WORDS FROM FATHER YOHANES: To Unite or To Divide

In simple terms, these two movements are called: getting closer to God or to the Church, and going away from God or the Church. In theological discourse, these two movements are called Symbolon and Diabolos. And to understand their meaning and implications, we can begin with their etymology, which then helps us draw out their meaning and relevance. Symbolon is a Greek word. It comes

OUTDOOR TRUTHS: Purpose
By Gary Miller In the early 1900s, gun ownership for most families might have included a .22 rifle, a double barrel shotgun, a .30-30 lever action rifle, and a pistol. Many only had one or two of these. A pistol was often the last firearm on the list. A farmer looked at these guns not as something to collect or trade, but as tools. That same farmer would look at the collection that many individuals have today, and ask “What’s all them for?” He believed that a gun had a purpos

OUTDOOR TRUTHS: Edna's Place
By Gary Miller As a young teenager, many of my summer days were spent fishing at the local canal. I remember the unique art of catching carp using whole kernel corn as bait. I also remember the little country store where I bought that corn. What I remember most about that place, however, was not my corn purchases but my candy ones. Edna owned the store and she had a candy counter that was strategically placed just to one’s left as soon as you walked in. The glass front was po

WORDS FROM FATHER YOHANES: Creating a Sacred Space — Isaiah’s Two Tasks and Ours
By Father Yohanes Akoit The first reading of the Twentieth Sunday in Ordinary Time speaks about how the Lord brings foreigners into His house, the temple. This act of welcoming becomes the reason why the Lord instructs the prophet Isaiah, “My house shall be called a house of prayer for all people” (Isaiah 56:1, 6-7).

OUTDOOR TRUTHS: Just Things
By Gary Miller At least once a year I fish the Powell River with my friend, Michael. We live about an hour from each other, so these trips are planned a few weeks in advance. Our preferred way of fishing is with light tackle in kayaks. We both love everything the river offers. The Powell is a small river, and while there are some larger smallmouth bass, most of our trophies measure less than 15 inches. But the fight they put up, combined with the pull of the current, gives us

WORDS FROM FATHER YOHANES: The Initiative of Jesus in Saving His Disciples
By Father Yohanes Akoit The Gospel reading on the Nineteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time speaks about the help of Jesus to His disciples. This happened because their boat was tossed by the wind and was about to sink. They were afraid and looking for their rescue. Exactly at that moment, Jesus came walking on the water and saved their lives (Matthew 14:22-33). To grasp the main message of this story, it is helpful to combine it with another story from the Bible. The story that tak

WORDS FROM FATHER YOHANES: Returning to the Center of Our Being
By Father Yohanes Akoit Gabriel Marcel once says in his book, Being and Having, that there is a condition in which we can experience what he calls Indisponibilité: the existential state in which a person loses presence to himself. He becomes absorbed by functions, social roles, and external demands. He lives and moves not from the center of his own being; instead, his existence is shaped by what comes from outside. Take the example of a priest: He has to think and find the be
