WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 11, 2024 FEAST OF ST. DAMASUS, POPE WE ARE RECEIVING MORE AND MORE SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE TO SHOW THAT MORE DOES NOT MEAN BETTER. More TOYS at Christmas, for example, do not instantly translate into MORE JOY, just as more pieces of CAKE do not instantly translate into PLEASURE. For children, in fact, LOVE and KINDNESS and JOY are the things that create memories that last. Not h...

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 7, 2024 SOMETIMES IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO GET INTO THE "HOLIDAY SPIRIT" WHEN WE ARE BROKEN-HEARTED AND BEATEN DOWN. For those of us who are having difficulty, do not despair. The Lord is ALWAYS NEAR TO those who are broken hearted and overwhelmed. ALWAYS. Fr. Steve Sellers (@FrSteveSellers and www.frstevesellers.com. ) God bless you!

Thank you, too! Blessings to you and your family today and always!
God bless you , Thank you for your messages. Our parish is hosting a hymn sing tonight at our local beer garden 7 years now.
Wonderful! That sounds like a great way to spend a Friday evening in Advent! Have a great time and a blessed weekend!
❤
🙏❤️🙏
God bless you, thank you. I grew up in a community that Advent was to prepare for Christmas and Christmas started Dec 24 and lasted until Jan. 6. My parents and neighbours hosted or visited every day of Christmas .
I am with you! Advent precedes Christmas just as Lent precedes Easter! Unfortunately, our world has gotten too impatient. No one wants to wait for anything these days! Very sad.
God bless you, I really have an issue with the gift exchange. Thank you for your messages.
You are very welcome. Gift-giving is out-of-control. Even children wonder why WE are getting all the presents when it's JESUS'S BIRTHDAY, NOT OURS. Much better to make Christmas cookies and deliver them to neighbors, shut-ins, retirement homes, fire stations. And involve our children and grandchildren.
God bless you, "On Jordan's bank the Baptist's cry announces that the LORD is nigh; awake and hearken, for he brings glad tidings of the King of kings!" great Advent hymn. thank you.
You are very welcome! I have always loved that hymn. Blessings to you and your family today!
Amen! God Bless You ,Father. & Thank for Sharing The Word!🙏😇🤗

Instead of looking for lists, familiarize yourself with the teachings and example of Jesus in the Gospels. Read the Gospels slowly, chapter or less each time, and do it over and over. Don't turn off when the Gospel is read in church. While doing that, put Jesus' teachings and example into practice. There is a plethora of distractions to divert your time. What Father Steve said about returning God's love for us is solid, true. However, in recent years the word "love" has been used to cover up many sins or to excuse them. Jesus' teachings and example show how to apply it and what God meant by it.
Amen! Jesus is the center of everything -- yesterday, today, forever!
❤
🙏🙏❤️❤️
Freezing cold, God bless you, only two things about all lists shortage of time and shortage of resources. One one thing is necessary love GOD.
AMEN! Why waste time looking at lists when we can go straight to the SOURCE! Blessings to you today!
Jesus did give an answer to the question about signs of his advent in the 24th chapter of the Gospel of Matthew. The problem, I suppose, is how some people interpret what he said. Some become raging maniacs, predicting, and missing the verse, "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only."🙄
The Markan version is the Gospel for this Sunday. People are always looking for signs and overlooking the Savior. Always looking for guidelines for prayer and never really praying. Remember the "Decade of Evangelism" in the 1990s? Lots of meetings, workshops, conferences, seminars, retreats, and classes . . . But .... Sigh.
