Description

Did you know that St. Paul's letters were written before the gospels of the New Testament?  Paul's message to the Colossians is just as applicable today as it was in the first century. He guides them to give up their divisions and put on the love of Christ. Let us pray for the word of Christ to dwell in us so we can put aside the vanities that divide us.

Note: Father Chuck precedes today's homily with some interesting follow-up to last week's homily.
