Still basking in the glow of a new grandbaby! She looks a lot like Sam did when he was born, but I can see Kelli there too!

I have a band concert tonight. But before then I have a ton of work to do, so I had better get to it!

Tuesday of the Eleventh week in Ordinary Time
Today the Church celebrates : St. John Francis Regis, priest (1597-1640)
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 5:43-48.

You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your heavenly Father, for he makes his sun rise on the bad and the good, and causes rain to fall on the just and the unjust. For if you love those who love you, what recompense will you have? Do not the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet your brothers only, what is unusual about that? Do not the pagans do the same? So be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect.
