Give Away What You’ve Been Given
Generosity is a trait universally admired. Yet how do we tap into the genuine, dynamic spirit of giving? How do we become a gift to others, when human nature bids us to hold on to whatever we have? From Poverty to Wealth Reflecting upon this question, I am reminded of a passage from the novel…

Be a Beggar for the Word
Fr. Brian Pierce OP tells the story of a young Dominican friar, Jorge, who was a missionary in the state of Tabasco in Mexico. Every morning while walking to breakfast from the house he slept in to one where he was to eat, he noticed that an old man was seated with a Bible in…

The Life of Discipleship
Today the Church commemorates St Dominic, the founder of the Dominican Order popularly known as Order of Preachers. Dominic was a great preacher and pious religious priest who led many souls to piety and to religious life. My reflection comes from the readings suggested for today’s Memorial (1 Cor 2:1-10; Ps 96:1-2a, 2b-3, 7-8a, 10;…

Should we choose a life of indifference and recklessness, or take the path of loyalty and discipline with…

Touch Only the Tassel on His Cloak
When I read the Gospel of today, I continue to wonder why the people at Gennesaret wanted to touch only the tassel of Jesus’ clothing. I read a commentary that referred to such desire as a “pious humility.” Indeed, the people were humble to have asked for only a “touch” just like the hemorrhaging woman…

Saint Alphonsus Liguori: A Saint for All Times
Saints are trailblazers, and so is the one we celebrate today—Saint Alphonsus Liguori. It isn’t because they walk paths unknown. Instead, their lives are silent yet audacious witnesses of the life of Christ in everyday life. Their embrace of grace and its silent nudges is so rooted (incarnate) that it becomes the rose of anointed…

... Psalm 33vs22—Chidi O. Chidi I waited patiently for the Lord; he inclined to me and heard my cry. He drew me up from the desolate pit, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure. He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God—Psalm 40:1-3
