It's thriving with the marginalized and those whose view of Church is inclusive. These are folks who don't believe adhering to the same ole, same ole, is going to solve any of the crushing problems .... St. Stan's may be just one parish, but it's representative of a very strong undercurrent in Catholicism. An undercurrent which may be finding an authentic voice, finally."<BR/><BR/>Matthew 19 (last Sunday's Gospel):<BR/><I>As they were going out, a demoniac who could not speak was brought to him, and when the demon was driven out the mute person spoke. The crowds were amazed and said, "Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel." But the Pharisees said, "He drives out demons by the prince of demons." Jesus went around to all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and curing every disease and illness. <BR/><BR/>At the sight of the crowds, his heart was moved with pity for them because they were troubled and abandoned, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few; so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest."</I> <BR/> <BR/>Pray for St. Stan's; pray that Christ will open the mouths of the mute and drive out the demons; pray that God will raise up good shepherds. Amen!<BR/><BR/>--John KjmKelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10552857462873824802noreply@blogger.com
