The best fishermen I know try not to make the same mistakes over and over again; instead they strive to make new and interesting mistakes and to remember what they learned from them.

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?”

What's up in Ye Old Catholic Church

1.  Assumptions of White Privilege,  NCR,  https://www.ncronline.org/news/opinion/assumptions-white-privilege-and-what-we-can-do-about-it

Special note from Becky Good (the headmistress of Legacy and our gracious hostess):

Every Sunday morning at 9:00 Becky is part of a team of educators who discuss the future of schools in America for 30 minutes.  According to Becky big changes are coming.  Tune in to 1160 am KBDT (Big Talk Dallas).

Isaiah 55:  Thus says the LORD: Just as from the heavens the rain and snow come down and do not return there till they have watered the earth, making it fertile and fruitful, . . .
Romans 8:  . . . for creation was made subject to futility, not of its own accord but because of the one who subjected it, in hope that creation itself would be set free from slavery to corruption and share in the glorious freedom of the children of God.
Matthew 13:  “A sower went out to sow.  And as he sowed, some seed fell on the path, and birds came and ate it up.  Some fell on rocky ground, where it had little soil. It sprang up at once because the soil was not deep, and when the sun rose it was scorched, and it withered for lack of roots. Some seed fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it. But some seed fell on rich soil and produced fruit, a hundred or sixty or thirtyfold . . .

The tragedy of life is to allow it to go by without appreciating something in every single day, without celebrating its fundamental goodness to us.
The Monastic Way, Sister Joan Chittister
