25th Sunday of Ordinary Time
http://www.usccb.org/nab/091805.htm “Going out about five oclock, the landowner found others standing around, and said to them, Why do you stand here idle all day? They answered, Because no one has hired us.” Often when I’m reading a familiar passage of scripture, some part of it will jump out at me which has never really struck…

The days just keep on getting sadder…
I grieve for Matty and Jared, both way too young to die. I knew Matty pretty well, and worked directing the contemporary choir with him last spring. He was talented, energetic and bright, and will be a loss to his archdiocese. I also grieve for Rob and Mark, who have minor physical wounds but other…

Is it only Wednesday?!
These first few days have seemed like an eternity. We’ve had classes (yes on Labor Day too, and neither of the professors I had on that day beleived in a brief lecture for the first day), and far too many meetings. We had our third annual liturgy meeting yesterday (translation: “how to go to Mass…

Hurricane Katrina
Being on retreat kept me a bit out of the loop of the disaster in the south at the hands of Hurricane Katrina. They did tell us about it and we kept the people of the south in prayer. It’s just hard to imagine all the death and destruction one storm can…

Being a pastor doesn’t mean you can be an ass.
http://headlines.agapepre…ve/9/22005b.asp New Orleans now is abortion free. New Orleans now is Mardi Gras free. New Orleans now is free of Southern Decadence and the sodomites, the witchcraft workers, false religion — it’s free of all of those things now,” Shanks says. “God simply, I believe, in His mercy purged all of that stuff out of…
