Reminder for the 18th Sunday in Ordinary Time, August 3, 2025

Ecclesiastes 1:  For what profit comes to man from all the toil and anxiety of heart with which he has labored under the sun?

Colossians 3:  For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.    When Christ your life appears, then you too will appear with him in glory.

Luke 12:  “Take care to guard against all greed, for though one may be rich, one’s life does not consist of possessions.”

                              

July 5
                                                                   

 

Never fear periods of darkness in life. They are the atrium to new phases of life, the threshold to new experience, the invitation to move on from where you are to where there is more for you to learn.

The Monastic Way, Sister Joan Chittister

    Opening night performance was hilarious. The energy and enthusiasm was
    phenomenal. Great entertainment for a summer evening.

    To the Cast and Crew of Noises Off,
    I just wanted to take a moment and congratulate you all on a wonderful
    production. We were able to attend the opening night performance and can not
    tell you how much we loved the entire show. The comedy came in many forms
    and was constant throughout all three acts. I honestly can not even imagine
    how exhausted you all must be after each performance! In the three years
    that Teatro delle Muse has been the resident company of the ArtCentre
    Theatre I can't remember a production that generated so many belly laughs
    from the audience. I sat in the back row (as is a habit of mine, I enjoy
    watching the audience, reviewers and tech crew as much as I do the show) and
    never saw a moment of restlessness, nor watch checks or snoring from
    audience members. That is amazing! Be very proud of the work you have done.
    I am proud to know this show is a part of our theatre. Jamey, I can't wait
    to see your next production with TDM, wait productions. there's Grease,
    Rocky Horror Picture Show, A Christmas Show and of course Evening Star
    Rising. We are so glad to have you as a part of our company and we hope that
    you bring all the talent from Noises Off with you to other shows!

    True?

    The result of a consistent and total substitution of lies for factual truth is not that the lie will now be accepted as truth and truth be defamed as a lie, but that the sense by which we take our bearings in the real world—and the category of truth versus falsehood is among the mental means to this end—is being destroyed.
