Prophets and Parables

The texts from the Roman Catholic Lectionary today use parables and the episode of the Golden Calf to explain our relationship to God.


A Time to Reflect


The Reading from Exodus presents the The Golden Calf and The Atonement.


Psalm 106 recites from Israel’s history eight instances of sin, judgment, and forgiveness.


In the Gospel of Matthew Jesus teaches the Parable of the Mustard Seed, the Parable of the Yeast, and the Use of Parables.


The Daily Reflection by Mike Cherney reflects on Auxiliary Bishop of Milwaukee, Richard Sklba comments about finding ourselves caught in a moment in history not of our choosing, and with a task not always to our liking, but we must find God in those very circumstances, or we won’t find God at all… for it is the only moment we have.



Don Schwager quotes “A small seed produces a great tree,” by John Chrysostom (347-407 AD).


Friar Jude Winkler reflects on the texts of today.


Fr. Richard Rohr, OFM, comments on Perfectionism: The Enemy of Goodness and Grace.


We pursue our journey and seek to be open to the guidance of the Holy Spirit that may come to us through the words and actions of our fellow travellers.
