16 Sunday B - Relax in the Lord. The apostles return from their first mission of preaching and healing and report to Jesus. He gathers them in a “deserted” place, but the people find them and keep coming. Even their attempt to escape by boat to the other side of the lake is foiled once word gets out. From the clamor of the marketplace and the demands of our calendars and “to do” lists, we need “deserted,” out-of-the-way places be alone with God, to listen to the quiet of our heart...One morning the membe...

From Father James Gilhooley. The bishop asked the monsignor, How was my homily? The msgr: You were brief. The bp: I try never to be tiresome. The msgr: You were tiresome too.

The answer to our question is to be found in the prayer life of Jesus. 160; A driving-purposed life. From Fr. Tony Kadavil:. The river...

From Fr. Ernest Munachi's Collection:. 1 HOW TO CATCH A MONKEY. African hunters have a clever way of trapping monkeys. They slice a coconut in two, hollow it out, and in one half of the shell cut a hole just big enough for a monkey's hand to pass through.
