Reconciliation is a two-way process that requires both parties, in relation to their share of wrongdoing, to admit guilt. Second, in relation to the hurt and harm each has caused, to apologize to the other. And third, in relation to their relationship, to desire to renew the friendship, although, at times, in a different form.

Jesus, the Prince of Peace.  Our First Reading from the Book of Zechariah foretells the coming of the Prince of Peace, “See, your king shall come to you; a just savior is he, meek, and riding on an ass… the warrior’s bow shall be banished, and he shall proclaim peace to the nations” (Zech 9:9-10). Unlike the last kings of Israel who were military leaders who slew their enemies, the awaited-for Messiah will be meek and humble, proclaiming an end to violence and war.

                    [Summary] => 
Our Gospel today is the 24th Sunday in Ordinary Time. It is quite a long one. I just hope that I have enough space to write my thoughts or my comments about this scripture reading which is “The Parable of the Lost Son.” You can read it in Luke 15:1-32.

                    [Summary] => 
Our Gospel today is again another lesson in life that our Lord Jesus Christ wants all of us to know by heart and hopefully learn from it, especially those amongst us who are rich and so blessed with material goods. It is the Parable of the Rich Fool and you can read it in Luke 12:13-21.
