How Seahawks Fit Into Big Story

1/26/2014

On Friday Fr. Valencia and I went to Seattle.  The city has grown more religious.  Everywhere you see sings that have the number of the Apostles Jesus chose... A new T-shirt says "God, Family and Seahawks...in that order."

That's what today's Gospel is about - getting our lives in right order.  Jesus say, "Repent."  That means to change one's mind and heart, to put things in their right place.  "The Kingdom of heaven is at hand."  The kingdom is is God's rule.  St. Thomas Aquinas said...

The Big Story: A Hint About the Final Chapter

1/19/2014

0 Comments

 
In any good story the author gives a hint at the beginning - a clue about how the story will resolve itself. For example, at the beginning of The Hobbit, we meet Bilbo Baggins. He desires one thing: to lead a quiet life, that is, tend his garden and eat eleven or twelve meals a day. The last thing Bilbo wants is an adventure. We see hints, however, that he has surprising skills and courage. In the end he will use those gifts to accomplish great things. So in The Hobbit we have hints at the beginning about how the story will end.

Homily for Baptism of Lord - Entering The Big Story

1/12/2014

0 Comments

 
Before talking about the Baptism of Jesus in relation to the Big Story, I would like to address a couple of common objections to our story. Some people say it is too complicated - all those prophets, wars, nations and dates. But then comes the second objection, "Your story is too childlike and simplistic."  Both objections contain truth.

Homilia para Bautismo del Señor - Entrando la Gran Historia

1/12/2014

0 Comments

 
Antes de hablar del Bautismo de Jesus en relacion a la Gran Historia, me gustaria mencionar un par de dudas a nuestra Historia. Algunos dicen que es demasiado complicada - todos los profetas, guerras, naciones y fechas. Pero, despues, viene la segunda objeccion, "Tu Historia es demasiado sencilla."  Las dos objecciones tienen verdad.

Homily for New Year (Audio File)

1/2/2014

One time I was in foul mood. People had let me down. Filled with anger, justified anger, I imagined they had done it on purpose. I thought, "Well, I will just have to do it myself, but I want them to see the extra burden they caused me."  My pity party continued with full steam when I picked up a small booklet.
