5th Sunday, August 2015

Hi! and happy 5th "family" day to all of us, GUYS.  Our first-thing-first today:
 
THE GOOD NEWS (30 August 2015)
 
          1st Reading  :  Deuteronomy 4:1-8
          Psalm           :  Psalm 15:2-5
          2nd Reading :  James 1:17-27
          Gospel          :  Mark 7:1-23



"Every good and perfect gift comes from above, from the FATHER of LIGHT, in whom there is no change or shadow of a change.  By HIS own will HE gave us life through the Word of Truth, that we might be a kind of offering to HIM among HIS creatures." - James 1:17-18

(Because we are inconstant, James invites us to look to the FATHER who does not change and whose holiness and happiness are touched by nothing.  What an amazing thing:  in HIS eternity, the FATHER enjoys our presence, while we who live in time do not yet know how to focus on HIM.  We must acquire the same firmness and constancy that are in GOD.)
