- [5.24.26 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/5-24-26-bulletin/) - What is preventing you from using the gifts that the Lord has given you through the Holy Spirit? John writes that Jesus breathed on his disciples Easter night and gave them power to teach, heal, and forgive beyond their fears and regrets: Luke would describe it as a roaring wind or tongues of fire...and don’t we need that same impulse today? And notice that the young are responding. We wear red to celebrate the birthday of the church and the 200th anniversary of St. Mary on the Lower East Side teaching, healing, and forgiving.
- [5.17.26 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/5-17-26-bulletin/) - This week the Capuchin brothers of the Province of St. Mary of New York and New England meet in chapter to elect new leadership and to continue in the footprints of Jesus Christ as did our beloved Father Francis of Assisi. We thank you for praying for us! This week we celebrate the 200-year anniversary of the Church of Saint Mary following those same footprints that brought so many faithful followers to the City of New York.
- [5.10.26 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/5-10-26-bulletin/) - How do you envision the Holy Spirit - fire, wind, or a dove? Jesus promised to send the Holy Spirit, the very inner life that He and the Father have for each other. This Advocate always leads to unity and not division despite the many distortions and divisions of the past 2000 years.

- [4.26.26 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/4-26-26-bulletin/) - The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want. That is quite a statement that admits to our being weak and defenseless sheep that depend on our ability to follow a trustworthy guide.
- [4.19.26 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/4-19-26-bulletin/) - Christ has risen! Truly He has risen! Notwithstanding our inclinations and pet projects, our one mission on this earth is to proclaim that the Christ was sent among us, was crucified, but then raised again, and is present in the breaking of the bread, AKA the Eucharist
- [4.12.26 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/4-12-26-bulletin/) - On this Octave of Easter, Divine Mercy Sunday celebrated since the year 2000 by Pope St. John Paul II, of happy memory, we hear the familiar story of Thomas who though not present initially, and judged to be a doubter, comes to the greatest profession of faith in the New Testament, “My Lord and My God.”
- [4.5.26 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/4-5-26-bulletin/) - Alleluia, Jesus is risen! The Prince of Peace gives us hope amid our suffering that beyond Jellybeans, bunnies, and video games, the resurrection of Christ Jesus challenges the way we organize our lives and world.

Those words would stop me in my tracks and cause me to wonder.
- [3.15.26 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/3-15-26-bulletin/) - Too often we feel that we are inadequate to the task at hand in this life. Perhaps we “see” so many talented people doing amazing things with the gifts with which they are blessed.
- [3.8.26 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/3-8-26-bulletin/) - A simple conversation at the well with an unlikely person, a pariah in her community, causes the Samaritan woman to begin to share her testimony of the Messiah, Christ Jesus who engages her and challenges her to live a moral life.
- [3.1.26 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/3-1-26-bulletin/) - Our holy Father, Pope Leo has invited us this Lent on a journey like that of Abram in Genesis, to leave our personal comfort zones and to listen to the truth of reality through God’s word especially opened to us when we fast for then we hunger and thirst for justice.
- [2.22.26 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/2-22-26-bulletin/) - Solanus Casey, OFM Cap writes, “Blessed be God in all his designs”: From the beginning, God the Father planned to rescue us from the triple concupiscence of sin: lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, that goes before the fall.
- [2.15.26 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/2-15-26-bulletin/) - Sirach writes, “Before man are life and death, good and evil, whichever he chooses shall be given him.” The decision for or against a good deed occurs long before the act deep within the human heart. Jesus came to fulfill the Law and the Prophets through his incarnation and resurrection inviting us to become new creations, a beacon of hope in the world.
- [2.8.26 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/2-8-26-bulletin/) - After the beatitudes last week, the gospel says: You are salt, light, and a city on a hill! Jesus is calling you and me to flavor our world, to help others see, and to serve as guideposts to others. The need is great today as we are pushed to treat others as objects, while our social skills wane, and artificial intelligence begins to replace authentic interpersonal relationships.
- [2.1.26 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/2-1-26-bulletin/) - Do you want to be happy? The world is full of people trying to sell us something that promises to make us happy, but it never lasts. In contrast, St. Matthew has a 5-page recipe for happiness and joy that lasts forever called the Sermon on the Mount.
- [1.25.26 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/1-25-26-bulletin/) - Zebulun and Naphtali, though meaningless names to us today, are two of the lost tribes whom God used to save his people from the powerful Midianites in the book of Judges chapter 7. There the Lord instructed that in the middle of the night, they surround the enemy, smash clay pots, light the torches and thus rout the overwhelming foe.
