22nd Sunday in Ordinary time, Year B  eading 2 Jas 1:17-18, 21b-22, 27 Dearest brothers and sisters: All good giving and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no alteration or shadow caused by change. He willed to give us birth by the word of truth that we may be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures. Humbly welcome the word that has been planted in you and is able to save your souls. Be doers of the word and not hearers only, deluding yourselves. Religion that is pure and undefiled before God and the Father is this: to care for orphans and widows in their affliction and to keep oneself unstained by the world.

Feast of St. Theresa Benedicta of the Cross 2024

Feast of Pope St. Sixtus II and Companions 

This is a talk that was given at Theology on Tap at Murphy's Grand Irish Pub in Old Town Alexandria, VA. If you would like a more comprehensive exploration of anxiety and a Catholic approach to mindfulness and healing please search my podcast for a multi-part series I did called "Mindfulness in an Anxious World" some years ago. I also recommend another course I taught on the Podcast called "the Little Way" about St. Therese and her little way. I hope this talk helps anyone who is struggling with anxiety. I am praying for you.  Fr. Searby

Feast of St. Mary Magdalene

16th Sunday in Ordinary time, Year B Gospel Mk 6:30-34 The apostles gathered together with Jesus and reported all they had done and taught. He said to them, “Come away by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while.” People were coming and going in great numbers, and they had no opportunity even to eat. So they went off in the boat by themselves to a deserted place. People saw them leaving and many came to know about it. They hastened there on foot from all the towns and arrived at the place before them. When he disembarked and saw the vast crowd, his heart was moved with pity for them, for they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things.
