Ordinary Time

The King’s Portrait

Luke 23: 33-43

When we think of Christ as the King of the Universe, the one overriding picture he wants us to have in our mind is his glory revealed at Golgotha.

The Temporal, Temporary Temple

Luke 21:5-19

Even the richest blessings of this world are nothing compared to the life to come. When we lose the things dearest to us we must be ready to take hold of what God offers in their place.

Zaccheus

Luke 19:1-10
Zaccheus’ transformation reveals the power of Jesus to reach and change any heart.

Persistent Prayer

Luke 18:1-8
If even a selfish, ruthless and powerful man can be moved by persistence, how much more should we persist in prayer to God our heavenly Father?

Brought Near

Luke 17:11-19
Ten lepers are cleansed, but only one is truly healed.  The difference is that he enters into relationship with Jesus.

The Rich Man and Lazarus

Luke 16:19-31
The unnamed rich man rejects God’s grace by rejecting the poor man Lazarus. The parable lifts the veil on how God sees poverty, and how we should see people.

Shrewd Stewards

Luke 16:1-13
A greedy, desperate and dishonest man uses his wealth shrewdly. How much more should Christians, motivated by love, be able to use wealth to bless others.
