Choose Wisely in All Life Decisions Including Marriage (Mt 25:14-30)

The readings today, encourage us to use all our time, talent, and treasure for the Lord. All we have God has given to us for the use of his kingdom. Life is filled with decisions. Decisions determine how our time talents and treasures are applied to this purpose. We are accountable at the end of time for how we used it.

Time is Precious, Use It Wisely (Mt 25:1-13)

Jesus came to save us, so that we may convert and be transformed so as to meet him either at the end of our life, or at his second coming. The process of holiness, or transformation into Christ likeness, requires time. The wise person uses every moment we have to things that help that transformation into Christ-likeness, so that we may be United with him in eternity.

Jesus Needs Good Leaders (Mt 23:1-12)

Jesus is using the bad leaders of his day to teach what a good leader in the church, and the world should be. But today’s Gospel is more than simply Jesus giving us business principles, He is pleading for our help, for all of us to live up to our baptismal call to be good leaders, to be salt and leaven and to bring His light to the world.

The Key to Interpret Difficult Passages in Old Testament (Mt 22:34-40)

In the gospel today, Jesus gives us the key to interpret the difficult passages of the Old Testament and the church helps us to interpret it, so as to help us not use scripture to do violence and for hate.

The Mass is an Opportunity to Give to God What is God’s (Mt 22:15-21)

Jesus says, give to Caesar what is Caesars and to God what is God’s.  Since we are made in the image and likeness of God, we belong to Him, the Mass is an opportunity for us to give ourselves to God through Jesus Christ.  He makes of us a perfect offering to God the Father.
