Vespers Preaching - August 2020

Good, and Pleasing, and PerfectBr. Hoang Nguyen, O.P., reflects on the second reading for the 22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time, Romans 12:1-2.
As Christians we are often swimming upstream against the culture of the world. The Mind of Christ, which St. Paul in Romans encourages us all to have, helps us to see what in the world needs to change. But what about the good that is in the world? Can we put on the Mind of Christ and see and discern all that is good, and pleasing, and perfect? |

God Is Not A LiarBr. Peter Lewitzke O.P. preaches on Jeremiah 20: 7-9 at Vespers for the 22nd Week of Ordinary Time.
If God wants our best, why is it that so many of his followers have hard lives. Br. Peter shares his own experience of feeling misled by God and by his own Catholic Christian faith, and discovering an invitation to 'fall in love' with God. That invitation exists for all of us: will we accept it? |

A Search Into the Heart of GodBr. Greg shares an experience from a family camping trip, which drew him to consider the search for God in his life. In each human heart is a hunger for God. By loving God and the people around us, and by accepting the treasures Jesus left us, we can search more and more successfully.
"Oh the depths of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God." |

Trust Our Heavenly DoctorBr. Thomas Mary asks a difficult, unpopular question: is there such a thing as God's punishment? Speaking specifically of Divine Punishment, we are reminded that God hesitates to punish, preferring unimaginable patience and forbearance. When he does punish, he resembles not a torturer but a doctor, intent on giving health.
"I will... pull you down from your station." |

A Christ-Haunted PeopleBr. Dominick Jean, O.P. preached on Romans 13:8-10 for Vespers on the 23rd Sunday in Ordinary Time.
It's easy to talk about love in generalities and abstractions. What does it mean to love your neighbor in flesh and blood? What does it mean to be Haunted by Christ and His Love? For we truly are a Christ-Haunted people. |

Lord, what do you want from me?Br. Jordan De Guire, O.P. preaches Ezekiel 33:7-9 for the 23rd Sunday in Ordinary Time.
Sometimes it's easy to tell what God wants from us. Usually it isn't. What are we to in such cases? |

Preaching in 60 SecondsOften we find ourselves caught up in our day, lost in our work and without any sense of the peace so often mentioned in Scripture.
But even in the midst of the frantic, hurried pace of this life we can all take around 60 seconds. Listen to our brothers exhort, appeal and proclaim from Scripture and then incorporate that 60 seconds into the rest of your day, your week, and even your year. God bless. |
