Humility allows us to see our worth, our belonging to God; to guard against pride, despair
Mass for Rick Marconi: Live life, love, forgive others & yourself, worry not, God is with us
Standing straight with hope allows us to have Jesus 'unbend our backs' with his healing
From the faith of Jesus we carry the fire of grace into the world
Faithfulness and service is rewarded in God's time, not necessesarily our time
Resist the lure of mindless greed for possessions which distract us from God's love & grace

In prayer we seek, knock & ask God for His blessings in intimate conversation, listening
Worldly distractions and worries take us away from passionate spirituality, joyful service
Eliminate needless hurry to realize the opportunities God presents us to to love each other
From difficult experiences God uses us to know His true power, true freedom

When we find our focus, we allow love to show us a way to serve each other
The power of Jesus allows us to be instruments in God's healing
Through Jesus, God's all encompassing Grace transforms us, works through us
No matter how desperate, when we are open to God's compassion we receive healing

To experience the Trinity is to understand that there is no place that God is not
Pentecost Sunday: Senior Sermon: Charlotte Gorant and Kristin Wegner
'That we all may be one'- unity, not uniformity, is what Jesus wants for us
Like motherly love, God's love for us is unconditional
Jesus' new commandment: "Love one another as I have loved you", reconciles us to God

Proof of our Christianity is how much of His love are we living
Amazing things happen when we allow God to use our fire and passion
Doubt leads us to the paralysis of fear, or to peace which passes all understanding: Faith
The tomb becomes the womb, as we are reborn into eternal life by Christ's resurrection

Let us confront our fears which prevent us from entering Jerusalem with Jesus
In God's extravagant love we get a glimpse of the heavenly afterlife which awaits us
Grace is God's unconditional extravagant love and mercy for us poured out
Want to find yourself and God? Love the unlovable; pour yourself into someone else

When we let go of fear and face the truth, we become what God enables us to be
Temptation is the opportunity God gives us to put into practice what we commit to do
The glory of God, revealed in us, is reflected in each other, and in our love
God's call comes to us in the midst of our uncertainty and doubts.

Rt. Rev. Leo Frade: We must prepare ourselves for life's disasters; God is always with us
The kingdom of God is ours, here and now, through Jesus
Jaime's Prayer for Haiti; Fr. Marty's Haiti Update
Reluctant heroes sacrifice something for the greater good, in service to God