- [1.18.26 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/1-18-26-bulletin/) - The Church doesn’t have a mission; the Church is a mission. Isaiah the prophet writes: It is too little, the LORD says, for you to be my servant, to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and restore the survivors of Israel; I will make you a light to the nations, that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth.
- [1.4.26 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/1-4-26-bulletin/) - The Epiphany or manifestation of Christ to the world is celebrated on the 12th day of Christmas, when we exchange gifts following the example of the Magi in Matthew’s gospel. Traveling from the East, they followed a star and placed their gifts at the feet of the child king only to return to their lands with truth to enlighten their paths.
- [1.11.26 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/1-11-26-bulletin/) - Most of us received baptism before we can remember, and so take it for granted. St. Proclus from the 5th century writes, Come, consider this new and wonderful deluge, greater and more important than the flood of Noah’s day.
- [12.28.25 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/12-28-25-bulletin/) - Our psalmist writes, “Blessed are those who fear the Lord”. The word fear might be better replaced by the word awe: Blessed are those who stand in awe of the Lord. It is a sense of awe that strikes us as we consider God becoming one of us in Christ and submitting himself to his human parents, Mary and Joseph.
- [12.25.25 Merry Christmas](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/12-25-25-merry-christmas/) - 200 Years of Christmas at St. Mary’s
- [12.21.25 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/12-21-25-bulletin/) - As our Advent time of waiting for Christ draws to a close, the church gives us Matthew’s account this year of how the incarnation came about through the line of David. Though not a king, Joseph, unlike Ahaz in the first reading, hears the word of God and trusts in Him.
- [12.14.25 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/12-14-25-bulletin/) - We find it difficult to wait, like a farmer awaits the precious yield of the soil. We like immediate results. John the Baptist who called us to conversion last week, now wonders aloud from a prison cell whether Jesus is the long-awaited Christ.
- [12.7.25 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/12-7-25-bulletin/) - Repent and believe, cries the Baptist! Though we naturally shy away from change, even the cells in our physical bodies that die change completely every seven years. How much more ought we engage life-giving change in our eternal spiritual lives?
- [11.30.25 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/11-30-25-bulletin/) - We have just celebrated Thanksgiving with family and friends as we kick off the holiday season. These four weeks of Advent are a time of waiting for the Lord who came 2000 years ago, who will come for each of us, and yet, challenges us by coming each moment of every day.
- [11.23.25 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/11-23-25-bulletin/) - 100 years ago today, Pope Pius XI proposed Jesus Christ King of the Universe as the last Sunday of the liturgical year. After the experience of the Great War, now known as World War I, he noted that Christian nations had thrust Jesus Christ out of their personal and political lives.
- [11.16.25 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/11-16-25-bulletin/) - The ominous tones of the readings point to the end of the liturgical year, for indeed next week is the Feast of Christ the King, the One of whom Malachi writes will arrive with healing in his rays.
- [11.9.25 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/11-9-25-bulletin/) - Today we celebrate the dedication of the first legally built church, commissioned in Rome after the edict of Milan decriminalized Christianity, called the basilica of the Most Holy Savior also known as St John Lateran.
- [11.2.25 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/11-2-25-bulletin/) - Remembering our loved ones on this celebration of All Souls Day, reminds us of the greatness of our God who would use you and me, to remember and pray for those who have gone on ahead of us and await the kingdom.
- [10.26.25 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/10-26-25-bulletin/) - Last week in Luke’s travel narrative, we learned that we ought to pray and not lose heart. This week Jesus uses the beloved and faith-filled Pharisee and the despised tax collector to warn us to neither think of ourselves as righteous, nor despise others as inferior to us.
- [10.19.25 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/10-19-25-bulletin/) - Do you ever find that irritating interruption returns you to what the Lord intends? We have our plans for each day of the week, and then the Lord sends us someone needing attention, who stops us from completing our task to help them.
- [10.12.25 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/10-12-25-bulletin/) - As the harvest is gathered and the weather turns colder, we give thanks to God for the fruits of the earth and the many benefits of life that we often take for granted. But how about giving thanks to God that we even exist?
- [10.5.25 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/10-5-25-bulletin/) - “If today you hear his voice, harden not your heart.” When bad things happen, we might think that we are forgotten, or somehow outside of God’s will for us. But suffering comes to all. We can choose to go through suffering and learn, or we can stomp our feet and become resentful, indignant, and mean spirited towards others.
