Second Sunday of Advent © INTRO: I had to ask myself……. What is the BIG DEAL in this reading with mentioning all the reigning governors and tetrarchs? What is LUKE doing? BASICALLY……….

23rd Sunday Ordinary Time (B) INTRO: I was never really that good at “diagramming sentences”! Diagramming a sentence is an exercise to gain a deeper understanding of its grammatical structure. The trouble I had was identifying what the predicate was, or what is the noun, or pronoun and the verb. I still would not be […]
