    The Taste We Are Used To
    There is a moment at some tables when a new bottle is opened with a certain pride, and everyone tastes it politely and then reaches back for the one they already know. Nobody is being disloyal; the mo...

    Nothing All Night, and Then His Word
    There is a particular tiredness that belongs to the end of a night shift. The work is finished, nothing came of it, and all that remains is to clean the tools and go home. That is the hour at which to...

    The Town That Wanted to Keep Him
    A single day in Capernaum holds a fever cooled at noon, a doorway crowded until after dark, and a village that has finally found what it had been waiting for. It is the kind of day any of us would wan...

    The Demon Knew His Name
    You can know a person's name, their address, their family history, and still be a stranger to them. Information is cheap; communion is not. On this Sabbath morning in a small lakeside town, the one vo...

    The Two Names That Emptied the Synagogue
    The morning began beautifully. A local boy stands up to read, reads well, speaks well, and the whole room is proud of him. Then he says two foreign names, and the same room wants him dead before lunch...

    Get Behind Me
    Jeremiah says something to God that a prophet is not supposed to say. "You have seduced me, and I was seduced; you seized me, and you prevailed." He has tried to resign. He decided to stop mentioning ...

    Because of the Guests
    Paul reminds the Corinthians that God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong. Today's Gospel puts two kinds of weakness side by side: a prisoner in chains who cannot be moved, and a king ...

    The Oil No One Can Lend You
    Paul tells the Corinthians that God chose to save through what looks like foolishness, and that the wisdom of the wise will be undone. Today's parable is about people who did the sensible thing and pe...

    Food at the Proper Time
    Paul opens his letter to a difficult community by thanking God for them. Before a single correction, he tells the Corinthians that no spiritual gift is lacking to them and that God is faithful. That i...

    We Build Their Tombs
    Paul reminds the Thessalonians that he worked night and day rather than be a burden to anyone, and that he did it so they would have something to imitate. His authority rests on a life that cost him s...

    Without Neglecting the Rest
    Paul writes to a community that has lost its footing. A rumour is going round that the day of the Lord has already come, and people are frightened. His answer is not a new revelation but a steadying h...

    Seen Under the Fig Tree
    The Apocalypse shows John a city coming down out of heaven, and its wall rests on twelve foundations bearing twelve names. Not twelve virtues, not twelve principles: twelve men, with faces and histori...
