Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God 1 January 2008

This homily was not successful recorded due to technical difficulties. Fr. Thomas Weise explored the four areas of right relationship found in the biblical understanding of Shalom--Peace. The first area is right relationship with God--Lets us follow the will of God closer and closer through prayer, study, and worship. The second area is right relationship with self--Lets us know of our own belovedness as God's precious children. The third area is right relationship with others in the human family--Let us love one another and our enemies with the same infinite love that God loves us with. The forth area is right relationship with all of creation--Let us be good stewards of creation and live simply so that others might simply live. All of this will be possible if we like Mary treasure Jesus in our hearts. Lets us continue our prayer and action for Peace.

Readings: Numbers: 6:22-27, Psalm 67:2-3, 5-6, 8; Galatians 4:4-7; Luke 2:16-21.
