    The Resolve of Love

    In his Gospel reflection for Palm Sunday, Tony Crescio ( @anthonycrescio ) focuses on the two figures of Judas and Peter. As he explains, these two figures are tragic in their own ways, yet have much to teach us about what we have been created for as creatures created in God's image. Most basically, life is not about us, and when we live as though it were we will necessarily lose ourselves and our lives will go to pieces.

    The Weeping Savior

    In his Gospel reflection for the 5th Sunday of Lent, Tony Crescio ( @anthonycrescio ) focuses on what the exile experience of the People of Israel has to teach us about life this side of eternity. Just as the People of Israel experienced a spiritual death in being exiled, so too sin results in the spiritual death of the soul and, ultimately, bodily death that brings our time in this life to an end. But God did not create us for death. And the tears of Our Savior manifest just how much God loves life, and is willing to do anything to ensure that we have the life He created us for.

    Hearing to See

    In this reflection on the 4th Sunday of Lent, Laetare Sunday, Tony Crescio ( @anthonycrescio ) highlights the central importance of attentive listening in the Christian life. Only when we heed Christ's call to us do we become fully enlivened and allow His life to permeate us and spill over into the world, which is a great cause for rejoicing.

    A Thirst Quenching Life

    In this reflection for the 3rd Sunday of Lent, Tony Crescio ( @anthonycrescio ) examines Jesus' encounter with the Samaritan woman. As Tony explains, in this encounter, Jesus teaches us that it is only by being honest about our sinfulness that we can be healed from it and enter more deeply into relationship with God. When we do, we become, as Jesus told the Samaritan woman, springs of living water, gushing up to eternal life.

    A Transforming Journey

    In this reflection for the 2nd Sunday of Lent, Tony Crescio ( @anthonycrescio ) explores the call of Abram, contrasting it with the episodes of the Fall and the Tower of Babel. Whereas our first parents and the people of Babel intentionally turned away from God in pride, Abram humbly obeys the call of God. In this Abram sets out on journey wherein he is slowly transformed by growing in relationship with God. We too are called to such a journey, and the end of this journey is glimpsed in the transfiguration of Christ we witness in today's Gospel.

    Raising the Fallen

    In this reflection for the 1st Sunday of Lent, Tony Crescio (@anthonycrescio) discusses the temptations of Adam and Eve in the Garden in the revelatory light of Christ's temptation in the desert. As Tony explains, by assuming our human nature, Christ takes up the human story in a corrective mode such that through His life, we are drawn back up into the life of God. In this way, the Incarnate Son repairs the human and divine relationship fractured in the Fall.

    The Fabric of Happiness

    Friends, on this 6th Sunday of Ordinary Time, Jesus reveals to us the plan which God has for the human creature. As Tony Crescio (@anthonycrescio) explains, Jesus does this by revealing to us more details as to how to live a fully human life, and thereby pursue ultimate happiness. Jesus isn’t merely suggesting an ethical paradigm, as Divine Lawgiver, he is making a statement of reality. And today, Jesus tells us that it is only by living in accordance with this reality that we can lead full and truly happy lives.
