This week, we’re again in John’s Gospel, and this should come as no surprise. The Sundays after Easter are those Sundays were, if you will, “the lectionary does not apply”: Each year, we have the same readings. The second Sunday after Easter is the Sunday of “Doubting Thomas”, and the story of Thomas is only…

So here we are, finally…It’s Easter. It’s funny how this week, almost every day, I had at least one or two people asking me: “So your big day is coming uh?“, and I guess they’re right: Easter is a big day and it is a big deal for all of us Christians. Actually, all what…

I just wanted to say a few words tonight about the rite of the washing of the feet – this rite we have the opportunity to practice only once a year on Maundy Thursday. I know we don’t always like it. And I think it’s only fair to acknowledge that it’s a bit awkward. But…

– We continue our Lenten journey in John’s Gospel. We’re almost there, this is the last Sunday before Palm Sunday. We noticed last time that John’s Gospel is the Gospel that insists the most on Jesus’s divinity and yet there is this paradox that it also dwells a lot on Jesus’s emotions and feelings. We…

You are probably quite familiar now with the lectionary, our cycle of readings throughout the liturgical year. We read according to a cycle of three year, each time focusing on one of the Gospels: Year A is for Matthew, Year B is for Mark, Year C is for Luke. And John’s Gospel is spread out…

We’ve heard this passage of the Gospel only a few months ago…We had Matthew’s version, but Matthew’s and Mark’s narratives are quite similar. I may repeat some of the things that have already been said, it’s such an important passage of the Gospel though. We’re in the middle of the book and we find ourselves…

We enter this time of Lent, the first Sunday in Lent, with the story of Noah, or rather with the end of the story of Noah. It is quite a long story: it starts in Chapter 6 in Genesis and it is developed through chapter 9, a chapter which will close with the fate of…

For those of you who had an opportunity to read our past weeks sermons, we continue today in the First Chapter of Mark where the evangelist starts introducing, little by little, his characters: Simon Peter and his brother Andrew, James and John. But as you can imagine, it’s not only about the disciples, what Mark…

We are still in the first chapter of Mark’s Gospel today, right after Jesus has called his first disciples. They have started to follow him and they arrive together in Capernaum, which his the place where Jesus had his home, at least for a while. Now the passage we have today is quite dramatic. Jesus…

The Gospel we have heard this morning is about the call of the disciples: First come Simon and Andrew. We know that Jesus will rename Simon “Peter”. It’s important to notice that Simon comes first because we believe that Mark was Peter’s companion and that his Gospel is mainly made from Peter’s memories. We also…
