March 1, 2026: May God’s words be spoken, may God’s words be heard. Amen. It would seem we are once again at war. Yesterday, our country again attacked another country without provocation. In this attack, we teamed with another nation already accused of war crimes. This unconstitutional act, one of many by this President, has and will, kill and injure innocent people. We must all hang our heads in shame, but none more than our Congress, who sits by while this illegal power grab endangers us and other countries around the world. One can only wonder how things might have been had the President not torn apart the 2015 treaty with Iran on nuclear disarmament? And all of it, all this carnage, likely has been done to distract us from what was found to have been removed from the release of the Epstein files. How many more people will have…

February 8, 226: May God’s words be spoken, may God’s words be heard. Amen. You know, when I left Minneapolis and the -35 windchill weather, I did NOT remember packing that cold air to bring back to New Jersey. Lordy!

So, given all the ice that is around these days, on the sidewalks and armed in the street of our cities, I was glad to hear the texts for today. In the…

Tomorrow there’s this pesky groundhog that is supposed to tell us how much winter we have left, and I swear, if that rodent sees his shadow I’m gonna go have a word with him, and it won’t be pretty. This has been a rough winter – bitter cold, lots of snow, and darkness that is cutting us to the core. But the groundhog isn’t the only thing that happens tomorrow. February 2nd is primarily, for catholics, Roman or Anglican anyway, the Feast of the Presentation, which is the final day of Christmas – for real this time – despite the stores telling you that Valentine’s Day goes from December 26th– February 14th. Now, you may have noted that our gospel today is from Luke Chapter 2, and we are clearly still in the birth narrative, as…
