Prior homilies or sermons of mine are occasionally downloaded by readers. Noticing this, I anticipate that some of those preparing to preach (or offer a reading) on an upcoming Sunday might benefit from the perspective I have taken regarding the Lectionary readings for a particular day. I am therefore offering (when I can) a prior text that I have used for the occasion. I will try to do this on Sunday evenings or Mondays believing that there might interest in these texts being made available. When I have one prepared, I will also offer an accompanying handout (in pdf format) in case these may also be helpful.
For this coming Sunday, the Fourth Sunday in Lent in Lectionary year A, I offer the following.
The link for it is here. The link to the handout may be found further below.
Here is the link to the handout.
Toward Beauty 
Thanks, I am struck by the stories on Jesus the teacher meeting people who are seemingly ordinary. The cinematographer would focus on just the two of them; he would then try to figure out how to capture ‘enlightenment’ on film, just as we try to figure out how teachings fit into our ordinary lives. Yet, are ours extraordinary lives?
