John Cade’s Homily from last Sunday:  01-11-26 Homily -The Baptism of the Lord

The real problem in life is when we accept what other people say we are. We learn not to change, not to try, not to begin all over again. But the poet Rumi says, “You were born with wings. Why prefer to crawl through life?”
The Monastic Way, Sister Joan Chittister
