"Bonus: Led, Governed, Ordered, Loved" — 12th Sun. in Ordinary Time, 6/21/26

Since Father Chuck is on vacation this week, we have a "bonus" episode featuring Father Chuck's homily for this day from June 21, 2020 at his previous parish, St. Wenceslaus, in Scappoose, OR.  Did Jeremiah's prayer for vengeance leave you wondering why God intended for it to be in the scriptures, when the full revelation of God tells us to love our enemy? Maybe then Jeremiah wanted to take it back? God left it in the scriptures to show that He can deal with our un-Godly thoughts and acts. He doesn't miss even one sparrow's little hop with His guidance. Let us pray for love and courage in letting God order our days.
