Third Sunday of Easter (B) 2021 INTRO: There’s a “catchy”’ commercial on TV for the CAPTIAL ONE BANK CARD: “What’s in your wallet?” So, I want to use that question, but in a different way: “What’s in your refrigerator?” So, I asked the kids at children’s’ mass last Friday that question and OH MY the […]

GOOD FRIDAY 2021 INTRO: I am sure you all have seen pictures or may even have visited SAINT PETER’S BASILICA. Try and imagine that high altar and the Bernini columns holding up the baldachin over the altar… BREATHTAKING. Around this high altar are FOUR LARGE STATUES, positioned in such a way as to look at […]

PALM SUNDAY 2021 INTRO: A number of years ago I took horseback riding lessons with my brother on our day off. And, one day, as it could only happen to me, while in the arena as I was trying to “canter”, outside the arena there was a truck delivery using the “backup feature that had […]
