“Jesus is the friend of sinners.”
~ Fr Richard McAlear, OMI
As Jesus passed by, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the customs post. He said to him, "Follow me." And he got up and followed him. While he was at table in his house, many tax collectors and sinners came and sat with Jesus and his disciples. The Pharisees saw this and said to his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?" He heard this and said, “Those who are well do not need a physician, but the sick do. Go and learn the meaning of the words, I desire mercy, not sacrifice. I did not come to call the righteous but sinners." ~ MT 9:9-13

Jesus came with his disciples into the house. Again the crowd gathered, making it impossible for them even to eat. When his relatives heard of this they set out to seize him, for they said, “He is out of his mind.” - Mk 3:20-21
Feel like everything is crazy? Just be crazy for Jesus!
"I'm plum crazy for Jesus because Jesus is crazy for me... crazy enough to die for me. That's crazy!" - Fr Richard McAlear, OMI
August is the month of the Immaculate Heart of Mary and a time of special celebrations...
The Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary is August 15th when we celebrate Mary assumed body and soul into Heaven. The Memorial of The Queenship of the Blessed Virgin Mary is August 22nd when we celebrate Mary crowned Queen of Heaven.
It is a special time to be close with Mary.
Mary - Mother & Disciple of Jesus, a teaching by Fr. Richard McAlear, gives us a very special and touching glimpse into the life of Mary and all that she endured.
