Reminder for the 27th Sunday in Ordinary Time, October 5, 2025

Habakkuk 1: For the vision still has its time,  presses on to fulfillment, and will not disappoint;  if it delays, wait for it,  it will surely come, it will not be late.
2 Timothy 1: I remind you, to stir into flame the gift of God that you have through the imposition of my hands. For God did not give us a spirit of cowardice but rather of power and love and self-control.
 Luke 17: “If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you would say to this mulberry tree,  ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.”

John Cade is home and resting.

 Learning to celebrate life is one of the best lessons a person can learn.
The Monastic Way, Sister Joan Chittister
