5th SUNDAY OF EASTER (Year C)
Praise the living God in union with our forebears. Join in community and be strengthened in faith, soaked in trust and love for one another.

EASTER DAY (Year C)
when it comes time to let it go, we must let it go, trusting that the resurrection is on-going. We must search with each other for the post-resurrection Jesus, the Christ, and serve him in whomever we meet. We must listen for him to call our name and then we must do the work he has given us to do – all the while proclaiming our Easter reality. … More Alleluia! Chrsit is Risen!
7th SUNDAY OF EASTER (Year B, Mother’s Day)
I think Mother’s Day is religious because it defines for all of us, male and female a calling, a vocation, a ministry. I believe all of us men and women are called to give new life to this world, maybe in the form of a baby, or maybe in the form of a work, or an idea, or an effort that brings life and hope to the world. I believe God means for all of us, women and men, to mother, in the sense of nurturing one another and the world around us. … More Mother’s Day is a religious holiday

In your love and tenderness, remake us. In your compassion, bring grace and forgiveness, For the beauty of heaven, may your love prepare us.” … More Step Over Borders And Push Through Boundaries

4th SUNDAY OF EASTER (Year A)
This is the Church. One body, different parts. And while we mourn the pain the Church has caused us and others, here we are again, through Christ and in the Spirit creating a place for others and ourselves that we can serve and love in all our beautiful messiness. … More Our Origin Story
