EXPLORING THE LORD'S PRAYER.

-
IMAGINE A CROWD following Jesus up a dusty hill. They had heard of His miracles, His care for the poor, and His insightful approach to the Torah. But most of all, they heard of His peace, love, and gentle power. Not a power to dominate with the sword, like their Roman oppressors, but a power like a sunrise, bringing everything into His warm light. Jesus then taught the crowd a new way to relate to God through “the Lord’s Prayer.” 687 Christopher News Notes  Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name Jesus’ words on the Mount of Beatitudes are at the core of Christian life, especially the “Our Father” prayer, which He taught His followers. In the documentary The Lord’s Prayer , scholars and historians explore the revolutionary idea that our Creator is not a disinterested lawmaker, like the kings and emper- ors of the time, but someone much closer to us.

😃 😊 😀  Police Identify Body Found in Erie Canal in Fairport Over the Weekend PUBLISHED 12:34 PM ET Nov. 02, 2020 FAIRPORT, N.Y. — Police have released the identity of a body that was pulled from the Erie Canal over the weekend. Someone walking along the towpath made the discovery on Sunday. Police are currently awaiting autopsy results on Michael Parry, 61, of Fairport. They do not believe foul play was involved in his death. So, I even helped Mike Parry on the last day he lived. He called me on Saturday afternoon, if I could read a letter from housing authority. He was put on waiting list. I gave him some butane for his lighter.  I sat at the Perinton Park pavilion with Mike & his buddy for about 1hr 15m, talking about World Series, the Bills, The Jets, the weather change , the religious inspirational text messages I sent, him going to Mass at COTA , etc. Last I saw him was at 6pm , as they were walking on canal path to village . I called the Fairport PD ...

MERRY CHRISTMAS! 1991 SCHMITT NEWSLETTER As the year is quickly coming to a close, we'll try to update you with the news at the Schmitt household in 1991.We guess the first and biggest news of 1991 is that Rochester was hit with a major ice storm in early March. It was an experience that will not soon be forgotten. The weekend was spent celebrating Kristen's third birthday (yes, respectfully & with love,  Grandma & Grandpa S came for the weekend ). The rain began falling Sunday evening with freezing temperatures, perfect conditions for an ICE STORM. The sounds in the middle of the night were unforgettable as trees and branches were snapping and crashing all round the house. Looking out the windows was a sight as there was ice and branches down everywhere. There were no lights as most of Rochester was without electric. We were lucky as we received electric back after three long days but, many people were without for up to ten days.  The storm didn't cause any  majo...

First of All Happy 250th USA independence Day ! Cardinal Joe Tobin This Independence Day, let’s recommit our nation, and ourselves, to liberty and justice for all. May the next 250 years be dedicated to peace and the common good! May the Sacred Heart of Jesus and His Immaculate Mother inspire us to protect the human dignity of all God’s people. Some of you I've known since the 1960s, others we met during the 1970s at high-school, college, or some other social relationships. The 1980s at work, or an outreach from my marriage, church, and same onto the 1990s, 2000s, & some over the past decade.  Tom Kean is a brave brave man. Our country has come a long way since the way Senator Thomas Eagleton was treated in 1972. Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt , two of our greatest Presidents dealt with depression during their presidency, but then they didn't know & of course it was all secretive.  You all know peopl...
