Be That Kind of Rock

Carmelite homily for Friday, March 13, 2020 – Lectionary 234 (Matthew 21:33-46)

a bit about me

What attracted me to the Carmelites was their strong commitment to live and minister in community. As soon as I walked in the door, though, they brought out such treasures – Saint Teresa of Avila, Saint John of the Cross, Blessed Titus Brandsma, Saint Therese of Lisieux. I didn’t know! I feel like Aladdin in his cave. Thirty years and I’m still learning and discovering new and resplendent treasures.

a bit about this blog

This blog is to share these treasures with you. It’s arranged to correspond to the Cycle of Readings of the Common Lectionary with each post, containing a Carmelite gemstone, appearing one week ahead of the Lectionary. Yes, I’m hoping this will be a user-friendly resource for the Carmelite preacher, or if you’re looking for a daily reflection.
