That’s great. Were you encouraged to read and study them or were they just there?
The priest gave a good homily on the Gospel reading, which was from John 15. A group of us met after Mass to reflect on where our treasure is, after reading Matthew 6:19-34 and study guides. One of our group is in the hospital, so we gathered in his room. He was looking forward to the meeting all week. A verse from the study guide really touched me: The order of things must be subordinate to the order of persons, and not the other way around. Sometimes we forget that people are more important than things.
Peace,
Rich
