2nd Sunday in Ordinary Time, January 14, 2024

So sorry, but Mass this Sunday, January 9, 2022 will be virtual on Zoom because of the current threat of the Omicron virus.

Keep safe.  Hope to see you all soon.

 

 

Extra, Extra, I am seeing a Light at the end  of the tunnel!

 

Rosemary & I got our vaccines today at the Fair Park Super Center.  I phoned John Cade, he raced down, and he and his mother in law got the vaccine, too.

 

As of today you need no appointment.  Just be 75 or older & ID.  I will verify that you are all passed that age.

 

It took us 1 hour waiting in the car to get in the Fair Park gate 5 check point.  Once in, it was really well organized and in 2 1/2 hours we walked out vaccinated.

The easy & quick way to get there: 75 South, I30 East, look for the Ferris wheel on your right, and you are there.

 

Rosemary & I wanted to pass the word as soon as possible.   Rosemary was given this tip yesterday afternoon, Wednesday by a neighbor.   No wonder we love this neighborhood!

Happy Birthday today, Jan Keszler!

 

Am I actually seeing a light at the end of the tunnel.  

 

Sirach 50:  May he grant you a wise heart and abide with you in peace;

1 Corinthians 1:  Every time I think of you – and I think of you often! –

Luke 7:  One of them, when he realized that he was healed, turned around and came back, shouting his gratitude, glorifying God.

 

 

Another Reminder for the Sunday before Thanksgiving, November 247, 2024

Zephaniah 3:  Jerusalem will be told: "Don't be afraid. Dear Zion, don't despair. Your God is present among you, a strong Warrior there to save you.

Philippians 4:  Before you know it, a sense of God's wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It's wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.

Luke 3:  But John intervened: "I'm baptizing you here in the river. The main character in this drama, to whom I'm a mere stagehand, will ignite the kingdom life, a fire, the Holy Spirit within you, changing you from the inside out.

The Kiss of Peace

       

Exodus 17:  As long as Moses kept his hands raised up, Israel had the better of the fight, but when he let his hands rest, Amalek had the better of the fight.

2 Timothy 3:  …proclaim the word; be persistent whether it is convenient or inconvenient; convince, reprimand, encourage through all patience and teaching.

Luke 17:  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."
