Sunday Mass Reminder for March 9, 2008, 5th Lent

Acts 2:  All who believed were together and had all things in common; they would sell their property and possessions and divide them among all according to each one’s need.
1 Peter 1:  Although you have not seen him you love him; even though you do not see him now yet believe in him, you rejoice with an indescribable and glorious joy, as you attain the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
John 20:  Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here and see my hands, and bring your hand and put it into my side, and do not be unbelieving, but believe.”

John Cade’s Easter Homily:  04-05-26 Homily Easter Sunday

In the end, it will always be what we have done to assure those who have less than we do the same quality of life we have that will count most. It won’t be how much money we made in the doing of it.
The Monastic Way, Sister Joan Chittister
