The Latest news from St Benedict's
Who do you say that I am?
During our daily routines, let us find moments of stillness where we can listen to Jesus asking us, “Who do you say that I am?”
Have an open mind
Our readings this Sunday have that energy, that sense of openness, of being set free! The Prophet Isaiah! Courage; Don’t be afraid; Leap like a deer; “Ears be unsealed; Tongues Sing for joy!” “Eyes, Be opened’.
When prejudgment turns into prejudice
It is true that instant condemnation comes easy to us and is then honed by endless repetition in our thoughts. But the way to deal with this is to try a bit of empathy, to think ourselves into what might be going on inside others, and not to just listen endlessly to our own self justifications.
Spiritual Nourishment
How we are being fed and nourished spiritually by the Word of God in Scripture and then culminating in receiving the body and blood of Jesus in Holy Communion.
Our need for prayers
We need to realize that we cannot do it “all by ourselves”. We need prayers and reflection, just as we need the grace of the sacraments.
Amos’ strong social justice message
Amos exhorted the people to repent, to return to God, and to obey the divine word. If they did this, they would be saved. If they did not, then Israel could expect divine judgement.
Faith is the door into human hearts
Failure and human weakness actually give God scope to act out his own purposes in our lives.
