    I don't think you are "unenthusiastic", you give beautiful homilies all the time. You are such a beautiful soul. I wanted to ask you to come to a conference where I know there will be people that need healing. I see you are going to Monterrey so I am sure you will be able to minister to people where you're going. Take good care and have a safe trip.

33rd Sunday The Economy of Salvation

Image
Salvation is a lived experience of God’s love! Experiencing this divine love in a very personal way transforms us. It frees us, it empowers us. This is the Good News of Jesus Christ. This love is given freely to all for the salvation of all. There is a catch to all of this. Because it is not just about getting God’s love. The real transformation, the real freedom occurs when WE give that love. Think of this like an economy...an economy works when there movement, buying and selling. Economies gets hurt when nobody buys, or everybody sells. The economy of salvation is Love given by God, love received by us, and love given to others by us. This brilliant parable captures this so well. First of all, know that the “talents” are not “talents” per se, but a form of currency. And a talent is a boat load of money.   Today we would say hundred of thousands of dollars. So we have a generous person the Master, giving his workers a boat load of mon...

Good Friday Homily: Which Voice do I listen to?

Image
There are so many voices yelling at us.  There are those voices from within our community & world that want demean us.  These voices say we are only worthy if we speak the correct language, vote a certain way; we are worthy if we have the correct amount of money, live in the right neighborhood.  Voices saying we are worthy by virtue of where we were born, by the color of our skin, worthy by what our citizenship status is or is not.  Voices that tell us we need to be the “correct” religion.  Yet.. There is one voice that says: You are worthy.  There are so many other voices that yell at us, telling us we need to have the most beautiful bodies, that we need to buy all the right things to be good; so many voices that yell at us that tell us how to act.  Voices that say we must have the best job that makes the most money, and we must devote all our hours to this job and ignore our spouses, our children, our friends  And there i...

2nd Advent - Finding our way in God's Love

Image
Many years ago a friend living in Texas came up to visit me in Fernley. This friend had been born and raised in the city. Anyway, I had asked him what he would like to do and he wanted to go geocaching. Okay, I thought it is March in Northern Nevada, fun! But we went, found a cache located near Lahontan Reservoir, and so we drove out there. I parked the car near the cache and the gps device told us the cache was about 500 feet away. I looked around and had a sense of where it would be, on this hillside. My friend became worried: worried that we would get lost. I said not a problem. What if we lose sight of the car? I looked around, it was Nevada sage, no tree for miles; and again we were only going 500 feet up a hill. I said we will be fine, we will never lose sight of the car and we won’t get lost. We didn’t. I have been lost in the wilderness once. It was scary. I was in Northern New Mexico, in a thick forest and it was an overcast day. I was by myself, and nobody knew where I was, a...
