Good morning, happy Monday, many blessings, and delighted Holy Cross Day. 

Celebrated ‪on September 14th‬, Holy Cross day is a day which honors and commemorates the sacrifice that Jesus Christ made on the cross for our salvific liberation. It is from this festivity that our church takes its name. The Holyrood or Holy Rood is a Christian relic alleged to be part of the True Cross on which Jesus died. The word derives from the Old English rood, meaning a pole and the cross, via Middle English, or the Scots haly ruid ("holy cross").

Good morning, happy Friday, and many blessings.

 

Today’s Gospel (Luke 6:39-42) gives us some of the passages of the discourse which Jesus pronounced on the plain after having spent the night in prayer and after He had called the twelve to be His apostles. Many of the sayings in this discourse had already been pronounced on other occasions, but Luke, imitating Matthew, puts them together in this Sermon on the Plain.

Good morning, happy Monday, and many blessings.

 

The Gospel today (Luke 6:6-11) should be seen in the context of the last sentence of Saturday’s gospel, ‘The Son of Man’ is master of the Sabbath.

 

Today we have the story of how Jesus has his priorities right. He wonderfully restored a withered hand to normality. The scribes and Pharisees are caught up with protocol and structures of the Law and miss the point completely of the need of someone who is handicapped.

 

A change of liberation and joy

Good morning, happy Friday, and many blessings.

 

In today’s gospel (Luke 5:33-39) Jesus ran into a problem when He began His ministry almost 2000 years ago. At the very outset of what he was trying to do, he received criticism for trying to do things differently, for trying to change things. Time after time, the Jewish leaders and religious people of that day questioned Jesus, and even condemned Him, for trying to do something new. We see one of these incidents in todays’ story and Jesus responds to their questioning with a parable

Jesus' goal is to accept excluded people

Today we begin the meditation on the Gospel of Luke, which will extend three months until the end of the liturgical year. Today’s Gospel (Luke 4:16-30) speaks about Jesus’ visit to Nazareth and the presentation of His program to the people of the synagogue. At first the people were amazed. But immediately, when they became aware that Jesus wanted to accept all, without excluding anyone, people rebelled and wanted to kill Him.

Ministry at the time of Coronavirus (Covid 19): Prevent, cure and accompany

Now we have to shape what some have started calling; The Church at Home. Although I keep asking myself; What do those who do not have a home do? For this reason, at the same time, I am declaring today in our Holyrood Church a Lenten day of prayer, fasting and reading the Bible in the Time of the Coronavirus.
