Click here to read John Pearring’s reflection from February 1, 2025. Here's an excerpt:
The more we practice that awareness of his presence, confirmed in the Eucharist, comforting in the Spirit, and formed in our heart by the Father, the more we will be ready when our time comes, and we cross the threshold from squalls to the beatific vision and immortal life with our friends, families, and see Jesus face to face.
John Pearring’s reflections: He said to them, “Ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest." (Luke 10:2)
Faith is another form of knowledge
A knowledge whose truth is based on evidence given by God
By Steve Hall

Fatalism is not an option for the person of faith. Confidence is. Particularly the confidence that nothing, absolutely nothing, happens by chance. God is involved, no matter what.
Steve Hall's reflections: For our knowledge is imperfect and our prophecy is imperfect; but when the perfect comes, the imperfect will pass away. (1 Corinthians 13:9)
His disciples will collaborate with Him
He appointed Twelve, whom he also named Apostles (Mk 3:14)
By MHB-M
Click here to read MHB-M’s reflection from February 1, 2025. Here's an excerpt:
“This is how it is with the Kingdom of God; it is as if a man were to scatter seed on the land and would sleep and rise night and day and the seed would sprout and grow, he knows not how. Of its own accord the land yields fruit, first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear. And when the grain is ripe, he wields the sickle at once, for the harvest has come” Mark 4:26-34.
MHB-M’s reflections: As the Lord told Moses, “No one can see my face and live” (Exod 33:20).