- [9.28.25 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/9-28-25-bulletin/) - “Time keeps on slipping into the future,” says an old song. The God of Abraham calls you and me to a covenant that not only puts God first but also calls us to notice and care for the poor and needy. Like the rich man, we can be too preoccupied to take the time to notice who is at our doorstep.
- [9.21.25 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/9-21-25-bulletin/) - The parable of the dishonest steward reminds us that we must put first things first. Knowing that his service was coming to an end, he started to plan for the future, stretching the boundaries of what was acceptable, to accomplish his goal. Jesus gives him credit for doing just that.
- [9.14.25 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/9-14-25-bulletin/) - Many Christians are worried about worshiping graven images and idols, but the scriptures today show something different. Perhaps in a desire to hide our worship of idols we rail against images like the cross and statues of saints. What or who do you really worship?
- [9.7.25 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/9-7-25-bulletin/) - Are you “all in” as a Catholic Chrier Him to your mother, father, brothers, sisters. He says my yoke is easy and my burden light; but that only happens when you put the Lord first in your life.
- [8.31.25 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/8-31-25-bulletin/) - Our identity and dignity as human beings is based on our creation in the image and likeness of God. In humility we acknowledge that we are dust of the earth filled with the breath of God that gives us intrinsic value, based not on what others think of us or the number of “likes” we receive from others.
- [8.24.25 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/8-24-25-bulletin/) - To the question, “Will many people be saved?” Jesus responds, “strive to enter through the narrow gate.” To strive means to make great efforts to obtain something. Do you make great efforts to hear the word of God and act on it?
- [8.17.25 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/8-17-25-bulletin/) - The author of Hebrews describes us as running a race and if you are lagging: #1 Remember that you are surrounded by a cloud of witnesses; we call it the Communion of Saints.
- [8.10.25 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/8-10-25-bulletin/) - What is faith? Beyond intellectual assent, faith means putting your trust in God into action that changes everything. Abraham, in a foreshadowing of Jesus’ sacrifice on Mount Calvary, has Isaac carry the wood up the mountain, who then lays down his life on that firewood, as a sacrifice.
- [8.3.25 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/8-3-25-bulletin/) - Once every three years we hear the parable of the rich fool, who is selfishly concerned only with himself, and focuses on what does not last. Our sinful tendencies need instruction and discipline that come through spiritual practices. If you were to die today, what would matter most to you and your loved ones?
- [7.27.25 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/7-27-25-bulletin/) - What’s in a person’s heart? You and I can never know another’s motivations, but the Lord God, who outside of space and time, does. God knows what we need and even our destiny.
- [7.20.25 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/7-20-25-bulletin/) - Henry Nouwen writes that hospitality means primarily the creation of a free space where the stranger can enter and become a friend instead of an enemy.
- [7.13.25 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/7-13-25-bulletin/) - Doing the right thing seems difficult; Moses in Deuteronomy says that it is already written in our hearts. It’s not a matter of greater knowledge nor of our will power, but only desire. What do you desire more than life itself? If the Lord God is your desire, you will love him, and that love will change your behavior.
- [7.6.25 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/7-6-25-bulletin/) - As we celebrate the freedom of Independence Day, we acknowledge that there is no greater freedom than that of the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. We become a new creation as we share the peace and mercy of the gospel with those around us.
- [6.22.25 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/6-22-25-bulletin/) - Give them some food yourselves, says the Lord in St. Luke’s gospel. You and I are called to give others ‘something’ that is, a someone, to eat.
- [6.29.25 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/6-29-25-bulletin/) - The two pillars of the Church: Peter, one of the twelve and a simple fisherman, immediately dropped his nets on hearing Jesus say, follow me. Peter didn’t calculate and think before he acted or spoke and didn’t allow excuses to delay him.
- [6.15.25 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/6-15-25-bulletin/) - “…then was I beside him as his craftsman,” the author of the Book of Wisdom writes to describe Jesus at the time of creation, or perhaps it is the Love that, St. Paul writes, has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit.
- [6.8.25 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/6-8-25-bulletin/) - Happy 199th anniversary St. Mary Church and Happy Pentecost! Holy Spirit, show us what is right and give us the strength and courage to do it!
- [6.1.25 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/6-1-25-bulletin/) - Congratulations to our First Communicants and to our Confirmandi in receiving their sacraments this month! A big thank you to all our catechists in our religious education program.
