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 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.

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.

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
