Where is the holiest place on earth? The womb! Of all of the places on earth, God chose to dwell in the womb of Mary. This gives us great reverence for the dignity of human life in the womb and for the dignity of all women. But the “womb” is also a way of describing the spiritual life, according to St. Maximus the Confessor.…

This week’s reading from St. James offers a stark warning to the rich about the fleeting nature of wealth, while the Gospel contains harsh admonitions about sin, with Jesus encouraging the removal of anything that causes sin, even if that means drastic measures.

The readings today call us: Choose this day whom you will serve? This choice cannot be ala carte - picking and choosing what we want and rejecting what we don’t want. Because everything Scripture teaches connects back to Jesus. It is personal. We are choosing or rejecting him. This is important when we look at many of the “issues” of our day around…
