Loving God is Listening to God

Thirty-first Sunday in Ordinary Time: Part of loving involves listening and if we say we love God then, are we hearing God speak to us? Are we reordering our attention and concerns to prioritize the Lord in our lives? Jesus, God incarnate, is telling us to love our neighbors as well and this too involves us listening to others. Are we open to pulling back our ego to make space for God and others?

Envy is not of God, Mercy is

A conversation on Isaiah 55:6-9 and Matthew 20:1-16

"The point of all the gospels is Jesus telling us something about God so rather than saying 'I get it, those guys that were hired at dawn,' instead I make myself say 'okay, but what is Jesus letting us know about God now in this?'"

Seeing Jesus Past the Storms

A conversation on 1 Kings 19:9, 11-13 and Matthew 14:22-33

"Whatever our great fear is, God is greater. Whatever we can imagine and try to limit God to be, God is greater. God exists beyond that and that can be terrifying to know how limited our minds and thoughts can be and how grand God is."

How to Uncover God's Hidden Treasure

A conversation on 1 Kings 3:5, 7-12 and Matthew 13:44-52

"To receive divine wisdom we have to acknowledge our limitations, suppress our ego and be open to receive God. No matter our knowledge or possessions we cannot compare to God."
