Football wrapped up with the Super Bowl last Sunday, Valentine flowers are wilting, high school state tournament games continue, and the forty days of Lent are upon us.

“Whoever says to a brother, ‘Raqa’ shall be answerable to the Sanhedrin.” Our gospel passage from Matthew uses a Hebrew/Greek word transliterated into English, meaning: “useless, empty or of no value.” Within the Jewish culture at the time of Jesus the strong connotation of “Raqa” constituted a serious offense. A brief story from the Talmud illustrates the nature of the seriousness of “raqa.”

Eternal Rest - Lenten Study begins Feb. 23rd We all have very real questions about death. What happens when we die? What does Scripture teach about death? How do we prepare for the life to come? Eternal Rest is a four-part film series that examines death, the afterlife, and the powerful reality around the sacrament that ushers us into eternal life.

John testified further, I saw the Spirit come down like a dove from heaven and remain upon him. I did not know him but the one who sent me to baptize with water told me, ‘On whomever you see the Spirit come down and remain, he is the one who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.’ Now I have seen and testified that he is the Son of God.”

Though it was well over twenty years ago I remember a certain fall day, leaves changing colors, winds calm, sky clear blue, the water of the Lil Sioux River gently flowing, the occasional strokes of our paddles, silence and intermittent conversation shared between two friends.

Fifty seven years ago a cartoon premiered two weeks before Christmas without much fanfare or confidence it would be viewed. A cast of children, a sarcastic dog, pitiful tree and a jazz soundtrack, the show became a beloved annual Christmas staple. Innocence, doubt, kindness, meanness, fragility, hope, and light, all mixed together as a display of our humanity approaching Christmas.

Fourteen years ago, six months into a new parish assignment, the early Christmas Eve Mass was one to remember. A predicted snowstorm swelled up on the afternoon of the 24th, high winds and an accumulation of snow.

Guadete Sunday, Latin for “rejoice.” Advent is a time of preparation and reflection, patience and anticipation. As we light the third candle—rose colored—we are reminded that God who loves us all is still in charge, and we await his coming not in fear, but in joy.
