Two notes sound forcefully in today's scriptures: forgiveness and faith . David, the greatest human king of Israel, sinned greatly. The Lord forgave him because of his sincere faith . The gospel fulfilled that scene. A woman, known to be a sinner, received Jesus' forgiveness because her great love fueled her faith . Jesus recognized it and said to her: "Your faith ...http://findfruit.blogspot.com/2013/06/sunday-word-16-jun-2013.html
Francis, Ratzinger and the Pelagianism Risk CLERICAL WHISPERS - June 15, 2013 ... media's attention, the summary of the conversation which took place between Francis and CLAR's clerics last 6 June, contains some interesting passages relating to today's Church. CLAR's leaders made it clear they had nothing to do with the publication of the text, which is essentially a reconstruction of what was said, based on participants' recollections. The two concerns the Pope apparently expressed in his conversation with Latin American clerics are to do ...http://clericalwhispers.blogspot.com/2013/06/francis-ratzinger-and-pelagianism-risk.html

It is the essence of what it mean to have become a martyr for Jesus Christ. I suggest this today: read each of the Beatitudes found in the gospel reading highlighted above. Consider, if you will, what is magnanimous about each fo those descriptions of the life of a true believer, a loyal follower. Then, like Pope Francis and his session with the students, face this particular question: what is it that I ...http://prayeronthehill.blogspot.com/2013/06/tuesday-tenth-week-of-ordinary-time.html

In his homily for morning Mass at the Casa Santa Marta residence, a summary of which was released by Vatican Radio, the Pope said that there are "three types of Christians in the Church; sinners, the corrupt and saints." It "is not necessary to talk too much" about sinners, "because we all are". We know all about ourselves "inside and out and we know what a sinner is.

Reflection on the Daily Gospel 29 May 2013 DAILY PRAYERS AND MEDITATIONS - May 29, 2013 There is a lot to unpack in the scripture today, but perhaps His summary in the Gospel passage say it all. "Rather, whoever wishes to be great among you will be your servant; whoever wishes to be first among you will be the slave of all. For the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many." Becoming a servant is not just an act of servitude, but rather a way of life. Once we understand that all we do should be ...http://prayersandmeditations.com/2013/05/29/reflection-on-the-daily-gospel-29-may-2013/

"The Sacrament of Pastoral Customs" – Pope: When Church Closes Doors, "Jesus Is Indignant" WHISPERS IN THE LOGGIA - May 25, 2013 Per the Vatican Radio summary, this Saturday morning's Francis-preach: Today's Gospel tells us that Jesus rebukes the disciples who seek to remove children that people bring to the Lord to bless. "Jesus embraces them, kisses them, touches them, all of them. It tires Jesus and his disciples "want it to stop". Jesus is indignant: "Jesus got angry, sometimes." And he says: "Let them come to me, do not hinder them. For the Kingdom of God belongs ...http://whispersintheloggia.blogspot.com/2013/05/pope-when-church-tries-to-close-doors.html

For another, I can feel, in this text, how Christopher West has matured and grown as a writer, speaker, and man. When I first started listening to him and reading his work, he had one or two kids. Now he has five and he's been through some fire and brimstone for his work. You can feel that in this work. While it is very powerful, it steps back from some of the emotion I've read in his writing before.
