SUNDAYS FOR SKEPTICS
Back in the 90s Jesuit Communications broadcast a different kind of TV Sunday Mass back called “Sundays for Skeptics.”
We’re bringing a version of it back starting tomorrow. It’s not a substitute for attending an actual Mass, but what if offers are timely reflections about the Sunday readings.
So spread the word: SUNDAYS FOR SKEPTICS (and ASEPTICS!) on www.pinsoflight.net #sundays4skeptics #s4s

ONE WISE MAN’S DREAM
This reflection is based on Matthew 2:1-12 for the Epiphany of the Lord.
As the Gospel reminds us today, it was an angel that advised the Wise Men against reporting back to Herod. Contrary to the promise made to them, Herod was not at all interested in paying homage to the newborn King, but to eliminate him.

HOW DO YOU MOTHER GOD?
This homily is based on Luke 2:16-21 on the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God.
How do you mother God? Philosophers would be quick to point out that the question makes no sense. God would have no need for a mother: If God is infinite, He would have no beginning. And if He is all-powerful, He wouldn’t require anyone to nurse Him or raise Him.
Except, of course, that for us Christians, God decided to become human. And He didn’t just show up on the face of the earth as a self-reliant grown-up. God opted to go through the entire tedious process of becoming human so that He emerged in our world in much the same way each one of us does–as a helpless baby dependent on and in need of a mother.
