Our Blogger

Fr. Joseph Jenkins
An important theme for this blog is the scene in the New Testament where Jesus can be found FLOGGING the money-changers out of the temple. My header above depicts a priest FLOGGING the devils that distort the faith and assault believers. The faith that gives us consolation can and should also make us very uncomfortable. Both Divine Mercy and Divine Justice meet in Jesus. Priests are ministers of reconciliation, but never at the cost of truth. In or out of season, we must be courageous in preaching and living out the Gospel of Life. The title of my blog is a play on words, not Flogger Priest but Blogger Priest.

The Practicality of St. Paul

Posted on March 21, 2012 by Father Joe

St. Paul is the Jew’s Jew. He draws from the Old Testament relation of marriage between the Chosen People and God to speak analogously of Christ as the divine bride groom and the Church as his bride. Paul is also very practical. While he has a preference for single-hearted or celibate discipleship, he acknowledges that not everyone has that gift.

1 Corinthians 7: 1-16
