6+ min ago (534+ words) NOVEMBER 30, 2025 -- The First Sunday of Advent By Deacon Keith Fournier My friends, brothers, and sisters in the Lord In an Apostolic Letter entitled,"The Lords Day" (Dies Domini),Pope St John Paul II gave a summary of the Christian understanding of Sunday, and underscored our obligation to honor the Lords Day. The Letter began with these words: Sometimes, Catholics and other Christians refer to Sunday as a "Christian Sabbath". Though well intentioned, this is incorrect. Sunday is "the Lords Day". This apostolic letter cites the biblical sources and the writings of the early Church manuals and early Church Fathers. The readings for the Sunday Mass set a framework for us to reflect on throughout the coming week. As Christians, we know He did "tear the heavens" and He came down, into our midst, in the Person of His Beloved Son,…...

6+ min ago (538+ words) 15 'I, Daniel, was deeply disturbed and the visions that passed through my head alarmed me. 16 So I approached one of those who were standing by and asked him about all this. And in reply he revealed to me what these things meant. 17 "These four great beasts are four kings who will rise up from the earth. 18 Those who receive royal power are the holy ones of the Most High, and kingship will be theirs for ever, for ever and ever." 19 Then I asked about the fourth beast, different from all the rest, very terrifying, with iron teeth and bronze claws; it ate its victims, crushed them, and trampled their remains underfoot; 20 and about the ten horns on its head -- and why the other horn sprouted and the three original horns fell, and why this horn had eyes and a mouth…...

6+ min ago (287+ words) I realize that may'sound crazy, but isn't that better'than imposing our sense of time on'God, forcing God to operate in human time?'The natural disasters you list'indeed kill people, injure others, and'destroy vast amounts of property and goods. All of that is regrettable. These disasters, however, reflect'atmospheric conditions'for which'God is ultimately responsible.'Does God decide which person'gets hit by lightning and then dies?'No. Does God decide which thousands'of acres may be destroyed by a'single wildfire? No. Does that then'mean that some parts of God's creation'are beyond divine control? No. Some people use all human suffering'as a reason not to believe in'God'as though God were supremely'indifferent to human suffering.'That is not the God we meet in'God's most trusted self-revelation:'the Bible. The community of faith, however,'identifies the Bible as divine self-revelation;'the Bible does not come'with a table…...
