that day’s liturgy. Always. Everywhere….
“I Know Who You Are” (4th Ordinary Sunday: Deuteronomy 18:15-20; 1 Cor. 7:32-35; Mark 1:21-28) In today’s Gospel, the people were astonished because Jesus “taught them as one having authority and not as the scribes.” One man in the synagogue, however, was not astonished but terrified. Possessed by an unclean spirit,…

A New Song (3rd Ordinary Sunday: Jonah 3:1-10; 1 Corinthians 7:29-31; Matthew 1:14-20) We begin this reflection with today’s Entrance Antiphon: “O sing a new song to the Lord; Sing to the Lord, all the earth” (Ps. 96:1). It provides an insight into the readings and into La Salette. In all…
Titles (2nd Ordinary Sunday: 1 Samuel 3:3-19; 1 Corinthians 6:13-20; John 1:35-42) Do you have a title? La Salette Missionaries write MS after their name, and the La Salette Sisters SNDS. Some of you, our readers, surely have academic titles, or wear a name tag indicating your role and status in…

Testimony (Baptism of the Lord: Isaiah 55:1-11; 1 John 5:1-9; Mark 1:7-11) In today’s Gospel, there are three who bear witness to Jesus. The first is John the Baptist, who foretells his coming. The other two, in order of appearance, are the Holy Spirit, in the visible form of a…
