    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...

    Keys for a Fisherman
    Jesus asks the most important question in the Gospel about as far from Jerusalem as he ever walks, in front of a rock face covered with other people's gods. And the man who answers correctly is given,...

    The Queen Who Called Herself a Servant
    Eight days after the Assumption, the Church gives Mary the title of queen. It is a risky word to use on the very day the Gospel dismantles every human appetite for rank. Unless, of course, her queensh...

    What Everything Hangs On
    There are six hundred and thirteen commandments in the law of Moses, and the lawyer who steps forward today knows every one of them. His question is built as a trap. Jesus turns it into the shortest s...

    The Robe You Did Not Sew
    A wedding is the least threatening thing God could have compared his kingdom to, and it is still turned down. In today's parable, the refusals are not dramatic; they are errands. And the only guest pu...

    Because I Am Good
    There is a kind of accounting that looks like fairness and is only arithmetic. Today the Lord takes the ledger out of our hands, and the first reading tells us why: before he is an employer, he is a s...

    Who Then Can Be Saved?
    We like to hear the camel's saying as a warning aimed at other people, the ones with real money. Today's first reading closes that exit. The prince of Tyre was not condemned for owning gold; he was co...
