I feel so blessed and so grateful to have a home. A place to live in safety. To rear a family and share precious moments. Every day we encounter stories from home and abroad of families becoming homeless, dispossessed, or forced from their homelands due to war or famine. Innocent lives displaced and scattered; numerous bad stories of suffering; the experiences immense.
When reflecting on today’s readings, we have to look at life today. What temptations do people have in their daily lives? Is life today easy for people, especially young people? In the decisions made each day, young people especially show their values and priorities.
Today’s Gospel reading is from the Evangelist Luke. To fully understand why he presents a story in his Gospel or writes as he does, we need to understand Luke’s own background: he was a Gentile who converted to Christianity.
We are a Roman Catholic Congregation of Priests, Brothers and Lay Associates. Our congregation was founded in Paris in 1703 by a young 24 year old Breton Lawyer, Claude Poullart des Places.
He founded a community for young men who wished to become priests and dedicated it to the Holy Spirit.
