We don't need to understand others to see the Divine in them. We don't need to understand the mystery of the human person to love like Jesus taught us.
Thank You to all who continue to supply snacks and/or made sandwiches for the 688 guests who came to our Open Door Lunch Ministry during the month of April. Needs: bottled water, chips, soft fruit (bananas, grapes, oranges), fruit cups, applesauce cups, crackers, cookies, snacks.
Happy Mother’s Day and Happy Ascension! Today each of us is invited to celebrate with gratitude the woman who brought us into this world. For some of us it may not be our birth mother who has protected and nurtured us through the years, but someone else who has loved us very much.
“Sin is the failure to bother to love.” James Keenan, S.J., wrote those words in his book, A History of Catholic Theological Ethics. I just finished reading it. In a few weeks a good friend and colleague told me they will be "coming out" and sharing their story as a transgender person. I pray the Church is loving, that everyone is loving. Anything less is sin.
