He is beginning to sound like a prophet, but, ‘This is Joseph’s son, surely?’Usin ...Continue Reading

In the Spirit of the Lord, with which Jesus has been anointed, he will bring good news to the poor, liberty to c ...Continue Reading

Mary sees what has happened and mentions it to Jesus but he seems reluctant to do anything about it: ‘My hou ...Continue Reading

The second reading from the Book of the Apocalypse speaks of Christ as the "faithful witness" to God and "ruler of the kings of the earth." Here is a king who loves his people and sheds his ...Continue Reading

*Celebrating at Home: When the Son of Man Appears **33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time*In the Gospel, Mark presents a vision of the full establishment of the Kingdom and the coming of Christ as the final proof of God’s victory. The coming in glory of the risen Jesus together with the great gathering of his people from every corner of the earth, were meant as reassurance to a weary and frightened community of believers. They have followed the way of discipleship, sharing in Jesus’ suffering, some to the point of ...Continue Reading
