DEVOTIONS
Reading Luke’s account of Jesus’ life is quite humbling.  Luke clearly wants us to know how dependent Jesus was on prayer.
He was praying at his baptism when the Father’s voice spoke from heaven (3:21).
He prayed all night before choosing the Twelve (6:12).

DEVOTIONS
It’s like Christmas in October.  Only better.
Christmas celebrations, as we all know and complain, often lost the origin and meaning.  We can only blame ourselves.  The Church itself began to overemphasize Christmas long before modern culture commercialized it.

DEVOTIONS
Are you kidding me?  Did Jesus really say that?
Reading through the gospels is giving me moments like that almost every day.  But this week’s reading startled me with a Jesus-saying that I could almost swear has been added to the Bible since the last time I read it.
