This past Sunday, Father Erik spoke on Luke 20, where the Sadducees came to Jesus with a question about the resurrection, intending to trap him. But what we learn from Jesus’ response is that the Pharisees and Sadducees don’t understand the true nature of the resurrection. Jesus reminds them (and us) that resurrection isn’t just about what happens after death, but about life breaking through now. As N.T. Wright says, “Heaven is great, but it’s not the end of the world.” We’re invited to live as people of resurrection — alive in Christ, practicing love, and joining God’s new creation that’s already begun.

📝 Father Erik gave us some homework on Sunday: read the Magnificat, the Song of Mary.

As you read, meditate on her posture and words as a model of the type of humility we should have as people participating in God’s story.

On Sunday, Pastor Erik opened with memories of watching old Westerns as a kid — where the good guys wore white hats, and the bad guys wore black. In those stories, you always knew who was who.

But life isn’t that simple. In Luke 18, Jesus challenges our instinct to divide the world into “good guys” and “bad guys.” The Pharisee and the tax collector both go to pray — one confident in his goodness, the other painfully aware of his need for mercy.

To Jesus’ first audience, the Pharisee was the good guy and the tax collector was the bad guy. But Jesus flips the script. The Pharisee makes the story about himself: an ego-drama. The tax collector makes the story about God: a theo-drama.

God is writing a story, and He invites us to find our place in His story, not to make Him a side character in ours.

May we confess when we’ve made the story about us. And may we be people who, step by step, live faithfully in the story God is writing.

On Sunday, we explored Jesus’ parable in Luke 18 — the story of a persistent widow and an unjust judge. It’s a surprising lesson about prayer, justice, and not giving up.

In the parable, Jesus sets up a contrast: the unjust judge, who only acts out of selfishness, versus God, who acts out of love and justice — and does so quickly.

But when we look at the suffering in our world and in our own lives, we’re often left wondering: Does God actually act promptly? Is this really true?

Jesus ends the story with a haunting question: “When the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”
Will he find persistence in us? Will he find faith? Will he find a willingness to say yes to the renewal of all things?

That’s the real challenge for those of us who follow Jesus. In the midst of all that feels broken in our lives, communities, and world, we’re invited not to lose heart. We’re called to persist in prayer — not just prayer that asks, but prayer that listens. Prayer that waits in stillness for God to speak.

Because God wants to speak. He wants to partner with us — to bring heaven to earth, to care for the immigrant, the widow, and the orphan, to act in justice and mercy.

But it begins with prayer.

A prayer life that’s persistent is what shapes us to join God in action.

Peace be with you as you meditate on this scripture today.

On Sunday, as we celebrated St. Francis of Assisi, Father Erik gave a message on faith from our gospel reading in Luke 17:5-10. We were reminded that faith is often misunderstood—not as the absence of doubt or a heroic achievement, but as a humble trust that what we already have is enough. When the disciples asked Jesus to increase their faith, he reminded them that even a mustard seed’s worth can move mountains. True faith is not about certainty but about trust—trust that God’s power works through small, faithful acts.

St. Francis of Assisi embodied this kind of faith. He did not seek greatness but chose simplicity, poverty, and deep trust in God’s care for all creation. His love for animals and the natural world was not sentimental; it was born from his conviction that every creature has a place in God’s kingdom. Like Francis, we are called to live out our “mustard seed faith” by trusting God’s provision, caring for creation, and recognizing that even the smallest act of love participates in the great work of faith.

On Sunday, Father Erik gave a message on 1 Timothy 6:6-19. In this first letter to Timothy, Paul writes with a message for his church in Ephesus—a specific church, in a specific place, facing specific challenges.

The church in Ephesus was marked by pride, status-seeking, and arguments over theology. Paul urges them to reorder their lives—prioritize prayer, pursue humility, and grow into maturity before seeking leadership.

So what does this mean for us now?
⠀
We’re also tempted by platform, recognition, and the desire to “do more” before we’re formed for it.

But God speaks to each of us in specific ways—through Scripture, the Church, our community and the Holy Spirit. God wants to form each and every one of us by speaking into our lives.

If Timothy were to share a message like this with us today, what might be spoken to us or asked of us?

✨ What areas of my life need to see growth?
✨ What am I holding too tightly?
✨ Where am I being too casual?
✨ What needs to be reordered in my affections?

Formation isn’t instant—it’s faithful.
Fight the good fight. Not for power, but for your soul.
