Following Jesus Go, sell what you have, and give to the poor...then come, follow me." Today’s readings focus on the demands of radical discipleship. Following Jesus which involves non-attachment to material things appears impossible to us. But let us remember, all things are possible for God.

Harmony God created the universe as a harmonious assembly to sustain and nurture life. This Sunday's readings focus on the relationship within the human family, men, women and the children of course. After all, Jesus says we all belong to God and we are his brother and sister. Come my family.  

Our God is a God who embraces all and has a special predilection for the smallest and the poorest. In Jesus, his Son, God continues to call us to experience and share this universal love.  Download Sunday reading: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/092924.cfm

The liturgy for this Sunday invites us to consider the true wisdom of following Jesus in the path of servanthood and childlikeness. Let us ask God's Spirit to grant us this wisdom that we may overcome all craving for false greatness and worldly values.

Who do you say I am? Jesus asks. This Sunday's readings invite us to reflect on the theme of right commitments. Life is full of choices. A believer must have a firm base and stand by the choices he or she has made. If you recognize Jesus as the Son of God, will you bear his cross with him?

God's favor. The readings of this Sunday are on the theme of God's grace.  God wants us to open our eyes and ears to receive his healing grace.  His only request is for us to be faithful.

The Lord's words this Sunday challenge us to look deeply into our hearts, where the spirit of the law resides deeply. Are we ready to do this and make our act of worship consistent with our life?

As we reach the end of John 6 which we have been reading for the past 4 Sundays, we are challenged to make a decision: shall we 'remain with Jesus' even if his teaching is hard to understand and to live out? May the Spirit help us accept the challenge of faithful discipleship. Reading for this week: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/082524.cfm

Receiving Divine Nourishment to gain wisdom Receiving divine nourishment is all about receiving Jesus. He wants to remain in us and us in him. This will provide us with the wisdom to practice our faith together as a community so that we can all receive eternal salvation. Won't you join us please to taste the goodness of the Lord?

Nourishment for life 3rd Sunday of a 5 Sunday series on the bread of life. 1st week was how just 5 Barley loaves and 2 fish filled the crowd. 2nd week was the wrong breads will not satisfy your hunger. 3rd week Jesus reminds us his nourishment will give us eternal life. Therefore, anything we do we must do it with the love of Christ in mind.

Looking for the Wrong Bread of Life. 2nd Sunday of a 5 Sunday series on the bread of life. Last week, we began to understand the nourishment of the 5 barley loaves and 2 fish. This second Sunday, in the bread of life sequence, discloses the alarming possibility of looking for the wrong type of nourishment, and seeking sustenance for life from the wrong sources. Sound familiar?

Nourishing one another. For the next five Sundays, the readings will follow a sequence of readings based on the "bread of life" from Chapter 6 of the Gospel of John. The unifying theme is that of Jesus, sustaining believers through the provision of special nourishment. This Sunday, let's start with five barley loaves and two fish.

Come home to God Sunday's readings focus on gathering of that which has been scattered. This original God intended harmony was lost plunging the world and the human community into disunity. God will not allow his design to be disfigured. He is calling you to gather to restore harmony with each other and him.  How will you respond?

Our lady the best disciple This Sunday, our church of OLMC celebrates the feast of OLMC. The readings are all in honor of our lady who teaches us to open to God and his will without fear; always have faith, hope and love; and to pray to find God in all that happens around us.

Strength in weakness, is it possible? This Sunday we reflect on this theme.  In our society, strengths and weaknesses are usually considered in opposition to one another.  However, in the biblical understanding, they are often presented as complementary.  We are weak but strengthened by the Grace of Christ.  Come gather!

"How can Satan cast out Satan?" Healing the Disrupted World. The human community is full of strife and conflict. Today's readings honestly acknowledge this disturbing but undeniable circumstance, but also show God's plan for the restoration and healing of his disrupted creation.

The feast of the Body and Blood of Christ celebrates the new covenant between God and us. This new covenant was made through Jesus' sacrifice on the cross and was sealed through his blood, the blood of his promise to us. Readings: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/060224.cfm

I am with you always. What a privilege to have God call us his children and for us to call him our father.  Nothing can be closer than family.  Our father is the lover, his son is the beloved and the holy spirit is the communication of that love.  As God's children, we are now joined inseparably to the love of God. Join us to feel his grace.

Empowered for the Mission Last Sunday's Ascension readings focused on entrusting the disciples with continuing Jesus's mission in the world.  Pentecost continues with this theme presenting the coming of the Spirit upon us and the beginning of the Church and its mission. 

We are entrusted with the Mission. This Sunday's readings, Jesus, before he ascends into heaven reminds us of our honorable mission: to spread his good news with the eyes of our heart. Come hear Jesus's last words.

Immersed in God's Love This Sunday's readings have a central theme of God's unconditional love for all.  Action speaks louder than words and we saw his love manifested when he sent his only son to be brutally killed so that we might be saved. We've all experienced his love especially when we are most down and out.  Come again and gather to feel the joy of his love.
