Now that the Easter Season and the various Feasts and Solemnities that follow it are almost over (Feast of St. Peter and Paul this weekend), we can now get back to Ordinary Time and take a small breather! We are back to the Gospel of Matthew as we continue the Cycle A readings. Matthew is written primarily to a Jewish audience hoping that they will follow and learn from the true Messiah. We will be reading from Matthew until the season of Advent begins on November 30th. It's hard to believe that it is less than six months before Christmas! Maybe I will get my shopping done early this year!
As you can see, our building is going up quickly. I am told we are right on schedule (Easter 2015) despite the rains, and when the walls go up the real exciting part begins! Keep praying for the safety of the workers and the success of our building campaign.
As an added benefit, the 4th of July is on a Friday this year so it makes for a long weekend! Just be careful, we need you here in one piece on Sunday morning!
Well, that is all for now. Enjoy the holiday and be good to one another.
Peace,
Fr. David
