January 29, 2017.mp3 Fr. Gerry speaks on the Beatitudes Jesus presented in the Sermon on the Mount in today's Gospel. (Mt 5:1-12A) How do you see the Beatitudes? Do you see them as impossible ideals? As goals to be achieved? As wishful blessings on those who suffer? Or, as hallmarks of God's Kingdom when it arrives? They are "Be-Attitudes." If we want to BE sons & daughters of God, how different can our ATTITUDE toward the Gospel, toward Him, and toward life make our experience!

January 1, 2017.mp3 Fr. Gerry gives his first homily of the new year looking toward what 2017 will look like for us as a Parish. Are we really working at believing what we profess? How will my growing relationship with Christ make it different this year? Will my experience of Worship and the Eucharist look like something new this year? The Incarnation came about because God wanted to love us up close, in a real relationship with Him. Do I know Him as God with us?

We are reassured of the greatness of man, of his dignity and rights. But we are in sore danger of forgetting fundamental truths about our condition.
