Matthew 16:13-20
There’s a spiritual practice called Lectio Divina. It’s a fancy Latin word for reading and engaging and letting the scriptures speak to you. And what does it say to you? The approach is really studying what this scripture is about…

Matthew 15: 10-28
A couple of weeks ago a member of our parish came up to me and said, “George, I’ve really been pondering and thinking about what you said in that homily a couple of months ago.” I remember turning and saying, “What homily, and what did I say?”…

Matthew 13:31-33, 44-52
I’m asked oftentimes by folks here at St. Paul’s about things that we do on Sunday in the liturgy. Why do we do this prayer? What’s the meaning of this? I want to address that today. I want to talk about what we refer to as the Eucharistic Prayer…

Matthew 10:24-39
In the last newsletter article I had written an article about some books that I read over the last month or two and just wanted to share those with you as I was setting the theme of summer reading and three books I had read. I wanted to share some thoughts on that in connection to today’s gospel…

John 20:19-23
Happy Pentecost Sunday. Some of you wore red; I wore yellow – the only clean shirt I could find, but I get to wear this red so that’s my color today. But today is Pentecost Sunday and it’s really a day that we celebrate what’s traditionally called the birth of the church…

Acts 17:22-31, John 14:15-21

Matthew 28:1-10

John 4:5-42
A reading from the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to John. I’d like to invite you to be seated – not because the Gospel’s long, but what I’d like to do is a little bit different than I usually do. I’d like to read the Gospel reading and as we’re reading it, I’d like to share some thoughts…

Matthew 4:1-11
