God invites you to a feast where there will be choice wines and rich food in verdant pastures near restful waters.  He will wipe away every tear from your eyes.  Will you join him without conditions?  Listen as we hear the readings for this Sunday

Sour grapes.  This week's readings are interesting in that it raises the question of what can make us go against God's commands.  What produces sour grapes in God's vineyard and how we can change that.  This is timely as the Synod is also trying to address the same issue through prayer, listening, and walking together with compassion. 

Our Lord never tires of calling people to conversion. Every moment of our life is an opportune moment to listen to him and do his will. He calls us not just to ''talk our talk" but "walk our talk."

Forgiveness ... such a hard word but we all need it. It is like the air we breathe. Come join us to see how this week's readings help us to forgive and to receive forgiveness from one another.

Through Christ and in Christ, God reconciles us to himself, and gives us the ministry of reconciliation.

Whatever your race, whatever your condition in life, rich or poor, happy or sad,  God wants to give you his peace of mind if only you follow him.  He is extending his hands to you now as you read this.  Rest in his yolk.   

How fragile we are ... When we are down and in trouble, God is always there to handhold us if we let him.  Hear it first hand from Elijah, Peter and Paul. Grace be with you.

The Lord knows our road in life is not always easy and filled with twists and turns but he asks you to let him be your light shining in the dark. He assures us that the day will come when the morning star rises in your hearts. Until then, transform to be the butterfly you are meant to be.
