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

OUT OF FASHION
This reflection is based on John 1:29-34.
Humility seems to have gone out of fashion these days. Just look around and listen to all the talk around you. It seems to me that on any given day, brashness trumps humility. Somehow the louder you speak, the more confident you come across, the more blatantly you flaunt your power, the more people–in spite of themselves–sit up and listen.
So today’s portrait of John the Baptist is, frankly speaking, quite astonishing.

THE GOD WHO WAITS IN LINE
This homily is based on Matthew 3:13-17 on the Feast of the Baptism of our Lord.
John the Baptist, as well as his disciples, must have been bewildered by Jesus’ request for baptism. “Baptize him?”
But John saw that Jesus was serious about his request, and though he did not understand, he decided to trust Jesus, going ahead to baptize him even if he knew that between the two of them, it should be him getting baptized by Jesus.
