HOW FAST WOULD YOU RUN?

This homily is based on John 20:1-9.

There’s a lot of running that goes on at Easter. Every single account of that first Easter morning reports it. In today’s Gospel, Mary Magdalene discovers the stone rolled away from the tomb, and immediately she runs to Simon Peter, who, upon hearing her report, along with the beloved disciple, makes a run for the Lord’s burial place.

BELIEVING IS A PROCESS

nicodemusThis homily is based on John 3:14-21.

The Gospel reading today has one of the most beautiful lines ever written:

“For God so loved the world
that He gave His only Son,
so that everyone who believes in Him
might not perish
but might have eternal life.”

IS YOUR LIFE ON eBAY?

This homily is based on John 2:13-25 for the Third Sunday of Lent.

imageI’ve never been a user of eBay, but I’m fascinated by how it exemplifies the way technology is changing a lot of things in our lives–in this case, the way we buy and sell.

Think about it: If you have anything you’d like to sell–whether new or secondhand–you can do it without leaving the comfort of your living room. Gone are the days of door-to-door salesmanship! All you have to do is post the item online, indicate your asking price, and wait for buyers. If you wish, you can even conduct an online auction and go for the highest online bidder.
