Palm Sunday, March 29, 2026

Isaiah 50:  The Lord GOD is my help, therefore I am not disgraced; I have set my face like flint, knowing that I shall not be put to shame.
Philippians 2:  Rather, he emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, coming in human likeness;. . . .
John 9:  He said, “Go into the city to a certain man and tell him, ‘The teacher says, “My appointed time draws near; in your house I shall celebrate the Passover with my disciples.”‘”


“Friendship,” Coleridge writes, “is a sheltering tree.” It shades us in the sun, shelters us in the rain and protects us from the harsh winds of life. Our friends stand between us and the storms of life to give us the time and reflection we need to become our strongest selves.
The Monastic Way, Sister Joan Chittister

Donna Dinsmore asks for prayers for her daughter, Dana, (and unborn child) who is having  some problems during her pregnancy and still has 10 weeks to go.

  • Reminder for the 19th Sunday in Ordinary Time, August 10, 2025

    Wisdom 18: The night of the passover was known beforehand to our fathers,  that, with sure knowledge of the oaths in which they put their faith,  they might have courage.

    Hebrews 11:  Brothers and sisters: Faith is the realization of what is hoped for and evidence of things not seen. Because of it the ancients were well attested.


                                  Crepe Myrtle 3

                                                                       

    To love someone is to double all our joys and divide all our disappointments. To be loved is to increase our courage and decrease our fears.

    The Monastic Way, Sister Joan Chittister
