  • Reminder for the 16th Sunday in Ordinary Time, July 20, 2025

    Genesis 18:  One of them said, "I will surely return to you about this time next year, and Sarah will then have a son."

    Colossians 1:  It is he whom we proclaim, admonishing everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone perfect in Christ.

    Luke 10:  "Martha, Martha, you are anxious and worried about many things.  There is need of only one thing.  Mary has chosen the better part and it will not be taken from her."

     


    Rainbow 1

    Life is not one choice. It is a series of many choices. It is not one stage or phase or decision. It is many of them. And it is out of all those things that we become the fullness of ourselves.
