Sunday Homily, April 23, 2017, 2nd Easter

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.

Acts of the Apostles 10:  To  him all the prophets bear witness, that everyone who believes in him will receive forgiveness of sins through his name.

Colossians 3:  When Christ your life appears, then you too will appear with him in glory

John 20:  Then the other disciple also went in, the one who had arrived at the tomb first, and he saw and believed.

Rosemary's Blessing:  

Risen Jesus, help us to be human expressions of the God you proclaimed: a God who is gracious and merciful, never gets angry and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.

May we know deeply God's great love for us, and like God, lean toward those suffering, oppressed and poor.

Adapted from A Reflection and Prayer for Easter by S. Jean Amore, CSJ

Deuteronomy 26: Therefore, I have now brought you the first fruits of the products of the soil which you, O LORD, have given me.’

Romans 10: For the Scripture says,  No one who believes in him will be put to shame.

Luke 4: Filled with the Holy Spirit, Jesus returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the desert for forty days, to be tempted by the devil.

Rosemary's Blessing:

Sirach 27:  Forgive your neighbor's injustice; then when you pray, your own sins will be forgiven.

Romans 14: For if we live, we live for the Lord, and if we die, we die for the Lord; …

Matthew 18:  Peter approached Jesus and asked him, "Lord, if my brother sins against me, how often  must I forgive?  As many as seven times?"  Jesus answered, "I say to you, not seven times but seventy -seven times."
