In the gospel,…
Today’s first reading is from Isaiah when the people return from Babylonian exile. The Lord speaks of renewing and rebuilding and that He is with them always. In the gospel, Jesus tells us about the relationship between Him and the Father. He says “I do not seek my own will but the will of the…
OT means ordinary time. Today David is chosen by God to be king. He is a “ruddy youth”. That term makes me smile. Then the Bible says “from that day on, the Spirit of the LORD rushed upon David” Oh what a blessing to have the Spirit with you. Once baptized, the Spirit does remain…
