Reminder for Sunday, March 15, 2015, 4th Lent, Cycle B

Isaiah 49:  I will make you a light to the nations, that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth.
1 Corinthians 1:  … to you who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be holy, with all those everywhere who call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours.
John 1:  He is the one of whom I said, ‘A man is coming after me who ranks ahead of me because he existed before me.’

John Cade’s Homily from last Sunday:  01-11-26 Homily -The Baptism of the Lord

The real problem in life is when we accept what other people say we are. We learn not to change, not to try, not to begin all over again. But the poet Rumi says, “You were born with wings. Why prefer to crawl through life?”
The Monastic Way, Sister Joan Chittister
