This year we welcome in 25 people into our Holy Catholic Church--including 8 baptisms. Why did they want to become Catholic? What is the point of all of this? What do we get out of following Jesus? What's in it for us? We have to get something--what do we get?

This year Good Friday falls on the feast of the Annunciation the next time this occurs is on 2154 (wrong date mentioned in homily). This odd occurrence allows for a meditation on JRR Tolkien's, Lord of the Rings and how he chose this date to show the end of the world.

The Prodigal Son story is one that we've all heard so many times.  Have we ever thought of what God thinks of us? If He really loves us?  What He'd do for us?  God loves you embarrassingly so!  Our God is willing to humiliate Himself out of His love for you!
