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.

Mary, Mother of God my mother, Queen of Peace, ask your Son Jesus to give me the gift of peace.
Pray for me for peace; peace in my heart, peace of mind and of soul, peace in my family, peace with all whom I meet, the peace of Jesus.
Jesus, my Lord and Savior, my Brother, King of Peace, I come to you with Mary, Queen of Peace, to ask you humbly for a new outpouring of the gift of peace.
Pour out on me your Holy Spirit of Peace. Give me peace, Jesus, peace within myself, peace in my family, peace in my everyday life.
Give peace to my nation, and to all nations, peace among all peoples, peace in the world.
Jesus, my mediator with the Father, take me to the Father to pray for peace.
Father, Father of Jesus, our Father, my Father, I come to you with your Son Jesus.
In Him and with Him and through Him I pray for peace.
