Listening With Love

Contributed by Fr. Rian Adams on Dec 22, 2019

Sermon for Advent 4, Year A. Sermon contrasts how Joseph could have treated Mary and how he actually acted toward her. Mary has a story (and thus Jesus) because Joseph listened with love and showed mercy.

Preparing for 2020: Listening with Love I feel for Joseph. Not only because he’s often overlooked, but in some ways I understand what it’s like to be Joseph.

Pentecost, The Forgotten Celebration

Contributed by Tim Melton on Mar 22, 2021

When is Pentecost? . . . Silence. . . It is interesting how we believe in the trinity and we celebrate ...read more
