My mother and I were doing errands and we stopped at Dunkin Donuts. I order a plain donut. Why a plain donut instead of my usual chocolate doughnut? Because a guy in an apron and flour all over his arms just came out of the doughnut making room and brought out a tray of plain...

Jesus said we should not worry about what we are to eat and what we are to wear or worry about our lives. This is my question: Who in the Bible is the poster boy for anxiety? The man who fell among robbers who stripped him, beat and left half-dead in a gutter. If anyone... The post You are God’s Partner appeared first on St. Clement Eucharistic Shrine.

There was a Hindu who studying to be a Catholic. He said to his instructor, “Let me get this straight; you are blessed if you are poor; you are blessed if you’re persecuted. If someone strikes you on one side turn and give him the other. Love your enemy. I must pick up my cross,...

Growing up, I was the second oldest of five boys. That means I had one brother who was the boss and three who were clueless. It was impossible to grow up with four brothers and not use the word “idiot.” With that said, I grew up, minding my own business, then, all of a sudden,...

Dad said, “Let’s go fishing.” I said, “It’s January, the middle of winter! Sounds like a good idea.” We went to the Salmon River. When we arrived, we were met with a severe snowstorm. It was blowing sideways and I had so many layers of clothing on, I looked like the Michelin tire man. For...

Moses’ life was threatened at infancy by a king. Jesus’ life was threatened by a king. Moses left Egypt, Jesus left Egypt with His parents; Moses entered the desert for forty years, Jesus entered the desert for forty days. Moses went up the mountain to deliver the law; Jesus went up a mountain to deliver...

Jesus is walking along the shore and he sees fishermen. He calls to them. Then He sees two others mending their nets. Why does Matthew not just write that they are fishermen? Why net menders? Because Jesus needs two sets of skills: one to catch the fish and another not to lose them after they... The post Fix the Brokenness appeared first on St. Clement Eucharistic Shrine.

The path forward is what will lead to hope and grace. With the letter to the Corinthians, Paul thanks God for the gifts He will bestow on the Corinthians. But just after the thank you, the fireworks begin. Paul seems to have nothing good to say about them. They are disloyal to one another and...

My friend Jack asked me to fish with him one early evening. I always like to fish with my friend because he knows all the secret places. When I arrived it was dark. He first wanted to go to the yacht club where he is an associate member. Associate membership in a yacht club means... The post The Isolated Light appeared first on St. Clement Eucharistic Shrine.

The angel Gabriel gave word to Mary that she was going to be the mother of God. Mary tells him that she is the handmaid. Then, the last line: “the angel departed.” Does that strike you as odd? I would think that the angel needs to explain about some of the events that are about... The post Nothing is Impossible for God appeared first on St. Clement Eucharistic Shrine.
