Gospel Reflection for the Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Gospel Reflections / By Cormac Nicholson

In the sight of angels I will sing your praises, Lord (Psalm 137). Luke describes the call of Peter, James and John in vivid detail: the crowds pressing about Jesus as he instructs them on the shores of Lake Gennesaret.

Gospel Reflection for the Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Gospel Reflections / By Cormac Nicholson

I will sing of your salvation (Psalm 70). No one likes to be told and to have to listen to home truths! The people of Nazareth certainly didn’t, even when it was Truth itself speaking to them.

Gospel Reflection on the Baptism of the Lord

Gospel Reflections / By Cormac Nicholson

The Lord will bless his people with peace (Psalm 28). Luke tells us in his account of Jesus’ baptism that upon being baptized Jesus went and prayed. It is this description of the Lord’s baptism that theologians favour most because it is deeply contemplative.  While quietly at prayer, the Holy Spirit descended on Jesus as a …
