Reminder for the 33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time, November 16, 2025

1 Kings, Please bring me a small cupful of water.

Psalm 146,  Praise the Lord, my soul.

Hebrews 9,  Christ did not enter into a sanctuary made by human hands.

Mark 12,  What do you wish me to do for you?

 

Welcome back, Everyone.  Special thanks to John Cade for celebrating our Sunday celebrations the past 3 Sundays.  Rosemary & I are so happy to be back with the community.   We celebrated the end of October with a Viking cruise on the Mediterranean from Barcelona, Spain to Venice.  Unfortunately, I return with a very painful lower back.  Hoping to get some medical help.

 

Romeos, Welcome!    Jason's Deli, 1:00, Friday, November 5. 

 

All of you who attended Mass on line these past Sundays are welcomed this Sunday.  We are circa 35 people.   Wear a mask, please, because of the current spread.    We request that everyone be vaccinated.   

 

 

Another Reminder for Sunday, November 7, 2021.

Here are the links for Sunday:

Deuteronomy 4, Moses said to the people.

Psalm 33, Blessed the people the Lord has chosen to be his own. 

Romans 8, Those who are lead by the Spirit of God are sons of God.

Matthew 28, The disciples went to Galilee to the mountain.

Romeos, Welcome!    Jason's Deli, 1:00, Friday. May 28.  Required: vaccines, mask for entrance & departure. 

 

All of you who attended Mass this past Sunday are welcomed this Sunday.  We were circa 35 people.   Another 10 would fit in comfortably.  It seemed safe enough and time for us to take off our masks this Sunday.  It was exhilarating!  Feedback?  One head's up: be conservative on hugging for the Sign of Peace.  Not everybody is ready yet for hugs.

Another Reminder for Sunday, May 30, 2021.

Here are the links for Sunday:

Isaiah 8:  The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; upon those who dwelt in the land of gloom a light has shown.

Corinthians 1:  Christ did not send me to baptize but to preach the gospel, and not with the wisdom of human eloquence, so that the cross of Christ might not be emptied of its meaning.

Matthew 4:  …Galilee of the Gentiles, the people who sit in darkness have seen a great light, on those dwelling in a land overshadowed by death light has risen.

 Readings:

Isaiah  60, 1-6, Rise up in splendor, Jerusalem,  Your light has come.

Psalm 72,  Lord, every nation on earth will adore you.

Ephesians  3, 2-6, The Gentiles are coheirs.

Matthew 2, 1-12, Magi from the east arrived.

 For those who don’t have a decent Bible or a book of the readings, here are two links that I use, The Bible at Your Fingertips and USCCB, The New American Bible. 

The difference?  The second is officially Catholic and has the 12 little books in between the O.T. & N.T., called Deuterocanonical or Apocrypha. 

Both are good translations.  I use the first more often because it has fewer doors to pass through to get to the text.  Thanks, Gerald, for this idea.  I will include the link from now on.

 

 Community Bulletin Board:

1.  This Sunday: Celebrate the First Sunday of The Year 2013.

2.  January 24, Thursday night, 8:00, Collin County Homeless Coalition is having their annual census of homeless.  We will have a sign up sheet at Mass.  Last year we had two teams of about 5 each.

1.    5 Things to do to make a better 2013, America and Corpus, December 31, 1000 words,   Download AMERICA 1-4-13 

 

 

All paths are the same: they lead nowhere. They are paths going through the bush, or into the bush. In my own life I could say I have traversed long, long paths but I am not anywhere. My benefactor's question has meaning now. Does this path have a heart? If it does, the path is good; if it doesn't, it is of no use. Both paths lead nowhere, but one has a heart, the other doesn't. One makes for a joyful journey; as long as you follow it, you are one with it. The other will make you curse your life. One makes you stronger; the other weakens you.
