RCL Reflection, 2nd Sunday of Advent, Year C, Dec. 9, 2018
In order to be good stewards of the gospel—and of our time, talents, and resources—we need to look for the teacher and the helpers. We need to be mentored in the life of faith and discipleship. We light the candle of peace and look for the light to come. (Photo: Susanne Nilsson, Creative Commons)
Narrative Lectionary Reflection for the Seventh Sunday of Easter, Year Three, May 28, 2017
Why is it that we humans always seem to prefer the divide and conquer method in life?
