Jesus confronts His own death in the destruction of the temple.

Remembering 40 years of Stewardship in our parish as we look towards our own commitment and response in gratitude for what God has given us.

God does not look upon anything with disgust and can not look upon anyone in hate, as it is against His nature. God never calls us by our sins; He calls us by our name.

In difficult times do we dispair or do we turn to God?

Will there by anyone to run out and meet Christ when He comes again? We must ask our Lord, to deepen our faith.

Love is a gift that we need to recognize and thank God for each day. As we realize that everything is a gift from God, we can then respond in an attitude of thanksgiving.

God knew exactly what would happen, and yet he healed all ten.

Who is God calling you to serve? We not only have to look at how we can serve our neighbors in ministry, but also recognize that we have to treat everyone with the dignity God demands. Our neighbor includes the immigrants.

The Mercy of the Father in the parable of the prodigal son stands in contrast to this weekend's Gospel. However, we must acknowledge the importance of recognizing our sins, repenting, and turning back to God.

Joseph in the Old Testament helps us understand this challenging parable.
