  • Reminder for the 26th Sunday in Ordinary Time, September 28, 2025

    Amos 6:  Woe to the complacent in Zion!  Lying upon beds of ivory, stretched comfortably on their couches, they eat lambs taken from the flock,  and calves from the stall!
    1 Timothy 6:  But you, man of God, pursue righteousness, devotion, faith, love, patience, and gentleness.
     Luke 16:  “There was a rich man who dressed in purple garments and fine linen and dined sumptuously each day.  And lying at his door was a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, who would gladly have eaten his fill of the scraps that fell from the rich man’s table.

     


    Nothing we manage to amass here can change the value of what we really are underneath it all. “Why, snatch at wealth, and hoard and stock it?” Betty Paoli writes. “Your shroud, you know, will have no pocket.”

  • 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.
