This Sunday’s refersh is gotten from the books of: Jeremiah 30:1-2,12-15, 18-22; Psalm 102; Matthew 14:22-36 Our First Reading of today has two parts. In the first part, the Lord described how irredeemable the situation of the Israelites was. He said that their wound was incurable, their injury was past healing, their pain could not be treated, and no medicine would make them well again. Then in the second part, the Lord said that He would do the impossible. He would show them mercy, He would restore, increase and rebuild them. They would come again with joy and thanksgiving. The…

Vampire: I know you do not know that I am a vampire, Cute eagle of my life. When you coo your dream-like songs, And your painted talons cut my succulent arms, Little do you know that you unlock the blood bank, That irrigates the parched garden of my groin. Sea Nymph: I know you do not know that I’m a sea billow, Proud captain of my heart. When you throw your magical nets, And your honey-tipped fishing rod dig my aquatic depths. Little do you know that you draw my enchanted waters, To the tender beaches of your loins. Poem…
This Sunday’s refresh is based on the following readings: Jeremiah 11:18-20; Psalm 7; John 7:40-52. In the First Reading of today, Jeremiah narrates how he was in the midst of serious danger and he knew nothing. He was naive and unsuspecting until the Lord opened his eyes and revealed to him the danger and malicious conspiracy around him. Jeremiah couldn’t believe it. The Jewish people had prayed, hoped and longed for the Messiah. In today’s Gospel, the Messiah was right in front of them, the answer to their prayers, the fulfillment of God’s greatest promise to them but they couldn’t recognise…

This Sunday’s refresh is based on the following readings: Joshua 5:9-12; Psalm 34; 2 Corinthians 5:17-21; Luke 15:1-3, 11-32. Grace and peace be multiplied to you my dear brothers and sisters in the Lord. The Gospel of today is the very beautiful and familiar story of the prodigal son and the merciful father. This story has a lot to teach us about the merciful love of the Father, about the nature of sin, about the true meaning of freedom, about the malice of self-justification and judgment of others, about repentance. Implicit in this text is also a shadow of Jesus, the…
HOLY HUMOUR Coming or Going? On the way home from the Ash Wednesday service a young boy asked his mother, “Is it true, Mommy, that we are made of dust?” “Yes, darling.” “And do we go back to dust again when we die?” “Yes, dear.” “Wow!” said the boy. “When I said my prayers last night and looked under the bed, I found someone who is either coming or going!” Sunday Quote. Men will wrangle for religion; write for it; fight for it; die for it; anything but live for it. C.C. Colton Religious Light Bulb Joke Q: How…
