Extra Ordinary Time continues and the psalmist cries out, “My soul thirsts for you O’God.”  This time of pandemic and the resulting economic downturn–as a result, along with racial unrest in our country all add up to our own cries for relief.

In the lack of leadership from State and Church, it would seem that we as individuals must work toward and be the change we  hope to see!

Come; be with us at our Zoom Liturgy this week–let us draw strength from each other.

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

We continue our walk through this year–2020 in [Extra] Ordinary Time in a pandemic and we are called to reflect on, “a God who cares.”  Let us contemplate on this idea through the chosen readings of this Sunday.  Let us find hope in the world in which we live–let us do this together!

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

We see Jesus’ humanity up close this week in the gospel from Matthew where he encounters “the faith” of a Canaanite woman.   This should give us hope living our own lives as humans as we constantly attempt to be, like Jesus, “our best selves” which really, like him, is to be divine.

Please keep safe and stay well–call me, 507-429-3616 if I can help in any way or you just want to chat. Also, email, aaorcc2008@gmail.com.

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

We are challenged once again to be all that we can be–to, “get out of our boats” of comfort, to do what must be done, say what must be said!  Following Jesus is never less than this.  But we are comforted by his words, “Do not be afraid, for I am with you!”

In these times my friends, that call for so much from us, let us be encouraged and strengthened by our brother Jesus’ words.

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

Dear Friends,

NO PHYSICAL MASS THIS SUNDAY–but mark your calendars for our next Zoom Mass, August 30, 2020 at 10 A.M.  Pastor Dick Dahl is preparing this week’s homily–thank you Dick!

As we prepare for Sunday’s reflections, the Scriptures are suggestive of how we should be in our world.  The prophet Isaiah instructs us to listen well, that we may have life and to not spend [our efforts] on things that do not bring life.  The psalmist reminds us that our God is merciful and Paul insists that, “nothing can separate us from the love of  [this gracious] God” because of Jesus.  And finally, just as Jesus multiplied his goodness among many; we too must share Jesus’ love among us.

Peace and love–stay well and safe, Pastor Kathy
