All Reflections
The First "Last Supper"
It's the last time these friends share a meal together in John's Gospel — though only one person at the table seems to know it. But it isn't the supper you are thinking of. A reflection on John 12:1–8.
Prisoner 5659
Martha got theology. Mary got tears. Same words, same complaint — so why did Jesus answer them so differently? This story ends somewhere neither sister imagined. A reflection on John 11:28–44.
Me, M.D.
A few years ago I tried to get my diet and exercise together before I would even see a doctor about it. Both Martha and my mom would have told me that's backwards. A reflection on John 11:17–27.
God's List
Some mornings the only prayer I have time for is the rosary while I'm getting dressed. Martha knows where I'm coming from. A reflection on Luke 10:38–42.
Be Forgotten
James is the first apostle martyred, and Luke gives him three sentences before the story moves on to the next arrest. That's it. A reflection on Acts 12:1–5.