- [5.25.25 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/5-25-25-bulletin/) - The controversial question that had to be put to rest in the first reading, is an example of the action of the Holy Spirit that Jesus promised in the Gospel.
- [5.18.25 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/5-18-25-bulletin/) - Jesus is glorified by suffering and dying on the cross for us. We need to learn to go beyond fear and love one another as Christ loves us. The new commandment is so simple yet so difficult. Love one another as I have loved you. Be humble enough to reconsider, and to try again. You and I, like Pope Leo, are a living advertisement for the love of God.
- [5.11.25 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/5-11-25-bulletin/) - “My sheep hear my voice; I know them, and they follow me.” That inner voice through which the Holy Spirit speaks to each of us and to the whole body, as in the conclave in Rome, reminds us that we are not left to fend for ourselves.
- [5.4.25 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/5-4-25-bulletin/) - The conclave will meet to elect the one to follow our beloved Pope Francis, who as the 266th leader in the shoes of St. Peter died last week at the age of 88. After denying the Lord, Peter, as the servant of the servants of God, was called to feed his lambs and sheep.
- [4.27.25 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/4-27-25-bulletin/) - How are you doing? Fine, we always say. Shame and fear might keep the doors of our hearts tightly closed, keeping us isolated. But Jesus, the Lord of life, enters through locked doors.
- [4.20.25 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/4-20-25-bulletin/) - St. Paul proclaims 20 years after the death and resurrection of the Lord: “For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.” What has the Lord God given you in your hidden life with Him? Today all Catholic Christians renew their commitment to the Lord through baptism when we die with Christ, and each “I do,” is a renewed commitment to living resurrected life in the Lord Jesus.
- [4.13.25 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/4-13-25-bulletin/) - St. Paul writes that Jesus, in obedience to the will of his Father, doesn’t seek what is comfortable but conforms himself to his imminent suffering and death on the cross. He trusts that his heavenly Father will bring about good from what appears evil.
- [4.6.25 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/4-6-25-bulletin/) - Jesus bends over and writes into the dust of the earth, dissipating the chaos and screams swirling around the woman caught in adultery. People will always use others to make their point and win the argument, often out of jealousy, hurt feelings, or pride. Jesus the Word wants to write something completely new in your life.
- [3.30.25 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/3-30-25-bulletin/) - We read today of the prodigal son, but the parable might better be named the indulgent Father from whom nothing can separate us. His holiness, Pope Francis has invited us to ponder this indulgent love during this Jubilee year of hope.
- [3.23.25 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/3-23-25-bulletin/) - There is a sense of urgency in today’s readings, both in the fig tree being given one more season, and in St. Paul’s reminding us of the insecurity of our personal standing in this world. Repent and convert or face the likelihood of perishing, but also keep in mind that the owner of the garden is also the One who cultivates and prunes that we might come to fruition.
- [3.16.25 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/3-16-25-bulletin/) - The smoking fire pot and burning torch seal the deal in the first covenant with Abraham. The blinding light that knocks Saul down and lovingly sets him on a new path as missionary to the Gentiles, like the Transfiguration of the Lord, reveals the one who from before and within, calls us his sons and daughters.
- [3.9.25 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/3-9-25-bulletin/) - “Jesus, after 40 days in the desert, experienced the temptations we all face yet did not fall. Notice that He cites the bible in his encounter with temptation. Wrestling with pleasure, honor, glory, and wealth pursues us all the days of our life. The three-prong strategy of Lent, prayer, fasting and abstinence, plus almsgiving, however, are keys to discipleship in the Lord.
- [3.2.25 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/3-2-25-bulletin/) - “From the fullness of the heart the mouth speaks,” reminds me of a guided walk through an obstacle course on a youth retreat. The guide gives verbal instructions to the blindfolded person as the rest of the group together communicate messages that both help and hinder the one who must discern the correct next step.
- [2.23.25 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/2-23-25-bulletin/) - The first sentence of the Catechism of the Catholic Church states that “God, infinitely perfect and blessed in Himself, in a plan of sheer goodness freely created man to make him share in his own blessed life.”
- [2.16.25 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/2-16-25-bulletin/) - The first sentence of the Catechism of the Catholic Church states that “God, infinitely perfect and blessed in Himself, in a plan of sheer goodness freely created man to make him share in his own blessed life.”
- [2.9.25 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/2-9-25-bulletin/) - I remember the night that God called me to the priesthood; after overcoming my misgivings, I said yes, and then sensed his tremendous peace. Isaiah writing about his call says, woe is me for I am doomed having seen the living God.
