Community Activities:  

ROMEO MEET: Friday, February 24, Jason's Deli, Collin Creek Mall, west side of Central, 1:00.  Welcome all wakos,  you will fit right in.  

JULIET LUNCHEON, (aka.,just us ladies into eating together),      

Juliet’s Luncheon Ladies will meet Friday, March 3 at 1:00 P.M. at Ocean Seafood and Grill.  For all who have not been there the food is very good and reasonable.  It is a BYOB.  I thought this would be a good choice because it will be Lent and some of us do not eat meat on Fridays during Lent.  Ocean is at 3829 W. Spring Creek Pkwy., Plano, behind Chic-Fil-A which is on Coit Rd. (Spring Creek and Coit).  Please let me know if you can join us.  They do have other choices besides seafood.   Ron & Marilyn Ackerman [rmackerman5@gmail.com]

 Readings:

Isaiah  60, 1-6, Rise up in splendor, Jerusalem,  Your light has come.

Psalm 72,  Lord, every nation on earth will adore you.

Ephesians  3, 2-6, The Gentiles are coheirs.

Matthew 2, 1-12, Magi from the east arrived.

 For those who don’t have a decent Bible or a book of the readings, here are two links that I use, The Bible at Your Fingertips and USCCB, The New American Bible. 

The difference?  The second is officially Catholic and has the 12 little books in between the O.T. & N.T., called Deuterocanonical or Apocrypha. 

Both are good translations.  I use the first more often because it has fewer doors to pass through to get to the text.  Thanks, Gerald, for this idea.  I will include the link from now on.

 

 Community Bulletin Board:

1.  This Sunday: Celebrate the First Sunday of The Year 2013.

All paths are the same: they lead nowhere. They are paths going through the bush, or into the bush. In my own life I could say I have traversed long, long paths but I am not anywhere. My benefactor's question has meaning now. Does this path have a heart? If it does, the path is good; if it doesn't, it is of no use. Both paths lead nowhere, but one has a heart, the other doesn't. One makes for a joyful journey; as long as you follow it, you are one with it. The other will make you curse your life. One makes you stronger; the other weakens you.

Deuteronomy 30:  Moses said to the people: "If only you would heed the voice of the LORD, your God, and keep his commandments and statutes that are written in this book of the law, … "            

Colossians 1:  Christ Jesus is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.

Luke 10:Which of these three, in your opinion, was neighbor to the robbers' victim?" He answered, "The one who treated him with mercy."  Jesus said to him, "Go and do likewise."
