2 weeks ago

A man walked into a bar and saw an old friend nursing a drink and looking despondent! “You look terrible,” he said. “Well, I am,” replied the friend. “My mother died in April – and left me $50,000. Then in May, my father died. And he left me $100,000. “Gee that’s tough, losing both parents in just two months.” “AND, to top it off, my favorite aunt died last month, and left me $1,000,000!” [ 949 more words ]

Homily for the Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time 2019

3 weeks ago

A battleship was out at sea participating in naval maneuvers, when an Ensign raced to the bridge, waving a piece of paper. “Captain,” he said breathlessly, “there’s a message for you from the Admiral!” “Well, read it!” growled the Captain. Reluctantly, the Ensign began to read: “Of all the blundering, bone-headed nincompoops in this world, you take the cake!” The bumbling Captain looked confused for a moment and then GAVE THE ORDER: “Have that message DECODED at once!” [ 810 more words ]

Homily for the Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time 2019

3 weeks ago

A young mother was having one of the worst days of her life. Her husband lost his job; the water heater exploded; the postman brought a stack of bills she couldn’t pay; her hair was a mess; and she felt fat and ugly. She was almost at the “breaking point” as she lifted her little one-year-old into his highchair, leaned her head over against the tray, and began to cry. [ 584 more words ]

“You cannot volunteer at All Hallows”

4 months ago

That’s right, there are no “volunteers” at the parish. In our Church, we are called and gifted by God to all the activities and all the service that make up parish life. We are stewards of the gifts when we hear the call and say “yes”. This is where we begin the journey to stewardship as a way of life. [ 218 more words ]

“Finding the Eggs” of Stewardship

4 months ago

Most people associate “stewardship” with some kind of giving. It might be a special gesture as we come to the close of this time of year to honor our Lenten commitment to almsgiving which brings joy and blessings. At Easter, when thoughts of joy are common, it could be the time when the stewardship way of life is “found” by our consciousness and treasured by our faith. [ 257 more words ]
