Revelation 7:  These are those who come from the great tribulation.  And they’ve washed their robes, scrubbed them clean in the blood of the Lamb.  That’s why they’re standing before God’s Throne. 
1 John 3:  For this is the original message we heard: We should love each other.  Let’s not just talk about love.  Let’s practice real love.
 Matthew 5:  When Jesus saw his ministry drawing huge crowds, he climbed a hillside.  Those who were apprenticed to him, the committed ones, climbed with him.  Arriving at a quiet place, he sat down and taught his climbing companions. 

John Cade’s Homily from last Sunday:  10-26-25 Homily -30th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Good food is the hallmark of every season: fresh fruit in summer, roasted chestnuts in the fall, warm bread in winter, oyster stew in the spring. Leslie Newman says of it, “As the days grow short, some faces grow long. But not mine. Every autumn, when the wind turns cold and darkness comes early, I am suddenly happy. It’s time to start making soup again.”
The Monastic Way, Sister Joan Chittister

How to be Happy in Old Age
by
Christine Swanberg

Refer to Pavarotti as your friend.

Listen to him often.

Try to live the way he sings.

Give everyone A’s in everything.

Never be afraid of your hair

or what others might say about it.

Prefer levity to pomposity.

Make up wonderful lies

especially to stupid questions.

Love good food and drink.

Cook marvelously.

Carry a rusty briefcase

or a red knapsack.

Make satirical weathervanes.

Wear outrageous socks.

From The Alleluia Tree (The Puddin’head Press, 2012).

Acts 1:  “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, throughout Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
Ephesians 1:  May the eyes of your hearts be enlightened, that you may know what is the hope that belongs to his call, what are the riches of glory in his inheritance among the holy ones, and what is the surpassing greatness of his power for us who believe,in accord with the exercise of his great might, . . .
Matthew 28:  . . . “All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age.”

Kindness is not recompense for favors received, it is unearned warmth given for absolutely no reason at all.  Joseph Joubert says of it, “A part of kindness consists in loving people more than they deserve.”
