Wake up, Joe. Just because Marsha is not here you think you can sleep during my homily.
TRUE?
I very quietly confided to my best friend that I was having an affair.
He turned to me and asked, "Are you having it catered?"
And that, my friend, is the sad definition of "OLD".
You are lucky, John. When I was supposedly growing up in Christ the King parish, they had ushers who knocked sleepers on the head when they got caught sleeping during the sermons of old Monsignor Bender. How come we got so many sleepers this morning, John?

1 Kings 19: After the fire there was a tiny whispering sound. When he heard this, Elijah hid his face in his cloak and went and stood at the entrance of the cave.
Romans 9: They are Israelites; theirs the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the worship, and the promises; theirs the patriarchs, and from them, according to the flesh, is the Christ, who is over all, God blessed forever. Amen.
Matthew 14: Peter said to him in reply, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.” He said, “Come.” Peter got out of the boat and began to walk on the water toward Jesus. But when he saw how strong the wind was he became frightened; and, beginning to sink, he cried out, “Lord, save me!”
What we love to do in life is what will make life happy for us. Not “easy,” perhaps, but definitely happy. Easy does almost nothing well. But love does everything to the utmost and without counting the cost. “When love and skill work together,” John Ruskin writes, “expect a masterpiece.”

Dear Father Stack,
Thank you very much for being my sponsor for my LEGO Drive, as part of my Eagle Scout project.
I would appreciate it, if you would please post the attached message to your blog.
I really value all of the support from you and the Stack Community.
Thanks, Anthony DeGenova
Sez Sir Charlie, "Psst, quiet, want to buy cheap a like new used car?" Now would you buy a used car from this character?
Dear Stack Ministry,
Hello, my name is Anthony DeGenova. I am 17 years old, and am working on my Boy Scouts Eagle Project. My mission is to donate LEGO blocks to under-privileged children. This project includes the collection, cleaning, sterilizing, sorting, packaging, and delivery of the LEGO blocks to a few charities that cater to children. I plan to donate all of mine, and would like very much to collect as many as possible from friends and neighbors like you, who wouldn’t mind giving theirs up for needy children. I am accepting both used and new LEGO blocks. Please bring the LEGO blocks to church and my parents will pick them up. Alternatively, I will gladly pick them up from your house, at your convenience.
If you have any questions, please contact me at:
Telephone: 972-495-3639
Email Address: anthonydegenova@outlook.com
I look forward to your support, and hope to make this drive and my Eagle project a success. Thank you very much for your help,
