This is a study of Jesus as the giver of abundant life. What this means is explained by several authors. We know it is the life we all dream of having, and can have only through Jesus.
Jesus as Lord
Many think or understand the name God and titles Christ, Messiah, Savior, and Lord have equal value, they mean the same thing.
This is true in as much as all these qualities are found in Jesus. Let’s review and compare the meaning of each of these words.
This weekend we hear in Matthew’s Gospel of John the Baptist sitting in a jail cell and wondering if he placed his bets on the wrong guy…questioning if the Lord is anywhere near to him. Then again, when we are faced with adversity, doubt, and loss how often have we questioned “Where is God?” and “Is the Lord anywhere near?” See how a street corner in Louisville and the wisdom of Thomas Merton may just open our eyes to see in a new way so that we can join in the chorus of Gaudete! Rejoice! on this 3rd Sunday of Advent.
God is present in the Word; God is present in the Eucharist. In the Economic Trinity, the Incarnate Second Person is the Mediator who prays and saves by his presence. He is Emmanuel. Therefore whether we pray the Psalms or partake of the Eucharist, we are united with Our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom alone we 'come' to the Father.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
2. THE LIVING DEAD
“You were dead through the
…sins in which you once lived…
But God, who is rich in mercy, out
of the great love with which he
loved us even when we were dead
through our trespasses, made us
alive together with Christ …and
raised us up with him and seated
us with him in the heavenly
places…”
(Ephesians 2.1-6)
3. THE LIVING DEAD
“Very truly, I tell you,
anyone who hears my
word and believes him
who sent me
has eternal life, and does
not come under
judgment, but has passed
from death to life.”
(Gospel of St. John 5.24)
4. WE ARE NOT YET FULLY ALIVE
–St. Irenaeus: “The
glory of God is a
human being fully
alive”
–St. Athanasius: “God
became human so
that humans could
become gods”
6. WHAT DO THE LIVING DEAD NEED?
If you get bitten by a
zombie, you become a
zombie. You’re still
alive… kind of, not
really… you’re actually
kind of dead… to once
again be fully alive, you
need an antidote.
7. THE ANTIDOTE: THE “HOLY SPIRIT”
God’s love,
life,
breath and energy;
that which
“animates” us and
all things.
(cf. Gn. 1.2; 2.7; Jn. 20.22; Ac. 17.28)
8. THE ANTIDOTE: THE HOLY SPIRIT
If you “get infected by” the Holy
Spirit – the antidote to the power
of “death” – you begin to become
fully alive. Without losing your
own unique personality, you begin
to become more and more like
Jesus, who is the only human
being who has – so far –
experienced the fullness of life,
the only one – so far – to be fully
“saturated with” the Spirit of God.
9. HAS ANYONE ACTUALLY
BECOME FULLY ALIVE IN
THIS WAY?
The saints are those who
“caught” so much of the
Holy Spirit
that they were able to
become “fully alive”
10. CONFIRMATION
-the sacrament that involves,
among other things, us receiving
the Holy Spirit.
-we first receive the Spirit at
Baptism.
-at Confirmation, we are further
empowered by the Spirit to live
our lives fully, as people who are
saturated with God’s own life
and power.
11. BRING ME TO LIFE!
“When it was evening on … the first
day of the week, and the doors of the
house where the disciples had met
were locked … Jesus came and stood
among them and said, “Peace be with
you.” After he said this, he showed
them his hands and his side... Jesus
said to [the disciples] … As the Father
has sent me, so I send you.” When he
had said this, he breathed on them
and said to them, “Receive the Holy
Spirit”
(Jn. 20.19-22)
