Lover of Souls: Scott Hahn Reflects on the 31st Sunday Our Lord is a lover of souls, the Liturgy shows us today. As we sing in today’s Psalm, He is slow to anger and compassionate toward all that He has made. In His mercy, our First Reading tells us, He…

No Favorites: Scott Hahn Reflects on the 13th Sunday Jesus draws a blunt picture in today’s Gospel. The Pharisee’s prayer is almost a parody of the thanksgiving psalms (see for example Psalms 30, 118). Instead of praising God for His mighty works, the Pharisee congratulates himself for his own deeds,…

Hope from on High: Scott Hahn Reflects on the 29th Sunday The Lord is our guardian, beside us at our right hand, interceding for us in all our spiritual battles. In today’s Psalm we’re told to lift our eyes to the mountains, that our help will come from Mount Zion…

Returning Thanks: Scott Hahn on the 28th Sunday A foreign leper is cleansed and in thanksgiving returns to offer homage to the God of Israel. We hear this same story in both the First Reading and Gospel today. There were many lepers in Israel in Elisha’s time, but only Naaman…

Prudent Stewards: Scott Hahn Reflects on the 25th Sunday The steward in today’s Gospel confronts the reality that he can’t go on living the way he has been. He is under judgment. He must give account for what he has done. The exploiters of the poor in today’s First Reading…

Seeking the Lost: Scott Hahn on the 24th Sunday The episode in today’s First Reading has been called “Israel’s original sin.” Freed from bondage, born as a people of God in the covenant at Sinai, Israel turned aside from His ways and fell to worshipping a golden calf. Moses implores…

Counting the Cost: Scott Hahn on the 23rd Sunday Like a king making ready for battle or a contractor about to build a tower, we have to count the cost as we set out to follow Jesus. Our Lord today is telling us up front the sacrifice it will take.…

To Go up Higher: Scott Hahn on the 22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time We come to the wedding banquet of heaven by way of humility and charity. This is the fatherly instruction we hear in today’s First Reading, and the message of today’s Gospel. Jesus is not talking simply about…
