Thank you Fred! Even though my phone doesn’t correctly work/makes responding too time consuming of a task when I’m getting ready for work, I still read your reflections and always gain from them. Thank you for taking the time to enrich our lives.

Readers of ACM,
There is a wonderful podcast called “Daily Exegesis” produced by the Logical Bible Ministry, on the Hallow app, Spotify, You Tube. This ministry is Catholic and everyday, a literal verse by verse explanation of the Gospel reading is given. What was the original meaning in the original context?

Please do listen to it. The Gospel text will become all the more meaningful to you.

God bless

Fred,
Thank you for the reflection and especially the story of Harry. The way everything aligned to get you (and maybe him) back to a joy-filled state of being was just what you needed. Think about it. Two seconds difference in your and/or Harry’s route that morning might’ve prevented you two from running into each other. Sometimes we feel the hand of Divine Providence directly addressing our needs. Some of us might recognize your encounter with Harry as a “close moment to Christ”.
Peace ✌️

Thanks, Fred, for the sidebar! I have really missed it for more than a year. For some reason, the email deliveries of the blog stopped coming, and I told myself that perhaps the Holy Spirit was nudging me to start feeding others—sharing the Word—instead of always receiving from you and others.

When the mails stopped, I began reading the daily Mass readings and reflecting on my own, using your method (Which line snaps at me? :-))—and then creating a scriptural quote card for social media (WhatsApp and X, formerly Twitter) based on the line that “jumped” out at me. I have been doing this since April 2024—thanks to you and your colleagues for the inspiration!

Then, out of the blue, the blog emails resumed arriving in my inbox two days ago. Why this happened, I do sincerely not know. But let’s keep at it—doing our little part—and trust the Holy Spirit to do the amplification.

Blessings,
Sunday-Patrick Kayongo, Jinja-Uganda.
