What sign can you do?

Posted by on
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,

A trivial weekend.

Posted by on
This weekend we hosted our 2nd Annual Trivia Night at our local parish.  This fun evening is a fundraiser to send parish youth to the Catholic Youth Summer Camp (CYSC) and is well received.  

Nearly 100 friends competed for the coveted Trivia Night T-shirts and bragging rights.  Fr. William Hahn was the guest emcee and did a great job.  This year's event helped us raise nearly $2,200 that will help send the kids to camp.

The trivia didn't stop on Saturday night though.  My kids wanted to compete for candy and prizes so we continued the weekend with Trivial Pursuit, coffee, brownies and candy on Sunday after Mass.  

"Do you play with your children? Do you waste time with your children?  The free gift of a parent’s time is so important." - Pope Francis
