We must heed St. Paul's words: "Be transformed by the renewal of your mind."

Peter professes faith in Jesus ... having no idea what his adherence to Jesus will mean.

I cannot recall why I have no recording for August 13.  -- I reflect on a discussion of the nature of interfaith friendship.  These words seem quite prescient as we consider the agony in Gaza/West Bank and Israel.

We consider the feelings of Peter, James and John as they behold their Master transfigured.

It appears that I recorded myself twice this Sunday.

I regret that next Sunday's feast of the Transfiguration keeps us from hearing "What can separate us?" (Romans 8.) So I have included what we otherwise would have heard the following Sunday!

Do you often rebuke temerity?  Are you frustrated by a lack of explanation of Jesus' parables?  Why does prayer seem to be so much like groaning?

I was on vacation on July 9.  -- We must open ourselves to the gift of insight, a way of seeing more deeply the meaning of life.

My best guess is that the deacon preached on June 25.  -- A return to Romans 6 and the core teaching on baptism.

We read from Romans that our salvation is sheer gift.
