10-30-2022--Remember to Vote No on Proposal 3 We have an obligation to accompany one another in life and especially those who feel as if they have limited options when it comes to procreation. As a Church, we have consistently supported life and those who are effected by awful human circumstances here in this world. Still, and above all, we have an obligation to God to respect His most precious gift of Life.
10-23-2022--Our Lord Jesus paints the picture of our need for mercy. The timeless words of our Lord, “whoever exalts themself will be humbled, and the one who humbles themself will be exalted.” Our Lord shows each of us the “challenge” the Pharisees took up the typical posture of standing to pray. His prayer, however, is less toward God and more toward himself. The Pharisee in his self-righteousness considers “everyone else” to be either dishonest, unrighteous, or both. Scholars teach us, the Pharisee’s religious practices would be considered “exemplary” accordingly he fasted twice each week (Mondays and Thursdays) and paid tithes on all of his income. (ref. Deuteronomy 14:22)
10-16-2022--This week, our Lord teaches us about the importance of persistent prayer. When we place ourselves in a “mode” of persistent prayer; we remind ourselves and those near us of our total dependence on God. And when we reach the “ah ha moment” where we see deep within ourselves our need for God, we are then driven by that dependence to call out to Him all the more.
