From Deacon John:  Several people have asked for a copy of last weekend’s homily and sometimes reading something on paper doesn’t have the same effect as hearing it.   So we have posted an audio file of the homily.  I suggest that you take time before listening to the homily to reread Sunday’s first reading (Isaiah 43:18-19, 21-22, 24b-25) and the Gospel (Mark 2: 1-12).   These readings really set the stage for the homily.   I hope this provides some thoughts for the Lenten Season.
