REFLECTION ON THE DAILY GOSPEL 14 November 2011

When these people saw the miracle, they could relate to the power of God. However, it is critical to hear his words, that faith has saved you.

Beyond all other things we may do to honor God, we can do nothing without faith and everything is possible with it.

 

Gospel Lk 18:35-43

REFLECTION ON THE DAILY GOSPEL 1 SEPTEMBER 2011

Simon follows the instructions to put out into deep water. He makes the point that he has already failed to catch fish earlier in the day, but follows Jesus’s instructions anyway.

How many times do we question the call of God to “put out into deep water”. ?

Jesus tells us “Do not be afraid”, for he is with us at all times.

Our faith must guide us and become stronger if we are to do his work. He wants us to be catching men not just the fish in this miracle.

Reflection on the Daily Gospel 29 April 2011

The stone the builders rejected, is the cornerstone of our lives.

 

Despite all the miracles, the good works, the inspired instruction for changing our lives, God still gets rejected. We even are scared when a miracle happens and we don’t know how to handle it. He founded his Church around this cornerstone of his mission and works. Our job is to proclaim it.
