Mark + Good News + St Francis
MASS – (Fr Joseph) — today is the feast of St Mark the Evangelist. In today’s Gospel, Jesus tells the apostles, “Go into the whole world and proclaim the Gospel to every creature. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved; whoever does not believe will be condemned…”
[wine silo]
When we preach, we need to find the Good News for other, not just talk at people with facts and research, but truely connect to make Christ alive through our actions and witness. As St Francis said, “Preach the Gospel to others … if necessary use words.”
compline + Our Lady of Guadalupe
In this Jubilee Year of the Archdiocese of Miami, there are 2 paintings of Our Lady of Guadalupe traveling throughout the diocese spend a week in each. This week, St John Vianney College Seminary has one.
