There was a rich man who dressed in purple garments and fine linen and dined sumptuously each day.And lying at his door was a poor man named Lazarus.When the poor man died, he was carried away by angels to the bosom of Abraham. The rich man also died and was buried, and from the netherworld […]

In this week’s Gospel, we learn about the story of a steward who was challenged because he reduced the loan of his master’s debtors.  This is not an easy parable because we are asked to live wisely with the gifts the Lord has given us. “Wisely” has to do more with our distribution of wealth […]

Like the father who’s son returns home or the woman who finds her lost coin, Jesus tells us “Rejoice with me when I have found my lost sheep.’ … In just the same way there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous people who have no need […]

This week’s prayer is inspired from the first reading in the Book of Wisdom. Wis 9:13-18b Lord, we have few clues as to what this world holds for us. We are puzzled by the things we can see,even more by the things we cannot see. Your Spirit from on highcan give us the warmth of your […]

In this week’s Gospel, Jesus tells us to help the least of our brothers.“When you hold a lunch or a dinner, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or your wealthy neighbors… Rather, when you hold a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind;” Lk 14:1, 7-14 Please join […]

In this week’s Gospel, Jesus tells us we must put in effort to enter his kingdom. “Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I tell you, will attempt to enter but will not be strong enough… some who are first will be last and some who are last will be first.” Lk 13:22-30 […]

I know nothing of hatred, intolerance, racism,sexism, bigotry, indoctrination, homophobia and prejudice.I don’t yet understand things like love, compassion, integrity,tolerance, human decency and truth.For the first and most important formative years of my lifeall I will know is what you teach me.Choose wisely. Please join us at Mass as we celebrate this holy seasonand find ways we […]

In this week’s Gospel we are reminded that earthly treasuresare of no value in God’s eyes. Jesus said “Take care to guard against all greed, for though one may be rich, one’s life does not consist of possessions… All who store up treasure for themselves are not rich in what matters to God” Lk 12:13-21 […]
