Fr. Glenn: Venturing
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
Now we’re deep into the Easter season which, of course, celebrates the resurrection of Jesus after His crucifixion, thereby (in Christian theology) opening the way to an unending and joyful spiritual life. It is, in fact, the essential reason that we become Christian, for as St. Paul writes: “… if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain… If for this life only we have hoped in Christ, we are of all men most to be pitied.” (1 Corinthians 15:14,19) And as we heard in the Mass opening prayer on May 4: “… [we] rejoicing now in the restored glory of Read More

The lessons for this Third Sunday in Easter include the conversion of Paul in Acts 9, and the restitution of Peter to grace in John 21. A bit from the Book of Revelation 5 helps to remind us of who this Jesus is. And Psalm 30, a text Saul would have known well, cries out for God’s Grace.
First we go to the Road to Damascus, where the chief persecutor of Jesus’ followers, a learned scribe by Read More
