Dear Friends,

I am taking a bit of “pastor/literary license” so to speak this week by uniting the scheduled feast of the 20th Sunday in O.T. with the holy day of the Assumption celebration to be remembered liturgically on Friday of this week. In order to do that, I have taken two selections from the gospel of Luke to speak about Mary, our mother, sister, and friend for the journey, and one reading from Hebrews for the 20th Sunday in O.T., and we will try and tie both feasts together.

Come; ponder the mysteries with us this week!

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy
