David

Gathering and talking at the dinner table gives families an opportunity to bond. Conversations may sometimes be stilted or non-existent, but asking questions can help family members to connect on a deeper, more meaningful level.

In the following passage, Saint Paul is quoting a very early hymn expressing belief in the Incarnation. God, putting aside divinity and being clothed in humanity. Like us in all things but sin!

His state was divine

Yet he did not cling

To his equality with God

But emptied himself

To assume the condition of a servant

(Philippians 2:60)

Dom and Carmel Sorbara sent in a photo of six of their 16 grandchildren. Pictured (from L to R) are Melina, Luca, Lydia, Violet, Gia and Tomi. The Sorbara’s have been receiving The Majellan since around 1968, a year after they were married. Thank you for sending us this delightful photo and every blessing to your family.

Life does not always turn out the way we would like. There are the ups and downs, the ebbs and flows, and the missteps that play out in our lives. No one is immune from the pain of loss, whether it be the death of a spouse, grandparent, parent, sibling or child.

Pope Francis says he is preparing a document on the Sacred Heart of Jesus to “illuminate the path of ecclesial renewal, but also to say something significant to a world that seems to have lost its heart.”
