Send us Fan Mail Then the whole assembly of them arose and brought him before Pilate.

Send us Fan Mail The Scribes and Pharisees have built their identity over and against this woman they see as a sinner. In separating themselves from her, they see themselves as good. One by one, beginning with the elders, they walked away from the one who was approaching them with forgiveness.

Send us Fan Mail "It is out of the abundance of the heart that the mouth speaks.” This is a homily/story that I shared in 2019.

Send us Fan Mail When Jesus says, to "love your enemies." I think he is challenging us to meet them, to get to know them for who they are rather than who we imagine them to be.

May you be renewed by your celebration of Christ's birth. Fr. Joe frjoedailey@gmail.com

Send us Fan Mail It is to shepherds that this Good News is announced:   “Do not be afraid;  for behold,  I proclaim to you good news of great joy that will be for all the people."   While the emperor says "ALL the world,"  the shepherds proclaim "For ALL the people."
