Fr. Scott Steinkerchner, OP

Fr. Scott reflects on the astonishing thing Jesus did: bringing Jew and Gentile together into one Church where everyone has a place.

We look closely at the original parable of the vineyard in Isaiah and how Jesus shifts it in the Gospels.

Everything passes away. Vanity of vanities. So why does today still matter?

Is there something about faith you don't understand yet? Don't throw it away. Hold it in your heart.

Life hands us suffering, and solidarity with others means we take on even more. The question is what we reflect back: the suffering itself, or the sure knowledge that God is overcoming it and saving the world through it?

Mary stood at the foot of the cross and watched her son brutally executed, and we too will know sorrow.
