On The Margins – Matthew 2:1-12

fr_ron_and_kbvm_readingBWListen to  “On the Margins”. This broadcast comes from KBVM 88.3, Catholic Broadcasting Northwest. We open our search for God, sometimes in secret, sometimes without a light to lead us to the place where the child is. Our search can lead us into a greater darkness, from food, sex or power. Our search can come from our pride. The kings know within them that Jesus is the light. Jesus is greater than the light that lead them.  Epiphany of the Lord, January 5, 2014.

On The Margins – Matthew 1:18-24

fr_ron_and_kbvm_readingBWListen to my weekly radio show, On the Margins. The tone changes in this liturgy. The challenge of the prophets gives way to Joseph’s dreams. “Do not be afraid”. An angel comes to us, these words of hope are also for us. This gospel is a transition for us into Christmas. This gospel gets to the heart of our fear, to bring hope to the world. We are caretakers of the dream. Fourth Sunday of Advent , December 22, 2013.

On The Margins – Matthew 3:1-12

fr_ron_and_kbvm_readingBWListen to my weekly radio show, On the Margins. The gospel seems so harsh and stern. The gospel compels us to wake-up, to ready our lives as they are to the love of God. The revelation of God is coming to us in our hearts. We hear an adult John preparing us for the coming of Christ. We are waiting for the adult Christ to come again, to break into our lives in reconciliation and peace.  Second Sunday of Advent , December 8, 2013.

On The Margins – Luke: 19:1-10

fr_ron_and_kbvm_readingBWListen to my weekly radio show, On the Margins. We are all searching for a new perspective in life. Zacchaeus had so many resources, yet there was something missing within him. He took to the streets and learned that Jesus was going to pass through. If he needed something in his life, he knew how to get it. He wanted to see Jesus. From his wealth and inner yearning, he climbs the tree. The tree becomes the cross of new perspective. Jesus wants to come to his house. Thirty-First Sunday in Ordinary Time , November 3, 2013.