- [2.2.25 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/2-2-25-bulletin/) - The Feast of the Presentation of the Lord does not often fall on a Sunday when most Catholics attend mass. Here the Lord is presented in the temple to be consecrated as the first born, and Mary his mother, following the Jewish prescriptions, to be purified 40 days after childbirth.
- [1.26.25 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/1-26-25-bulletin/) - The world around us is swirling in the opposite direction, yet we are sons and daughters of the Lord called like Jesus to stand in public and proclaim the year acceptable to the Lord.
- [1.19.25 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/1-19-25-bulletin/) - St. Augustine, in writing about the water turned wine at Cana, remarks that for the Christian who knows of the wonders of God, this should come as no surprise, as the Lord God does this every year in vines.
- [1.12.25 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/1-12-25-bulletin/) - I’m always edified when we touch our fingers to the holy water, and bless ourselves in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
- [1.5.25 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/1-5-25-bulletin/) - Epiphany is three celebrations in one! First, it celebrates the manifestation of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles after his birth by the visitation of the three pagan Magi from the East, also known to us as the three kings, who through the virgin Mary encounter Christ for the first time as an infant. This expression of universality was the Christmas celebration of the Eastern or Greek church introduced into the Latin or Roman Rite in the 6th century.
- [12.29.24 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/12-29-24-bulletin/) - Jesus was born into a Jewish family that often moved because of economic or political reasons from Bethlehem of Judea to Nazareth, and to Egypt, and back again. And like the millions around the world migrating today, family bonds hold us together.
- [12.22.24 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/12-22-24-bulletin/) - Next August 8th – 10th, 2025, you are welcome to join us on a pilgrimage to Detroit where the now Blessed Solanus Casey is buried. He arrived for the first time at St. Bonaventure Monastery in Detroit on December 24, 1896, on a snowy Christmas Eve and was shown to a small room containing a bed, a desk, and a chair. He stretched himself out on the bed and fell fast asleep.
- [12.15.24 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/12-15-24-bulletin/) - St. Paul writes, “Rejoice in the Lord always, I say it again rejoice!” Today, we light the rose-colored candle on our advent wreath on our journey toward the birth of the One who John the Baptist says will baptize us with fire.
- [12.8.24 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/12-8-24-bulletin/) - Do you ever feel like you are barking up the wrong tree? If John the Baptist is the voice crying out in the wilderness for us to change our hearts, Jesus is the Word he speaks that liberates us today from the captivity of our own making.
- [12.1.24 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/12-1-24-bulletin/) - Today, the first Sunday of Advent, we begin the gospel of mercy, St. Luke who invites us to watch and wait. When we learn to patiently wait, though the world be spinning around us, we foster a greater appreciation and peace in daily life.
- [11.24.24 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/11-24-24-bulletin/) - Jesus Christ king of the universe, unlike earthly royalty, is unlimited in his ability to resolve the crises of our world.
- [11.17.24 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/11-17-24-bulletin/) - Jesus predicts the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD and the end of time when he said, “…the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will be falling from the sky, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken.”
- [11.10.24 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/11-10-24-bulletin/) - Do you go all in for the Lord? Or do you hold back, worried that He might not give you what you need or desire? The Lord God has given all for you, laying down his life for us in Jesus Christ.

- [10.27.24 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/10-27-24-bulletin/) - Outside the Jericho city gate, Jesus says, “what is it that you want me to do for you? Bartimaeus responds, “Lord, I want to see.” Well then see, Jesus says, “your faith has saved you.” In scripture, blindness refers to lack of faith.
- [10.20.24 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/10-20-24-bulletin/) - Famous sports figures like Leo Messi are named GOAT – the Greatest of All Time. And we, like James and John, who ask Jesus to take places of honor in his kingdom, also desire to be remembered as ‘great’ in some way.
- [10.13.24 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/10-13-24-bulletin/) - Does it matter what I do with my time, talent, and treasure? Leading a meaningful life is dependent on using these for the kingdom and our gospel today reminds us that our eternal destiny is at stake. But more immediately, living in the kingdom means recognizing its seeds all around us here and now.
- [10.6.24 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/10-6-24-bulletin/) - In the spring of 1206, St Francis of Assisi while praying in the tumble down church of San Damiano heard the Lord say, Francis, rebuild my church that as you can see has fallen into ruin.
- [9.29.24 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/9-29-24-bulletin/) - In preparation for our celebration of St. Francis of Assisi on Oct 4th, this is the 800th anniversary of the Stigmata of St. Francis of Assisi 1224-2024.
