The Warm Up - Sunday September 22, 2024

Jesus in the Gospel this weekend teaches us that if we want to be the greatest, we must be last of all and servant of all.  This is not what the world teaches us and yet the Gospel always calls us not to think about ourselves but to think about others.  We must love Christ by loving others through humility, service and sacrifice.  When we embrace this Gospel path our lives are truly transformed and filled with grace.  Are you ready?

Jesus asks the disciples---WHO DO YOU SAY THAT I AM?  Our answer to this question will help us see God's view of our lives and the world in addition to our willingness to take up our crosses and follow Him.  Who is Christ to each of us?  A friend? Distant relative or Master, Teacher and Messiah?  Listen to find out more!

The Warm Up - Sunday August 18, 2024

Jesus is the bread of life that has come down from heaven---without Him we have no life but with Him we have eternal life.  Christ makes it very clear that the Eucharist is at the heart of our faith so He can abide in us and we in Him.  May we truly seek out Jesus who is love and not be distracted by fading things of this world.

The Warm Up - Sunday August 11, 2024

We continue to reflect on Jesus who is the BREAD OF LIFE this coming Sunday from the gospel of John.  For us, it is all about truly understanding who Jesus is as the Messiah and source of eternal life.  Do we treat Him as such in our lives?
