Saw this video from Bishop Robert Barron that expounds on last Sunday's Gospel message. Thanks to Brother Tim for bringing it our attention. (Ryan Kraemer, Executive Secretary)

You Are the Salt of the Earth - Bishop Barron's Sunday Sermon Friends, we are reading from the marvelous Sermon on the Mount in the Gospel of Matthew. This week, we hear Jesus compare his disciples to three things: the ...

This was sent to the office. A good read.

Why go to Church?

Why go to Church? I think this is fantastic and I just love the guy's answer and the interpretation for the word BIBLE. Enjoy and pass it on.

If you're spiritually alive, you're going to like this! If you're spiritually dead, you won't want to read it. If you're spiritually curious, there is still hope!

A Church-goer wrote a letter to the editor of a newspaper and complained that it made no sense to go to church every Sunday. He wrote: "I've gone for 30 years now, and in that time I have heard something like 3,000 sermons, but for the life of me, I can't remember a single one of them. So, I think I'm wasting my time, the preachers and priests are wasting theirs by giving sermons at all."

This started a real controversy in the "Letters to the Editor" column. Much to the delight of the editor, it went on for weeks until someone wrote this clincher: "I've been married for 30 years now. In that time my wife has cooked some 32,000 meals. But, for the life of me, I cannot recall the entire menu for a single one of those meals. But I do know this: They all nourished me and gave me the strength I needed to do my work. If my wife had not given me these meals, I would be physically dead today; likewise, if I had not gone to church for nourishment, I would be spiritually dead today!"

When you are DOWN to nothing, God is UP to something! Faith sees the invisible, believes the incredible & receives the impossible! Thank God for our physical and our spiritual nourishment! IF YOU CANNOT SEE GOD IN ALL, YOU CANNOT SEE GOD AT ALL !

B. I. B L. E. simply means: Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth!

When you are about to forward this to others, the devil might discourage you. So go on—forward this to people who are DEAR to you and TRUST GOD.

The Winnipeg Free Press took this picture while driving around the Assiniboine Park Saturday. Facebook is going wild asking who are these Knights of Columbus.
