In today’s Readings we are reminded that words are important. How we speak, what we say, does impact our relationships with other people. And our relationship with God.

Let God guide you thoughts and words.

Go in Peace. Serve the Lord.

Thanks be to God!

In today’s readings, we see Jesus fulfill the Old Testament prophecy of Isaiah, “Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.”

Our eyes and ears too often are closed to God’s love and grace. Let us all pray for guidance in navigating this confusing world.

Go in Peace. Serve the Lord.

Thanks be to God!

As Jesus reminds us this week in Mark’s Gospel, “For it is from within, from the human heart, that evil intentions come.” This week, let us each search our hearts, reject the evil and find the good that is also there. Then share that good with the world.

Go in Peace. Serve the Lord.

Thanks be to God!

The apostle Peter was capable, like many of us, of both moments of complete clarity and moments of total blindness. In today’s Gospel lesson we hear one of those sudden bursts of insight from Peter. When Jesus asked the disciples “Do you wish to go away?”, Peter responded, “Lord, to whom can we go? You have the words of eternal life.”

Sometimes the simplest of responses can hold the key to the most amazing of gifts.

Go in Peace. Serve the Lord.

Thanks be to God!

In this week’s Gospel lesson, Jesus tells the crowd gathered to hear him, “Whoever comes to me will never be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.”

What are you hungry for? What do you thirst for? Jesus is here, waiting for you.

Go in Peace. Serve the Lord.

Thanks be to God!

In this week’s Gospel lesson we hear again the beautiful and life giving words of John 6:35, “Jesus said to them, ‘I am the bread of life, Whoever comes to me will never be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.'”

What do you hunger for? What makes you thirst? Trust in Christ and live.

Go in Peace. Serve the Lord.

Thanks be to God!

In this week’s Gospel we hear again two examples of Christ’s divinity and of his humanity. He feeds the crowd who has come to hear him, knowing they were hungry and would have difficulty finding food for such a large group. And he walks on the water to join his disciples in a wave tossed boat. He knew they were frightened. He calmed their fears.

Christ knows our own needs and fears. We only have to believe in Him and trust in His love and care.

Go in Peace. Serve the Lord.

Thanks be to God!

In today’s readings, Jesus is shown as the Good Shepherd, having compassion on the people who had come to him seeking comfort, seeking healing, seeking direction. Even today, his flock continues to seek Him, to hear his voice, to find peace in His presence.

Follow the Shepherd. Find your inner sheep.

Go in Peace. Serve the Lord.

Thanks be to God!
