      <image:title>Scripture Reflections - The Neuroscience of Peace:&amp;nbsp;What Jesus Knew About Your Brain 2000 Years Ago - The Bible has been telling us to pray for thousands of years; to meditate on the Word of God; and to trust in the constant presence of God with Us, Emmanuel. Now science is showing the physical truths and benefits of these biblical ideas. In this sometimes stressful season, take 5 minutes to pray each morning before you get out of bed, and to pray 5 minutes each night before bed. Set a timer for yourself. Be committed to this practice, and the peace that Jesus promises will surely enter your spirit.</image:title>

      <image:title>Scripture Reflections - “Peace on earth, good will to all”? - “Peace on earth, goodwill to all” is a nice idea, but in a world filled with war and political turmoil, it really seems like too lofty of a goal to even consider right now. However, what happens if we further adapt this Bible verse to make it more personal?</image:title>
      <image:caption>What if we could make it “Peace in me, and goodwill to those around me”?</image:caption>

      <image:title>Scripture Reflections - What do I believe? - I believe modern people have become disengaged from Christianity because we don’t actually read our own scriptures, nor do we pay attention to the words of our own liturgical prayers. Christianity, by its own text, is full of mysticism and spiritual wonderment.</image:title>

      <image:title>Scripture Reflections - I am Wonderfully Made! - Yet, how often do we share that same love and appreciation for the miracle of human life with ourselves? It seems so natural to unconditionally love a new baby, but do we extend that same love and compassion to ourselves?</image:title>

      <image:title>Scripture Reflections - Jesus on “As within, so without” - Jesus is clearly demonstrating the principle of “as within so without” in this teaching.</image:title>
      <image:caption>This idea is commonly passed around by New Age writers or yoga practitioners. It is actually a modern extension of an ancient paraphrase– of an even more ancient text– “The Book of Wise Balinas on the Causes,” written sometime between 600-900 AD, which became known as the “Emerald Tablet,” by Hermes Trismegistus. Clearly Solomon was correct when he wrote, “Nothing is new under the sun!”</image:caption>

      <image:title>Scripture Reflections - Jesus: The Ultimate Self-Help Guru</image:title>
      <image:caption>Jesus called people to love themselves, and then to allow that love to spill over into loving all the people around them (Mark 12:31). This was a major departure from the religious teachings of his day, which focused on rule-following and punishment for those who did not conform (Mark 2:27).  We are no different today. Psychologist Carl Jung wrote, “Where love rules, there is no will to power; and where power predominates, there love is lacking. The one is the shadow of the other.” We do to others that which we do to ourselves.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Scripture Reflections - Love Revolution: The Ancient Command That Could Heal Our Modern Crisis - The telltale sign that was to first show the Jewish people as different from other tribes in the Old Testament, was their love for one another. Jesus wanted the evidence of membership in his new tribe to be the “love for one another” that should have been clear to all who saw them.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Unfortunately, Christians often are no different than anyone else. We gossip, back-stab, lie, and ladder-climb the same as people from other religions and even those with no religion. This strife and struggle among people defeats the whole purpose of Christ’s mission. As we see throughout the Gospel of John, Jesus came to heal, forgive, restore peace, and bring love to humanity. He said, “I have given you a model to follow.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>Cantor Diary - What is the Purpose of Liturgy? - As Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs demonstrates that until we feel that our basic survival needs are met, we cannot focus our minds on the higher-order element of “Self-actualization”. If we fear that our needs for food, shelter, safety, and belonging are not being met, whether that fear is founded in reality or not, we cannot move our minds and hearts to the spiritual realm.</image:title>

      <image:title>Cantor Diary - Beyond the Monastery: Bringing A Cappella Chant to Your Local Catholic Parish Congregation - Take a listen to this brief recording of a typical American local parishing singing the Responsorial Psalm a cappella, led only by the cantor and priest. The cantor and the priest are both using a microphone. You can clearly hear the congregation singing along in the refrain sections, and as is typical, you can hear the people coughing, sneezing, and shuffling their feet. Yet, the refrain is being confidently sung by the people without any instrumental accompaniment.</image:title>
