2 Thes 3:7-12 Lk 21:5-19
Jesus teaches that his disciples will be persecuted as a necessary prelude to the parousia. Through their perseverance, they will emerge victorious when the Lord comes again. As we wait the Day, let us conscientiously fulfill our Christian obligations.
Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but
not one amend, that you comb through annals of history but not a single
annal? If you have a bunch of odds and
ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it?
Let Us Pray…Let us pray for hearts hardened against receiving the truth that abortion takes a human life.
Testifying at one of the trials
challenging the constitutionality of the law forbidding partial birth
abortions, the world’s foremost authority on pain in the fetus and newborn
baby, Dr. Kanwaljeet Anand stated that partial birth abortions would cause
“severe and excruciating pain” to fetuses 20 weeks and older.
PLEASE PRAY FOR ALL OF OUR PARISHIONERS who are sick at home, in the hospital or in nursing homes, especially for Bill Fioravant, John Pongratz, Mary Pokotello, Rose Campanero, John & Eileen Foxwell, Sr. Elinor Foxwell, F.M.M., Haley Weber, Cole Nesmith, James Murray (uncle of Karen Mathews), Warren King (father of Karen Mathews), Vincent Anatele, Rose Stevenson, Blanche Ferarro, Ralph Ley, Teresa Kunz, Carol Talnagi, Gladys Quinlin, Adam Platukis, Elizabeth Connelly, Marian Mraz, Vi Konz, Keiko Osborne and Josephine Sarnoski.

GERTRUDE
HAWK CHOCOLATES FOR THE
Have you ever seen a
horseful carriage or a strapful gown? Met a sung hero or experienced requited
love? Have you ever run into someone who was combobulated, gruntled, ruly or
peccable? And where are all those people who ARE spring chickens? You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a
language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in
a form by filling it out and in which an alarm goes off by going on.
English was invented by
people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race (which,
of course, isn't a race at all). That is
why, when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out,
they are invisible. And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it, but when I wind
up this essay, I end it.
