Some reflections from this Sunday’s sermon by Father Gerry:

  • God loves each and every one of us equally to the maximum, like a father looking at a sleeping child with absolute delight
  • Are you able to love God with your whole heart? Your whole being? And share that same love with your neighbor?
  • Some practical strategies to have a more loving mindset while driving:
    • Flash the peace sign when offended
    • Blow a kiss when betrayed
  • 2 Mother Theresa quotes:
    • It is not enough for us to say I love God, but I also have to love my neighbor. Saint John says that you are a liar if you say you love God, and don’t love your neighbor. How can you love God who you don’t see, if you don’t love your neighbor whom you see,  whom you touch and with whom you live?
    • To show great love for God and our neighbor we need not do great things. It’s how much love we put into the doing that makes our offering something beautiful for God.

Challenge for this week: Do something beautiful for God.

Twenty-Seventh Week in Ordinary Time


Father Gerry’s 50th Anniversary video

We welcome Father Tim, a guest priest, as Father Gerry enjoys a well deserved break. Father Gerry is back this week, and will preside over this weekend’s masses.

Some key points from Father Tim Silver’s sermon based on the Gospel (Matthew 21:33-43): Will you let Jesus into the vineyard of your heart?

  • The fruits that are pleasing to God, the vineyard owner, and is looking to harvest from His vineyard are: joy, peace, love, kindness, modesty, generosity, chastity, faithfulness, and gentleness.
  • The vineyard is the good soil of our hearts.
  • Jesus is there in His work clothes, with tools in hand and team (angels and saints) ready. All to help us cultivate the good fruits (not stink berries) from our hearts .
  • A young musician friend of Father Tim, went to the alpha program in his parish, despite a lot of reservations and hesitation. In Alpha, Father Tim’s friend experienced an epiphany in Jesus and filled with the spirit, is now a leader in the alpha program. Learn more about the alpha program here.
