In this reflection, Deacon Steve Sarnecki shares how God is telling each of us that he has made us on purpose, with a purpose, and that the gifts he gives to us are never meant to be hoarded or hidden. Instead, God intends and expects us to take these gifts, these “talents”, and share them with the world.

Deacon Steve Sarnecki shares that instead of focusing on all of the things we can and can’t do, and whether or not our friends and family are following the commandments, we should do the one simple thing that Jesus asks of us: love God and love our neighbor.

All of creation can show us something about God, but every single human has His image stamped into them. Whether they know it or not, and whether they like it or not, every human is made in the image of God. Even mean people. Even angry people. Even people who don’t like us. They all belong to God. Nothing can change that. And because we are made in his image, he has stamped us with His best quality: the ability to love and be loved by others. In this reflection, Kristen Fisher of Ablaze Family Ministries shows us how we are made in God’s image, and how every human belongs to Him in a very special way.

This week’s readings are really uncomfortable. The scriptures uses vivid imagery to tell us the story of how God’s people have rejected him and his messengers. In this reflection Javier Plumey shows how the Lord uses the image of a vineyard to remind us that we have turned away from God, rejected the message of his messengers, even to the point of killing his own son, and that despite this God loves us and shows us the path back to him.

Do you love Christmas? Kristen certainly does. And it’s not just because of the music, the celebrations, and the gifts. But it’s because it’s a reminder that God loved us so much that he sent his son to be with us, to be one of us, so that we may have eternal life through Him. This family scripture reflection for the 26th week of Ordinary Time helps us to see how much God loves us, and then when we follow Him we can learn from him, and learn how to love others.

This reflection is for the 25th Sunday in Ordinary Time, 2020. Have you ever said the words “that’s not fair”? Welcome to the human race. Sometimes others get what we think we deserve. Other times, it seems like everyone else is getting to enjoy something good and we’re missing out. These experiences can lead to anger, and this anger can lead to (among other things) jealousy. This jealousy can often make us overlook what we’ve been given ourselves. In this family scripture reflection, Kristen Fisher shares how reflecting on God’s goodness and ridiculous generosity helps us to put aside feelings of jealousy and the fear that we are missing out.
