Please include your address and phone number so that I can send you a reminder.

For more information please call Rosemary Cyr at FORGIVENESS Nearly ten years before, a son and father had parted ways when the business they shared went bankrupt. The son blamed the father. They did not speak to each other again. Then the father became seriously ill. The mother called the son and told him he had better come soon. The son walked sheepishly into the hospital room. The father motioned his son to him and whispered: Did you ever think you could do anything that would keep me from loving you? Resentment and anger are foul things, the first reading from Sirach tells us. Remember the last things. Stop hating. Live by the commandments. As Saint Paul writes to the Romans, we are to live for the Lord and die for the Lord. Jesus parable in today s Gospel reminds us of God s compassion. The immense sin of humanity has been forgiven and stricken from the record. We are to forgive others in the same way. ~Father George SAVE THE DATE OCTOBER 22nd TRICKY TRAY Hosted by the Saugerties Columbiettes at 19 Barclay Street, Saugerties, NY.
