November 20, 2016.mp3 This is the Feast of Christ the King, but Luke 23:35-43 is today's Gospel Reading. It's the completion of the Mission begun at the beginning of Luke's Gospel. This passage gives the perspectives of the bystanders, the soldiers, and the two thieves being crucified next to Jesus. So many just didn't understand what was really happening. Fr. Gerry helps us understand that it is not about extending this life. The one thief understood, and he asked Jesus to remember him. Jesus promised him paradise. Absolutely nobody is left out if they are willing to turn to Jesus and say, "Remember Me."

November 13, 2016.mp3 Fr. Gerry gives us more food for thought on LEADERSHIP. In Luke 21:5-19 Jesus is speaking to us about leadership in times of adversity, crisis or difficulty. We need to trust Jesus to give us "a wisdom in speaking that all your adversaries will be powerless to resist or refute." There is a much bigger picture than what we see today. Let us be open to receiving His gift of courage and wisdom. Anne Frank is a great example.

November 6, 2016.mp3 Fr. Gerry reflects on our word of the month, LEADERSHIP, in light of today's Gospel Luke 20:27-38. He invites us to do some self-reflection asking ourselves: What kind of leadership do I provide? Do people know what I believe by the way I live & work? How much of my life is tied up in peripheral things? — Jesus invites us to go deeper.

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

We’re more “connected” than ever…So why are we more lonely, anxious, and distracted than we’ve ever been?
Andrew Laubacher shares how big tech is rewiring our brains, stealing our attention, and robbing us of real connection.
But this episode is not just a diagnosis of what’s wrong—it’s a roadmap to living with freedom and intentionality. We’re not just talking about tech here. We’re talking about how to be human again. ... 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
