September 24, 2017.mp3 Matthew's Gospel today is certainly challenging! Jesus teaches us through the parable in MT 20:1-16 with the story of the laborers and the generous landowner who pays the same wages to the latecomer workers as the earlybird workers. When the earlybirds complain, the landowner asks, "Are you envious because I am generous? Thus, the last will be first, and the first will be last.” Listen to Fr. Gerry's reflections on this.

September 17, 2017.mp3 Fr. Gerry focuses on the progression of the Gospels for these past two weeks — true forgiveness, being Church, being community, taking responsibility for growing our children in Faith, and having a personal relationship with Christ.

September 10, 2017.mp3 Fr. Gerry returned from Ireland! He reflects on today's Gospel MT 18:15-20, particularly the very first sentence — "Jesus said to his disciples: 'If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone.'" Most of us have learned not to go to the person directly who offends us. Listen to Father Gerry explore this way of doing.

Congratulations sweetie on your 50 year anniversary in the priesthood. You and I practically grew up together, oh! how we had such fun times at our home 🏡 on 1020 Main Street in Vicksburg.

I am so proud to have known you for over 53 years and more importantly to call you my dear sweet friend. You have touched so many lives and so many people are better for having known you. Keep on keeping on, and may God's eternal love shine on you for many more years to come. I love you Father Hurley 🙏🙏🙏💙💙💙🎉🎉🎉

"Mary, Mother of Jesus, give me your Heart: so beautiful, so pure, so Immaculate; your Heart so full of love and humility that I may be able to receive Jesus in the Bread of Life, love Him as you loved Him, and serve Him in the distressing disguise of the poorest of the poor.
