THE CHURCH OF THE HOME

HEEE!!!  See below

I have to share this one because I received it from my missionary friend who serves three small Indian Reservations in the County of San Diego.  The La Salette Missionaries are still on the minds of some of the older people.
The person who is there now is Herman Manuel, SVD missionary who is rather well liked and appreciated.  He is served on a part time basis by the one and only Ed Nolan.
I can't speak about the ways of the people on the reservation but I can report that there is a warm faith feeling rampant in the hearts and souls of the parishioners of the Immaculata parish on the campus of the University of San Diego. We live one mile away from the church and we find ourselves going there nearly every day to have a little chat with the Lord.  I have to say that we are never completely alone in the church.

As I was writing this,  received an answer to the cartoon above about the "Church of the Home" from Father Romy Seleccion, ms.  He is a close friend and adviser to our Lay La Salette Missionary group in Moreno Valley, CA

Happy Easter, Paul and Belle!

I like the humor! It makes my day! It’s the Easter moment of the “domestic church”. In the past two weeks, we have seen the “surge” of “domestic Church” (DC). We have seen the significance of the DC during Palm Sunday, Holy Thursday, Good Friday, Easter Vigil and on Easter Sunday. Just imagine - during these moments of celebration of our faith -  churches were empty, but homes as DC, are filled with family - bringing the reason why family is the smallest spiritual unit of the society, and it goes back to the first holy family. A family that prays together stays together!

Blessings,

Fr. Romy, MS

Allow me to introduce you to our Domestic Church:

Welcome to one and all. May the plague spare us.

May we be efficient intercessors for those who

are chosen to suffer from it.

If you choose us to be of the community who

suffer through it for those you choose to

spare, may we valiantly go to the Cross to which you

invite us, sustained by the same strength and

courage that were given to you by the Father.

These beautiful orchids celebrated their
"coming out"  on time for the Resurrection.

May God bless us all with the grace of the
apostleship of reconciliation.
