Message
They said to him, "Rabbi" - which
means Teacher -, "where are you
staying?" He said to them, "Come,
John 1: 35-42
and you will see."
In today's Gospel, the first disciples are invited to look, to
see what is before them, to realize who is in their midst.
The same invitation is extended to us, the disciples of
Jesus in this time and place. Jesus calls us to "come and
see": to realize the presence of God in the goodness and
generosity around us; and to follow him: to focus our
attention on the needs of others rather than our own
wants, to find purpose in bringing joy into the lives of
others rather than in the pursuit of the things the world
deems as important. Christ promises us, if we seek it,
God's grace enabling us to open our eyes and hearts to
behold the life and love of God in our midst.
I would like to clarify that my priestly humor in wishing
Ad Multos Annos to Fr. Phil Hearn, after resigning as our
regional Vicar, may have been misleading to some.
While resigning the Vicar’s post after 12 years may have
reduced his work load slightly, it does not, in anyway,
affect Fr. Hearn’s pastoral commitment to his parish of
St. Mary’s/St. Peter’s or his involvement in our community.
I extend my highest regard and warmest thanks to
Fr. Hearn for his service to our region and sincerely wish
him Ad Multos Annos (to many more years!)

A Family Perspective from the Family Life Education Office
(a Hope Appeal agency)
Jesus’ question in today’s gospel is still valid today: “What
are you looking for?” What do you want from your spouse,
children or parents? Families are populated with imperfect
people. To expect perfection is unreal. To expect and accept
imperfection is wisdom.

stolen jewelry from the late 1800’s. This gold & silver

Western & Eastern treasure magazine and voted as one

you can hear this story and much, much more.
