    Isaiah 53:  Through what he experienced, my righteous one, my servant, will make many "righteous ones," as he himself carries the burden of their sins

    Hebrews 4:  So let's walk right up to him and get what he is so ready to give. Take the mercy, accept the help.

    Mark 10:  It's not going to be that way with you. Whoever wants to be great must become a servant.  Whoever wants to be first among you must be your slave.

    May you live a long life full of gladness and health,
    With a pocket full of gold as the least of your wealth.
    May the dreams you hold dearest be those which come true,
    The kindness you spread keep returning to you.
    May the friendships you make be those which endure,
    And all of your grey clouds be small ones for sure.
    And trusting in Him to Whom we all pray,
    May a song fill your heart every step of the way.

  • Special Notice Saturday, March 28, 2020

    Dearest Community Members,

    Happy Saturday Evening.  I am disappointed to tell you that we have not been able to put together a live stream for tomorrow's Mass.

    Becky has worked tirelessly on this project and Mike Moran has also put in many hours on the project.  As of now we are hoping to get a You Tube presentation together of the Mass tomorrow at 9:30 at Legacy.  If we succeed we will put it out on the Blog tomorrow and you should be able to click on the link and see a presentation of the Mass.  We hope to put the link in around noon.  You will not get an email about the Blog until Monday BUT if you go to www.johnstackministries.com about 1:00 it should be out there

    In the meantime you have the readings and John Cade's excellent homily so that you can reflect as a family on what you read.

     

    Have a peaceful and healthy week.
