It has been a long time since I’ve posted anything to this blog.
Initially, I began this blog when I was pastor of The Church of St. Luke in Rancho San Diego, CA. I originally focused on the Liturgy of Word, at Mass, by discussing and writing reflections on the Sunday Gospels. I wanted to help people experience the Lord’s presence through the Liturgy of the Word. That was a lot of work. Now that I’m retired, I want to help people experience the Lord’s presence in all parts of the Mass.
I’m also committed to helping us make the Mass central to our lives. I pray that this blog will help people allow God to touch their hearts and souls, through the Mass, and help them respond by living their lives as conscious, active, and purposeful disciples whose discipleship is centered on the Mass.
Another problem that I had when I was blogging before was that I got so much spam in the comments that I became totally frustrated. I’m hoping to find a spam filter that will help even if it does cost money.
I’ve reposted all of the previous reflections. You can find them under the menu item Scripture Reflections. I did the best I could to list them in an order that could be found. I may continue writing reflections even though they are a lot of work. I believe it will be helpful to people who want to understand the context of the Scripture stories to better understand how the teachings touch into our modern lives.
Also, I’ve written a book on the Mass. It emphasizes experiencing the Lord’s presence in the Mass and responding with conscious, active discipleship in the small moments of our day-to-day lives. That way, the Mass is central to our spiritual and active lives. The book is available on Amazon. I may unapologetically promote this book on my blog. There is a link below.
