A sermon on the call of Samuel (I Sam. chapter 3) and our call to honesty and to tell our leaders the truth--especially when it's not what they want to hear.

God's love, mercy and forgiveness transforms and heals us. Share the good news!

Jesus looks to God for his mission and shows us how to say "no" to the trap of pleasing everyone else.

Jesus casts a demon out of a man in a synagogue. We have our own "demons" but Jesus can cast them out, too.

There were also many women who followed Jesus and were his disciples in the same way as the "12 apostles"--but their stories and contributions were minimized during the process of the canonization of the Holy Bible and by early Gospel writers. Today, I lift up the voice and experience of Mary from Magdal/Migdal.

Jesus calls... You!
