Oct 29: The Diamond Rule

Reflection for the 30th Sunday in Ordinary Time. What the first reading calls aliens are immigrants or newcomers. They lived among the Hebrews, but were not Jews themselves. The Lord reminds the people that they were once aliens themselves.

Oct 22: “He Alone Is Lord”

Refection for the 29th Sunday in Ordinary Time. In the scriptures, being anointed usually meant you were a prophet or king of Israel. So why is Cyrus given that title?

Reflection for the 28th Sunday in Ordinary Time. Why would invited guests refuse to come to a wedding? Free food and drink, music and dancing—what’s not to like?

Bringing Young Children to Mass

Throughout the Gospels, we see Jesus' tender care and preferential treatment of children. Young children - even those who are not perfectly behaved! - are always welcome at Most Blessed Sacrament parish.

Holy Days of Obligation: What's the Point?

For many of us, the word “obligation” probably stirs up a feeling that we have to do something rather than get to do something - and you may find yourself with this mindset when encountering Holy Days of Obligation. However, did you know that these special days actually exist for us and for our freedom and joy?

Have a Mass Said for A Special Intention

The Church considers the Mass the greatest possible prayer of intercession because it is the perfect offering of Christ to the Father by making present the Paschal Mystery of His death and resurrection.
