Desert Rose, a Sign of Contradiction, expresses the meaning and color of Gaudete Sunday
As I’m going over tomorrow’s readings for Gaudete Sunday, I find myself asking with John the Baptist, am I looking for the right thing?
The first words of the first reading: the desert and the parched land…

Has Sunday ever snuck up on you before?
That’s what happened to me this week, which is why this post is going to be just a little different, but I’m taking advantage of providence to share what’s on my mind regarding the Liturgy we are gradually walking into this time of the year. But first… More…

Blessed John Paul II will be added to the Church’s liturgical calendar for dioceses in the United States on October 22 🙂 !!! More…
Just another Sunday Gospel reflection…
Okay.. Remember what I was saying about memes the other day? Scratch that (partially). Baby memes are still cool!
