My name is Fr. Tracy O\u2019Sullivan, O. Carm. My dream late in life is to teach people how to pray. Mature prayer is not about what we want but what an all-loving God wants for us. It is a long journey between our desires and God\u2019s desires. In the end, it is all about true love. Jesus will teach us the way. We learn about Jesus through deep personal prayer. This is what our blog hopes to help you accomplish, walking in love with Jesus.<\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

THE TWENTY EIGHTH SUNDAY OF ORDINARY TIME<\/h5>\t\t\t\t

St. Matthew 22:1-14 Dear Friends, Today\u2019s gospel highlights the call, the invitation to the heavenly wedding feast. In the Bible, the theme of the invitation or call is repeated often. Abraham is the first, then Moses, David and the prophets. In the New Testament it is Peter and the Apostles and finally, Paul. We all join that very prestigious group in our own lives. We are invited to the wedding feast. All are honored guests with whom God will share the heavenly banquet. Everything is ready. Therefore, it is urgent that we attend to God's invitation and resp...<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t

THE TWENTY SEVENTH SUNDAY OF ORDINARY TIMEI<\/h5>\t\t\t\t

Matthew 21:33-43 Dear Friends, Our liturgical year continues to move on. There is no stopping the clock. Our journey with the Gospel of Matthew is moving to its conclusion. In the next few Sundays, we will have selections that highlight two things: Jesus\u2019 conflict with the Jewish leaders and His call to choose life in following in his footsteps.Down through Church history these final chapters of Matthew have been distorted to produce an antisemitism that has been a dreadful distortion of the gospel. This misrepresentation of Jesus\u2019 message has led to activities that...<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t

THE TWENTY SIXTH SUNDAY OF ORDINARY TIME<\/h5>\t\t\t\t

Matthew 21:28-32 Dear Friends, Today\u2019s events from Matthew emerge just after Jesus\u2019s glorious entry into Jerusalem on the back of a donkey. The cleansing of the Temple escalates the already intense hostility between Jesus and the religious leaders. The impact of these events set the scene for even deeper conflict. With today\u2019s parable of the two sons, Jesus is not subtle in accelerating the tension.An important point to remember right at the beginning is that the order of the challenge to the two sons eliminates a strong prejudice held over the centuries that the pe...<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t

<\/a>Matthew 20:1-16Dear Friends, Each Sunday, in the readings of the Mass, we encounter the values of Jesus. We are told that the last shall be first, the leader is to be the servant of all, and we need to be the one who washes our neighbors\u2019 feet.

TWENTY-FOURTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME<\/h5>\t\t\t\t

Mt 18:21-35 The Forgiving Community Forgiveness is at the heart of the kingdom that Jesus proclaimed and lived. At the very beginning, he said, \u201cRepent, the kingdom is at hand\u201d (Mt 4:17)! Those who accept the invitation into the kingdom need to understand its demands. God\u2019s intervention is unleashing an overwhelming explosion of divine mercy and forgiveness. This calls all to both absorb and share the lifegiving current of the new reality that Jesus is setting free. This great blessing of mercy is a healing power that must be shared. Forgiveness is to be e...<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t