- [9.22.24 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/9-22-24-bulletin/) - We don’t understand the passion of Jesus Christ. Someone cuts ahead of you in line and you shout, no, me first! Like St. Peter and the disciples, we just don’t get Jesus’ message.
- [9.15.24 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/9-15-24-bulletin/) - The prophet Isaiah writes: the Lord GOD is my help; therefore, I am not disgraced. Can I say the same?
- [9.8.24 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/9-8-24-bulletin/) - “Ephphatha!”— that is, “Be opened!” People brought a man who was deaf with a speech impediment to Jesus. He healed him to the amazement of all. In Christ, the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, yet many could not believe what they saw and heard.
- [9.1.24 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/9-1-24-bulletin/) - We now turn from our 5-week summer discourse on the bread of life to the essence of the law and prophets, that is the law of love: you will love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul and all your might, and Jesus would later add, you will love your neighbor as yourself.
- [6.23.24 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/6-23-24-bulletin/) - We have all known the storms of life: an accident, a chronic illness, a painful separation, an abuse of trust, or a death that tosses us into the dark waters that threaten to overwhelm us. We do have a choice in these situations; we can complain and blame, or we can trust the one who never abandons and calls us through his own life, death, and resurrection to enter the mystery of divine love that suffering breaks open.
- [8.4.24 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/8-4-24-bulletin/) - The Israelites grumbled to Moses about the quail and manna that they ate in the desert during the Exodus. Jesus says that it was his heavenly Father who gave them the true bread from heaven. Are you thankful, or do you grumble about what God has given you or your neighbor?
- [7.7.24 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/7-7-24-bulletin/) - We are all preachers and receivers of the word of God. The prophet Ezequiel and St. Paul had difficulty preaching; even Jesus would not force people to open themselves to the word.
- [8.25.24 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/8-25-24-bulletin/) - In our first reading, Joshua says, “decide today whom you shall serve.” The gift of autonomy, to decide for ourselves, is fundamental to being created in the image and likeness of God.
- [5.5.24 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/5-5-24-bulletin/) - May is the month of Mary, when we celebrate the woman who said yes, making possible the birth of God into our world of blood, sweat, and tears.

- [5.26.24 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/5-26-24-bulletin/) - Unlike other celebrations, the feast of the Holy Trinity is the celebration of mystery that, while breaking the rules of logic, proclaims that God is one, yet three.
- [8.18.24 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/8-18-24-bulletin/) - Today the Wisdom of God manifests itself in the community of believers who spent time with Christ Jesus, saw his death, experienced his resurrection and ever since gathered on the resurrection day of the Lord, what we call Sunday, to break the bread, read from the scriptures, and to become the very Lord that they received.
- [8.11.24 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/8-11-24-bulletin/) - We share the body and blood of the Lord Jesus at mass who says, “I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world.”
- [7.28.24 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/7-28-24-bulletin/) - Today we begin a 5 week stretch of readings from the Bread of Life discourse in Chapter 6 of John’s Gospel.

Unbelievers ask if He is the “Son of God.” Disciples call him “Lord. “ In trial he is examined if he is the “Christ” of God or the king of the Jews. Jesus is spoken in narrative form 10 times and only once by name from the good thief. We witness, therefore, with our palms that he is “Lord.” But in mercy we call out to him using his holy name Jesus...

- [2.13.22 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/2-13-22-bulletin/) - The Sermon from the Plain. Jesus fixes is eyes on his disciples and this great opening statement about the reign of God asks his disciples to draw happiness from this future event when in His mercy and love all will be made manifest.

- [1.9.22 Bulletin](https://www.saintmarygrand.org/1-9-22-bulletin/) - Baptism of the Lord. In Luke’s Gospel God the Father speaks directly to his Son: “You are my beloved son. With you I am well pleased.” Later, in the Transfiguration the Father speaks from a cloud to his disciple: “This is my beloved son, listen to him.” The love of the Father for the Son, the outpouring of the Holy Spirit swirl around the meaning of baptism: the inner working of the trinitarian godhead. It is the taking flesh, its humility, with which the Father is well pleased. It bodes well for us that we are made to receive and to be filled with God in our humanity.

The love of Christ is the power of living in Him. The life of holiness could be felt by St. Peter in the first the pull of the nets. All things work to the good when unfettered from sin and death. Leaving the nets should be the first call of Christian life, specifically for the young to be supported and encouraged to consider religious life.
