  • Behold The Great High Priest

    Behold The Great High Priest
    2024/11/02
    In the image, Melchizedek lays his hands on Abram. The Book of Hebrews looks at this moment in Genesis as the origin of the priesthood of Christ. "Brothers and sisters: The levitical priests were many because they were prevented by death from remaining in office, but Jesus, because he remains forever, has a priesthood that does not pass away. Therefore, he is always able to save those who approach God through him, since he lives forever to make intercession for them." Hebrews 7. What does this have to do with Jesus and the Temple Mount in the Gospel for the 31st Sunday in Ordinary Time. This week on OVC.

  • Ambition, Service And Glory

    Ambition, Service And Glory
    2024/10/19
    Ambition, glory and honor - is the desire for these things evil. Jesus doesn't say that. Instead, to be ambitious in service, to be the least of all and the servant of all, this is ambition, glory and honor in God's eyes. ""You know that those who are recognized as rulers over the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones make their authority over them felt. But it shall not be so among you. Rather, whoever wishes to be great among you will be your servant; whoever wishes to be first among you will be the slave of all. For the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many."

  • Prudence, Money And Wisdom

    Prudence, Money And Wisdom
    2024/10/11
    Prudence is good judgment expressed in the choices you make. The grace of prudence is to choose wisely about matters eternal. In this week's OVC, the Lord teaches this lesson to a wealthy young man. "I prayed, and prudence was given me; I pleaded, and the spirit of wisdom came to me. I preferred her to scepter and throne, and deemed riches nothing in comparison with her, nor did I liken any priceless gem to her; because all gold, in view of her, is a little sand, and before her, silver is to be accounted mire. Beyond health and comeliness I loved her, and I chose to have her rather than the light, because the splendor of her never yields to sleep. Yet all good things together came to me in her company, and countless riches at her hands."

    Tatoos And Parker's Back By Flannery O'Connor
    2024/09/20
    For some people tatoos are personal expressions, windows to the soul. Can you recognize someone's true self through a tattoo? Flannery O'Connor says yes! Tatoos are subjective expressions of the human interior life. Sacraments are visible expressions of the reality of divine life. This week on OVC.
