The Kingdom of God is at Hand
By Susan Skinner
This is the version in Mark’s Gospel of Jesus walking on water. There’s an odd line in it. He meant to pass by them. The passage concludes with Jesus telling them “it is I” and then it explains they had not understood the incident of the loaves and their hearts were hardened.

When Our Gifts Become Obstacles to God
By Katie Zalany
?I’ve been doing a lot of reflection on the many Gospel passages about riches being obstacles to the kingdom of heaven. As I’ve reflected on my own gifts and “riches,” I came to an insight about these passages: Our gifts can be gateways to God, but at a point, they can become obstacles to God.

Living The Worthy Life- Mother Mary Converts The World
By Michael Cunningham
In his 1952 book, Worlds First Love, Bishop Fulton Sheen devoted an entire chapter to how Mother Mary could be used as key to converting Moslems all over the world to Christianity. He did not mix words or confuse people in this straight-forward set of words.

Embrace the Night for it Brings Light
By Katie Zalany
Do we think of the night as light? As transformative in its power? As an in-road to the Divine? Because it is.

Loving Mean People
By Susan Skinner
We know that we are in a battle with powers and principalities, but what we struggle with the most is how to battle them. We fight people instead of demons and this is where we lose the battles.

Have you met Satan?
By Victor S E Moubarak

A Parishioner Who Showed Me My Loveliness
By Katie Zalany

Encouraging words about my voice and potential are said, but there's just one problem: I get terribly nervous singing in front of others on my own and my voice becomes too soft and weak. Plus, there are plenty of other talented, better singers in the group.
