Sr. Joan Chittister, OSB, has a weekly column on NCRCafe. I’m having a pretty brutal week with my workload, so rather than not post anything, I thought I’d point you to her Sept. 17 post. She is writing of the crisis that the worldwide Anglican Communion is facing these days. I leave you with the [...]

Anyone else out there just not able to get today’s Gospel reading? I do plan to look this up and see if I can figure it out, but on face value, this Gospel passage seems quite cryptic to me. On one hand Jesus says, “I tell you, make friends for yourselves with dishonest wealth, [...]

While I was on retreat last week, apparently some recent communications from Rome hit the mainstream media here in the States. The communications came from the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, our present Pope’s former office. From what I can tell, the folks there are trying to clarify the teaching of what it [...]

I’d like to thank one of this little “blog community,” DJC, for her idea and subsequent contribution of the post for today. And I’d like to reiterate the invitation to contact me if you are interested in contributing a post as a “guest blogger”, or even if you have an idea you’d like to see [...]

First, a small disclaimer…this will be funnier to some than to others, probably more so to Baden CSJ’s…not really an inside joke, but they’ll relate more to this than folks who have not visited our motherhouse.
Our 1954 building has in the front, several niches between the 3rd and 4th floors that were designed for the [...]

Aloha! Someone emailed to me this open letter in the Times Leader newspaper in NE PA. Seems a little scary to me…what do you think?
I’ve pasted the story here, but you can also find it on the web at: http://www.timesleader.com/opinion/letters/20070618_sister_regina_letter_ART.html.

Today is the feast of Corpus Christi - the body and blood of Christ. It’s a feast to celebrate the institution of the Holy Eucharist. We had a visiting priest today (a Capuchin) who had some interesting things to say which sparked some of my own reflections.

From today’s Gospel:
When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting,
the infant leaped in her womb,
and Elizabeth, filled with the Holy Spirit,

I’ll bet those of you who know about my love affair with my worship community were wondering when I’d get around to a post on our Pentecost celebration…
First, I have to tell you that this feast is one of two Sundays (Christ the King is the other) when Gesu cancels the 8:00 and 10:30 liturgies [...]
