Another Reminder for the 1st Sunday of Advent, December 1, 2024

Exodus 22:  Thus says the LORD: "You shall not molest or oppress an alien, for you were once aliens yourselves in the land of Egypt.

1 Thessalonians 1: And you became imitators of us and of the Lord, receiving the word in great affliction, with joy from the Holy Spirit, so that you became a model for all the believers in Macedonia and in Achaia.

Matthew 22: He said to him, "You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and the first commandment. The second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

No Mass Celebration again this Sunday, March 22, 2020

Sorry Everybody.  

 

Please pass the word to anyone you think  of.

I will miss you all, John

 

During this time, you will receive the blog on Saturday (instead of Monday).  It will include the three readings for the Mass, plus John's Homily #3 on Matthew.

We thought by doing this you could celebrate The Word together as a family on Sunday mornings.  John will also leave you with a question to ponder on.

Any other ideas, please let us know.

 

 

 

I miss you girls, Harper & Betsy.

 

 

On the lighter side:

 

 

People have asked about their donations to the Community during this time. Should you like to make a donation at this time, you can send a check to the house (6107 Tulip Ln., Dallas 75230).  Thanks and John will send you a "thank you" note.
