Sunday Reminder 2-1-09, 4th Ordinary Time

Isaiah 56:  . . . for my house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples.
Romans 11:  I am speaking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch as I am the apostle to the Gentiles, I glory in my ministry in order to make my race jealous and thus save some of them.
Matthew 15:  Then Jesus said to her in reply, “O woman, great is your faith! Let it be done for you as you wish.”

Some artists are cooks. Some of them are welders. Some of them are counselors. Some of them are technicians or accountants or teachers. “Just as writing can become calligraphy when it’s creatively, skillfully, and consciously performed,” H. E. Davey wrote, “so can all other activities become art.”
The Monastic Way, Sister Joan Chittister
