The Warm Up - Sunday October 13, 2024

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!  As we give thanks for the countless blessings in our lives we are called in the Gospel this weekend to inherit eternal life by changing our lives---becoming Christ by following the rules, re-organizing our priorities and then live differently following Christ.  This may seem impossible but for God all things are possible.

The Gospel this weekend reminds us to take account and purge things that take us away from God's love and path while embracing a deeper spiritual life to draw close to the Lord.  Jesus in the Gospel also challenges us not to be stumbling blocks or obstacles for others drawing them away from the path of eternal life.  This Gospel gives us lots to think about!!

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!
