As humans we are capable of both good and evil. Our Gospel this weekend makes it clear that any good is of God, no matter who is doing it. The fact that others not of our faith may be doing good things in the world should spur us on to even greater acts of charity and love. After all, we follow Jesus, who gave everything for us. But when we do evil, the greater is our sin, because our wicked example becomes a stumbling block to those who might want to draw closer to Jesus. The way we live can be for good or ill.
Did you hear it is Festival time! The perogies have been pinched; the shells have been stuffed; the raffle tickets are incoming; there are some new kid's games; and even Elvis is going to make his last apprearance. Aren't you excited? This is a great time for the parish to come together, work together, have some fun, and celebrate a long tradition of our parish. Come out to eat, to work, to meet old friends and to make this a very successful festival. See you there!
