Sunday Gospel Reflections

Father and Annie look at the readings for the 6th Sunday in Ordinary Time in light of the upcoming season of Lent, which begins in just a few days.  And they explore what it means - what it looks like - to have the Law of God written on our hearts.

Father and Annie unpack the Jubilee themes that run through the first reading in Isaiah 58, and discuss how those themes frame what it means to be 'salt of the earth' and the 'light of the world.'

Fr. Hezekias and Annie discuss what is the "remnant" prophesied by the prophet Zephaniah, and then head to the Mount of Beatitudes to learn what Jesus actually meant when he said "blessed."

Father and Annie head to Zebulun and Naphtali and discuss why the people there are in darkness - and explore why these territories are so significant in the mission of Jesus to establish his kingdom as he begins his public ministry and gathers apostles.

When Jesus entered the Jordan, he met us there. Fr. Hezekias and Annie explore how the baptism of the Lord reveals our own calling to die with Christ and rise as lights to a world in darkness.
