Monday of Septuagesima Sunday – Mark 6:7-13

Last updated on: February 1, 2015 at 9:30 pm By Fr. Charles Erlandson

Mark 6:7-13 In this passage Jesus the Great Master sends out His disciples, in particular the 12, to go and be His presence in the world. Jesus knows that in His human form He is limited in space: He can only be in one place at a time. He also knows that His time is limited, for He knows the terrible mission He is on. Therefore, in keeping with the Kingdom parables He tells, He insures that His Kingdom will... Read more

Joy

Last updated on: February 26, 2018 at 5:44 pm By Fr. Charles Erlandson

Joy – Philippians 4:4-23 Rejoice – for the Lord is at hand! I like to think of myself as saying this in a kind of John the Baptist voice (a la “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand”), only with joy instead of penitence. Now that the light of Christmas has passed to Epiphany and December has turned to January and soon February, it is easy to forget the lessons of Christmas. Do you remember the joy of... Read more

Wednesday of Epiphany 3 – Philippians 2:19-30

Last updated on: January 27, 2015 at 7:20 pm By Fr. Charles Erlandson

Philippians 2:19-30 I want to be in one of St. Paul’s churches! I want to be in a church where joy in Christ is found. I want to be in a church where members consider themselves ministers of the mysteries of God and who boldly assert that, “For me to live is Christ!” I want to be in a church where members lay down their lives for the good of others and make the choice to sacrifice their own good...

Fear and Trembling

Last updated on: February 26, 2018 at 4:40 pm By Fr. Charles Erlandson

Fear and Trembling – Philippians 2:12-18 There is probably no better description of the truth both of God’s sovereignty and grace and our responsibility to respond faithfully to this grace than Philippians 2:12-13. As I was growing up, my Dad often referred to this verse, and I wondered if it were his all-time favorite because he got a lot of mileage out of it. Even as a kid, I sort of understood why. In these 2 verses St. Paul says... Read more

Saturday of Epiphany 2 – Philippians 1:12-26

Last updated on: January 24, 2015 at 12:49 am By Fr. Charles Erlandson

Philippians 1:12-26 Every day we are faced with a multitude of choices, some small and some great. We often live a binary existence, having to make choices between two alternatives. Should I marry him or not? Should I take the new job and the risks involved? Keeping in mind that we just lived through Sanctity of Life Sunday, the most important choice we can make is a choice for life and not for death. But when faced with the choice... Read more

Friday Epiphany 2 – Philippians 1:1-11

Last updated on: January 22, 2015 at 11:22 pm By Fr. Charles Erlandson

Philippians 1:1-11 Among all of the other wonderful elements in The Lord of the Rings, it is perhaps a story more about fellowship than anything else. In fact, the second volume of the trilogy is called The Fellowship of the Ring. In that story, great fellowship takes place among many different kinds of creatures. If you know the story, you know that good wizards, men of old, elves, dwarves – and of course, the stay-at-home Hobbits – are all drawn... Read more

Thursday of Epiphany 2 – Ephesians 6

Last updated on: January 21, 2015 at 6:28 pm By Fr. Charles Erlandson

Ephesians 6 Have you ever gotten involved in something that suddenly revealed itself as being a lot more serious than you thought? For some, this happens in marriage, and they are like Jacob who thought he had married Rachel. But Behold! it was Leah! For Diedre Cobb, it was joining the Army Reserves and facing the difficult task of trying to explain why it took her 2 years to ask herself whether or not she believed in fighting wars. She...
