March 18, 2012Fourth Sunday of Lent: 2 Chr 36:14-16, 19-23; Eph 2:4-10; Jn 3:14-21 One of my favorite stories is that of a famous scientist who after giving a lecture was asked what had most shaped his life. He responded that he had started off as a misbehaving child that moved from one school to another because of his lack of control. Finally his mother put him in a Catholic school. On the first day of class he stepped in the room and was startled when he saw the crucifix on the wall. He…See More

First Sunday of Lent: Gn 9:8-15; 1 Pt 3:18-22; Mk 1:12-15
The Sunday readings for lent begin with God's Covenant with Noah and his sons after the great flood where it rained for forty days and forty nights.

Stay fit, when you're 600 years old, someone might ask you…

PREP BASEBALL: San Pedro victim of a no-hitter by Cleveland's Hartman
When Jack Hartman pitches for Cleveland, all the offense needs to do is score once - although it usually does more. That was the case again on Friday when he hurled a no-hitter in an L.A. City playoff victory over San Pedro. See More
