Sunday's Homily Excerpt -

There is a Christian culture about money and material possessions that calls us to give freely and liberally of our money and our possessions to those have less or are in need and to promote the goodness of God in the world. We do not strive to accumulate wealth; rather we strive to be generous. We are not stingy when people ask for help or time; rather we try to say “yes” as much as we can. We are not living for long and luxurious retirement years; rather we are living for an indescribably greater glory in God’s Kingdom to come. We don’t need a mansion in this life; rather we just need a simple home, to have our needs met, plus some leftover to share with others. We have a mansion in heaven. We are not obsessed with coming out on top or things always being fair in life; rather we are called imitate Christ who gave His life for us.” - Fr. Marc Dunaway, October 4, 2026-

Excerpts from Christian writers Past and Present

God is love, and He can only be known and contemplated by love and in love; that is why the commandments of Christ, which lead to the knowledge and contemplation of God are commandments of love. - Saint Sophrony of Essex, pg 23 Truth and Life
