BOUNDARIES???

-
October 9, 2026 St. Denis and Companions; St. John Leonardi Boundaries But upon returning, [the unclean spirit] finds it swept clean and put in order. Then it goes and brings back seven other spirits more wicked than itself who move in and dwell there, and the last condition of that man is worse than the first. Luke 11:25-26 This reminds me so much of the dear clients who come to my office and do the sacred work of healing, forgiveness and transformation. They do what it takes to sweep the past clean and create internal order. This feels amazing—for them and for me, as a collaborator and witness to their progress. However, if we want to maintain this clean and orderly internal space, our work does not stop here. There is one important component for protecting our peace—boundaries. Boundaries are how we define what can enter our sacred space and what cannot. The idea is that people are free to act however they wish, but not everything is acceptable in order to remain in prox...

  CORNELL & THE AGE OF IMPUNITY  😔😔🔗🔗 Do not dismiss this article , if you're biased against the NYT as a hard core conservative. You should then dismiss Trump as a hard core dismissive of women, " You gotta grab them (women) by the pxxsy" Great message (NOT) to America's teenage boys, college frat boys, young men working in the trades, young men throwing down a few beers, ..young men everywhere.  I'm thankful I grew up in a household with three sisters & knowing we were treated the same by parents, going to Catholic schools & learning to respect my female classmates in the same manner as my male classmates.   Of course I was attracted to my female classmates, my female work colleagues, women i met in bars, I NEVER thought I was entitled to grab them or ply them with alcohol and rip their clothes off.

GOOD NIGHT IRENE!!! August 29, 2011 Anthony Schmitt  Fr. Patrick , & two other St. Elizabeth of Hungary Parishioners- Sunday August 28, 2011 . I was the fourth person at Mass that morning.  I had to pound on rectory door to wake up Fr. Patrick. Out of town friends and some locals, Irene did throw some mighty punches, lots of people without power, trees & power lines down, flooding, lots of rain, but Ll may have gone down for the count but, was never knocked out. The Sun is rising and we are ready for the clean up.   The true spirit of LI came through, as many neighbors helped each other, maybe you made a new friend yesterday. Fr. Patrick, in his sermon yesterday said; " Maybe God Iwas sending a message to us in the North easterner ; slow down and rest on Sunday as the bible says. There were no trains, planes, etc....most of us didn't work, and yet the world went on and didn't stop.." Hmmmm...........very interesting point. Glad I made the effort t...
