Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time

My Companions pray with me: We praise you Lord for all the gifts You have given us. Help us to bring You glory by living fully and serving Your Kingdom. Forgive us for the times we have covered our light. Thank You for Your loving kindness. And give us all we need; help us to realize the difference between wants and needs.


Birthdays:  Ed Luckett (2/2), Anita Dunn (2/5).
 
Keeping In-touch: Living in the Denver Area we have experienced as much colorful orange this week as we have fluffy white snow. We're sharing our lives these days with Caitlin Throne who's living with us as she participates in an internship. It's been fun to re-connect with the Thrones. Otherwise, we're doing well with our ministries and with resting by the hearth.
The Readings: Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Some Commentary: Fr. John Foley, S. J.
My comments and an invitation for your comments: I came back from my annual retreat last weekend with much compassion for men who have lived difficult lives and with much gratitude for all the wonderful people events of my life. The Gospel this week challenges us to be our best selves, to let our light shine, and to contribute all we can with the salt of our talents.
