Twenty Second Sunday in Ordinary Time
A young scholar asked his tailor if he knew the difference between Urim and thummin. The tailor appropriately answered “lights” and “perfection” describing a device the high priest used to determine the will of God. The scholarly fellow was dismayed as he was trying to show off. The tailor continued that he changed a few letters in the two words to USIN’ & THUMBIN’. Those who familiarize themselves with the scriptures find God’s mind, ways, and will. ~ Fr. Matt

Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung had a plaque in his officed inscribed with “Call or not – God is present.” We live in a topsy turvy world. May we be reminded that God is with us in Sacraments, events, and people. Let us be embraced by him in our peace and panic. ~ Fr. Matt
