Father Anthony with Cristina and Tony regroup today after the weekend to discuss the goings on, and people in the Parish. Father greets everyone and chats a bit about his past week and the feeling of being just being overly tired and hot, mentioning that he felt some frustration with not finding the rest he was looking for during his recent private retreat. After prayer, he discusses the Saint of the Day, St. Kateri Tekakwitha, the first Native American to be canonized. He shares details of her life and how she dedicated her life to Jesus being committed to living a pure and prayerful life, reminding us that we should all be receptive to the inner workings of God’s spirit, mindful that this will lead us to the inner peace we yearn. Father connects this to the past Sunday’s reading that clearly references suffering and groaning. The trio discusses suffering and acknowledges that all suffer and no one escapes it and all groan about their sufferings. Father points out that inner peace and joy may still exists while we suffer and groan but to recall that Jesus never promised us happiness and that we should choose internal joy over fleeting happiness.

After a break, Father leads us in prayer, then switches gears and mentions the polarization being experienced in the church; he touches on the seminarians who lean into the traditional church versus the progress movement within. This leads the group to discuss the role of women in the church and in families and the establishment of male priest only in the Catholic Church.
