For those who might have missed my message a couple of days ago my apologies for there being no Lectio Divina these past three days – due to a computer collapse. Thank you to those who emailed me saying you missed it!

Due to unforeseen circumstances we were not able to record a Homily Studio this week, so I offer again the 2022 Homily Studio for this same Sunday (the Twenty-Second in Ordinary Time).

A note to FFF Lectio Divina followers:

My apologies but due to a computer collapse I am not able to produce the Lectio Podcast until I get the problem sorted which I will do as soon as I return to NZ Wednesday of this week.

And well done to those who were more alert than me and noted that I gave yesterday’s Lectio Divina the date 1 December!

I had planned to continue the daily reflections through this Easter Week but I’ve already missed Easter Monday and Easter Tuesday and now it’s early morning on Easter Wednesday. Thank you to those who emailed with “where are you”, “what happened” and “I haven’t had a FFF email this week.”  Thank you for your enthusiasm and for keeping me on my toes.

Easter people ?

Easter people ?

There is a great old Easter greeting: “We are an Easter people” to which hearers respond “and Alleluia is our song!” I love this, and if I see you in this Easter Week, this Octave of Easter Sundays, you are welcome to greet me in this way. The reason I need to be reminded that we are an Easter people is that I too often reduce the Easter life we are offered to ideas and categories, words and formulas, customary ways of thinking and acting.

I understand Judas and I look forward to meeting him when I get to heaven.
He was not a bad man (that perfume could have been sold and the money given to the poor), but he often put his own interests first, (helping himself to the common purse) and wanted to be in the “in” group (what will you give me if I hand him over to you).

going where ?

There is a bad old joke that suggests that giving a homily is the art of twisting whatever the preacher wants to say to fit the scriptures.

Today’s palm branch procession, and reading of the passion of Jesus signals our move into Holy Week.
It is helpful to see these days before Easter as a week of retreat. While we continue our family and work routines, our focus is guided beyond.
In these days let us look together to Jesus.
