Sunday Mass Reminder 10-12-08, 28th, Ordinary Time

Zecariah 9:  He shall banish the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem; the warrior’s bow shall be banished, and he shall proclaim peace to the nations.  His dominion shall be from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth.
Romans 8:  If the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, the one who raised Christ from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also, through his Spirit that dwells in you.
Matthew 11:  “Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for yourselves.  For my yoke is easy, and my burden light.”

 

The question is not what we should celebrate, but what shouldn’t we celebrate. Every occasion is an occasion. It’s not the date on the calendar that matters, it’s the cognizance in our own soul of the amount of goodness around us that is in question.
The Monastic Way, Sister Joan Chittister

True?  

Although we have been made to believe that if we let go we will end up with nothing,
life reveals just the opposite: that letting go is the real path to freedom.

See you Sunday, December 12

Exodus 17:  Moses’ hands, however, grew tired; so they put a rock in place for him to sit on.  Meanwhile Aaron and Hur supported his hands, one on one side and one on the other, so that his hands remained steady till sunset.
2 Timothy 3:  Remain faithful to what you have learned and believed, because you know from whom you learned it, . . .
Luke 18:  For a long time the judge was unwilling, but eventually he thought, ‘While it is true that I neither fear God nor respect any human being, because this widow keeps bothering me I shall deliver a just decision for her lest she finally come and strike me.'” 

 

A message from Cody:
Thank you all for doing what you did and for those of you who made it to the service for sure. It was a very heartfelt event to say the least.

 

 

One purpose of feasting is to get back in touch with the earth that sustains us, to glorify the God that made it and to pledge ourselves to save the land that grows our food.
