January 24, 2016 Epiphany 3 – You have to surrender if you want to win

Posted by Anna Rybat on
 August 31, 2016

What are the signs that this day is holy to the Lord? We celebrate the mass on Sundays because the commandments tell us to, saying “remember the Sabbath and keep it holy,” but is it holy only because God says so? I think that is a smashingly good reason, by the way, but it is […]

November 22, 2015 Christ the King Sunday – Grace is Everywhere, you have to look for Fear

You don’t have to look very far to find evidence that the world is ruled and organized and manipulated by fear. It doesn’t even have to be the news that you watch or listen to on the radio; it can be our popular entertainments, our talk shows et cetera. But mostly the news, we all […]

“Lord, to whom shall we go?” These are the words that the disciples use when some of those following Jesus abandon Him because the things he says are too hard. Jesus asks if they too wish to depart, if the ministry on earth will have to continue somewhere else, with perhaps other disciples since the […]

Sunday, February 9, 2014 Epiphany 5 – Two Phone Calls

Posted by Anna Rybat on
 February 27, 2014
  · No Comments

Two series of phone calls. Neither one was wholly expected, in fact both were completely out of the blue but they were both illustrative of the how the words of Isaiah can play out in the lives, and deaths, of the people we know and love. You should all know by now and if not, […]
