Studies & Meditations

Bible studies and meditations — devotional rather than argumentative: walking through a passage or praying a truth, not debating it.

Under the Sun — A Study of Ecclesiastes 2

Ecclesiastes 2 walked in order — down through vanity and despair, then up through the turn at 2:24 to the purpose of man: to know and love God. The whole book hinges on four words: everything is measured under the sun, until St Paul answers in the same vocabulary — in the Lord.

A Meditation on Agape

A spoken-word meditation on agape — sacrificial love as grace and fire, grounded in the Eucharist and a father's love for his son, closing on the Jesus Prayer and 1 Corinthians 13.

Blessed Are the Pure in Heart

A Bible study on Matthew 5:8 — what it means to be pure in heart, why Moses' shining face prefigures us, and the promise the Church calls the Beatific Vision.
