Reflection for Saturday, March 20, 1999: 4th week in Lent.
(University Ministry, Creighton University., 1999-03-20)
Today's readings are both about recognizing God and responding appropriately to God. In the preceding passages in Jeremiah, God tells Jeremiah to remind the people that they have ignored God's covenant and rules. They ...
Reflection for Tuesday, March 16, 2010: 4th week in Lent.
(University Ministry, Creighton University., 2010-03-16)
Water, water everywhere! In the first reading we see water flowing from the temple of God. The water is nourishing and healing. All aquatic life can live in this water. All plants can grow from it, and because of the water, ...
Reflection for Saturday, February 11, 2012: 5th week in Ordinary Time.
(University Ministry, Creighton University., 2012-02-11)
Our readings today are antithetical. The first reading is all about selfishness. Jeroboam is only thinking of himself and his position. He wants to retain the power, so he creates false idols and lures the people to worship ...
Reflection for Friday, December 12, 2014: 2nd week in Advent..
(University Ministry, Creighton University., 2014-12-12)
|I gave a test today, and some of the students did not perform very well. I know they won't be happy with their test grades, and I feel bad about the situation. I think they should have read the text, they should have paid ...
Reflection for Thursday, October 21, 2010: 29th week in Ordinary Time.
(University Ministry, Creighton University., 2010-10-21)
Today's readings seem like an odd mix. The first reading talks about how we are all part of God's family, and how God is a part of all families and in fact the source of all families. And the psalm is about the blessings ...
Reflection for Sunday, November 8, 1998: 32nd week in Ordinary Time.
(University Ministry, Creighton University., 1998-11-08)
I am a vegetarian. I choose not to eat meat because of moral reasons. I do not personally want to be responsible for the death of animals, and if they had to die so I could eat them or wear their fur or skin, I am responsible ...
Reflection for Wednesday, November 24, 2010: 34th week in Ordinary Time.
(University Ministry, Creighton University., 2010-11-24)
Today's gospel is hard to get a handle on. Jesus is actually talking directly to his disciples here, but in the bigger picture, aren't we all disciples? And he tells them that things will be hard for them. They will be ...
Reflection for Saturday, November 10, 2007: 31st week in Ordinary Time.
(University Ministry, Creighton University., 2007-11-10)
I did some research on this Gospel reading to find out what Jesus was talking about here in terms of the dishonest money. In this practice of usury, the lender is imposing his own interest and his agent is imposing an extra ...
Reflection for Saturday, December 6, 2003: 1st week in Advent.
(University Ministry, Creighton University., 2003-12-06)
I love Advent. It's such a happy time in the church year. And it's my own church anniversary _ when I converted, more than twenty years ago now, it was the first week in advent. Advent is such a cheerful time I think, ...
Reflection for Tuesday, December 6, 2011: 2nd week in Advent.
(University Ministry, Creighton University., 2011-12-06)
I love Advent. I love the Advent wreath. I love the Advent calendar (especially if it's chocolate). I really love the music. I think I miss singing for Mass most during Advent, and I'm humming Handel's Messiah while I'm ...
