You cannot trust people who, at 6:00 A.M., get on a bike for a ride that goes no where.  Then they throw a birthday party for some guy who just hit the big 80.  You cannot trust that Jewish Community Center!

Wake up, Joe.  Just because Marsha is not here you think you can sleep during my homily.  

 

 

TRUE?

 

I very quietly confided to my best friend that I was having an affair.

He turned to me and asked, "Are you having it catered?"

And that, my friend, is the sad definition of "OLD".

 

 

 

 

 

You are lucky, John.  When I was supposedly growing up in Christ the King parish, they had ushers who knocked sleepers on the head when they got caught sleeping during the sermons of old Monsignor Bender.   How come we got so many sleepers this morning, John?

Sirach 3: God sets a father in honor over his children;  a mother’s authority he
confirms over her sons.
Colossians 3: And whatever you do, in word or in deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
Matthew 2:  Joseph rose and took the child and his mother by night and departed for Egypt. He stayed there until the death of Herod, that what the Lord had said through the prophet might be fulfilled, Out of Egypt I called my son.

Exodus 17:  Moses’ hands, however, grew tired; so they put a rock in place for him to sit on.  Meanwhile Aaron and Hur supported his hands, one on one side and one on the other, so that his hands remained steady till sunset.
2 Timothy 3:  Remain faithful to what you have learned and believed, because you know from whom you learned it, . . .
Luke 18:  For a long time the judge was unwilling, but eventually he thought, ‘While it is true that I neither fear God nor respect any human being, because this widow keeps bothering me I shall deliver a just decision for her lest she finally come and strike me.'” 

 

A message from Cody:
Thank you all for doing what you did and for those of you who made it to the service for sure. It was a very heartfelt event to say the least.

 

 

One purpose of feasting is to get back in touch with the earth that sustains us, to glorify the God that made it and to pledge ourselves to save the land that grows our food.
