TWENTY FIFTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME


The TXT pinged onto my cell phone while we were at dinner Wednesday night.  Clare didn’t open it until we had finished eating.  And then, the laughter began.  I was called over to look, and the laughter got louder. 

The TXT was from our Catie and read like this:  “Hudson wants to know if Jesus has to brush his teeth . . . “  (Hudson, of course, is grandson #1.)

There was a big laugh in Hudson’s question.  But something much more.  There was a hope that the answer he would receive would be something he could put his faith in.  Hudson was not afraid to ask his question; in fact, he was confident in his questioning.  Because the hope and faith he has is born of an unquestioning love in the one he questions.  That’s what makes him a child.

And that is the child Jesus is talking about in today’s gospel—the child each of us must become—with hope and faith born of an unquestioning love in the One we question.

First Grade Mass
&
Open House
This Sunday, at the 10 AM Mass, we welcome all of our First Graders and their families.  Their special participation in Sunday Eucharist is the best way possible to begin KidsRelig.  After all, what is KidsRelig?   It is coming to know, love and serve the Lord.  And how can we do this, unless we meet Him?  And how do we meet Him?  In Eucharist!
