For more info contact Pam Hammond at To register, call Pam or Pat Ruane at ON THE ROAD One central metaphor employed to describe the Christian life is a journey. In today s second reading, Peter addresses the early Christian community: Conduct yourselves with reverence during the time of your sojourning (1 Peter 1:17). When we think of a journey, we normally think of some kind of movement from point A to point B. The Christian journey, begun in the waters of baptism (point A) has as its ultimate destination eternal life with God in heaven (point B). Unfortunately we find ourselves on all kinds of detours along the way. Because of sin, we make foolish turns and sometimes seem unable to detect the presence of the Lord. Today s story of the two disciples on their way to Emmaus illustrates for us the fact that, even when we are dejected or on one of our many detours, the Lord is there, walking right beside us. ~Father George The Archdiocese of New York launched an exciting mission and evangelization program called Revive: Faith Every Day, throughout the parish clusters. The three-day program will be led by a priest from one of our religious communities that specialize in preaching missions. It will be held on Monday-Wednesday from 6pm-9pm. Mark your calendars! You don t want to miss it! We have a link to this event on our webpage at Click on About News/Events Revive. Our cluster will Revive at St. Mary s of the Snow/St. Joseph on 6/12-6/14 at 6pm.
