What sign can you do?

John 6:30-35 If I wasn't in the same boat as these sinners following Jesus I would probably be laughing right in their face. I often wonder how Jesus kept from rolling on the grass laughing at what some people do. Today we hear the crowd ask Him, "What sign can you do, that we may see and believe in you? What can you do?..." Is this not the same crowd who in verse 2 we are told - "followed him, because they saw the signs he was performing on the sick ."? Are these not the same people who in verse 14 " when they saw the sign he had done, they said, "This is truly the Prophet, the one who is to come into the world."? Yet still they seek a sign. However, they are not seeking a sign so that they might believe, they are wanting to be fed. Jesus worked a "sign" with the loaves and the fishes and now they want Him to do it again. Wisely, Jesus is using their bellies to get to their hearts; He is using earthly things to move them,

Happy 2nd Birthday, Catherine!

She's so lucky to be part of a large family to constantly stimulate her.

The Hahn family is a true inspiration to all of us, just knowing that familes in the true sense still exist, is not only heartwarming, it its Gods poetry in action.

I can only hope and pray that God in his infinte goodness may lead me to do that which he chooses as best, I would love a 'unit of love' of my own one day, either as a Priest with spiritual children, or actualy raising citizens for heaven!

May God in his love, continue to bless you and may his divine Mother hold you close always.

In Christ and our Good Mother
