February 26, 2017.mp3 Today Fr. Gerry focuses on the Readings. Isaiah assumes a mother can never forget her child. God our Father never forget any of us either. But, we sometimes feel maybe God has abandoned us when we face extreme hardship. But, God doesn't divert these troubles. Rather, He walks with us. We just tend to turn to Him when all else has failed. Worry doesn't serve us, yet still we worry.

February 19, 2017.mp3 Fr. Gerry continues the theme of following law and explores Jesus' challenge to love our enemies. (Matthew 5:38-48) Jesus did it Himself. Retaliation is not the Christian way. The antidote to anger is love. What happens when I stand in the way of evil or in the way of those opposing me? Rather than retaliate, try showing the way of love and find peace.

February 12, 2017.mp3 Matthew 5:17-37 is instruction for achieving righteousness and reconciliation. Fr. Gerry asks everyone, "Why did you come here to Mass today?" All the Readings for this Sunday are reflective of law. There are different stages of living with the law. But, ultimately the law is an invitation to relationship and love with God. It gives us freedom and we must make our choices.

February 5, 2017.mp3 Reflecting on today's Gospel Matthew 5:13-16, Fr. Gerry explains how we can be salt and light in our very own community today. The purpose of our coming together as community in our Eucharistic Celebrations is to be renewed and strengthened by Him. Then, we go forth and put it into practice during the week.

May we all be taken care of by Mary's loving hands 💕🙏
Jesus teaches us that we pray because God has called us individually into a relationship of love with him, and he wants to be the priority and love of our lives.
In the sixth chapter of the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus affirms the truth that prayer is ultimately a relationship of love in three simple, but deeply profound, verses. ... See MoreSee Less

Father of all nations and ages,
We recall the day when our country claimed its place among the family of nations;
for what has been achieved we give you thanks,
for the work that still remains we ask your help,
and as you have called us from many peoples to be one nation, grant that, under your providence, our country may share your blessings with all the peoples of the earth.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.
Amen. ... See MoreSee Less

Tithing is now considered blasphemy... The Pope has Wisdom being held by the US MILITARY and using a bucket to defecate in.
Brace yourself — ordinary time is coming. During Lent, the cross is front of mind. During Easter, we sometimes let it slip into the background. During Ordinary Time, the cross comes back as the one thing that holds everything in life together. Here’s the “ordinary” role of the Cross during this season. ... See MoreSee Less

At first, I felt only joy, but gradually I began to feel in my heart as though something was missing. An emptiness which the flowers, the sun, and the soft breeze could not yet seem to fill.Comment on Facebook
