		<description><![CDATA[	Sundays are often a time of reflection upon the week past, and&#160;on this Labor Day weekend, the roles of work and worship wove together in my thoughts.&#160; Someone said to me this last week that going to Mass was experiencing the meeting of Heaven and Earth, and nothing less.&#160; If young people understood this,&#160;my friend [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	It was a simple melody in a major key and it reminded me of rolling green hills, the smell of earth, grass, growing things, the moment taken to smell a rose.&#160; The words as well were simple and direct, but carried a more serious plea, for they asked God&#8217;s help in giving us a conscience [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	There have been numerous books published recently on happiness and how to find it.&#160; We are told we have the right to its pursuit.&#160; How does one pursue it?&#160; And when found, how is it retained?
	I believe happiness is being close to God.&#160; Not just any God but&#160; the one&#160;true&#160;God, the God of Abraham, the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	The&#160;doctine of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary into Heaven is what Anglicans call a matter of &#8220;pious opinion&#8221; or &#8220;pious belief.&#8221;&#160; It is the&#160;belief that Mary&#8217;s body was raised to Heaven, that she did not die.&#160; Christians believe that we are resurrected, but that we will be given new bodies&#160;at the&#160;Second Coming and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	We&#8217;ve had a coolish summer here in the San Francisco Bay Area.&#160; Even in the eastern valleys where dry August temperatures often hit 105 degrees, fog enshrouds the mornings and the afternoon sun struggles through the air&#8217;s chill.&#160; The nights are cold.&#160; The natural world is unpredictable and perhaps this is why we often chat [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	My cat killed a bird.
	The image of the lovely gray quail hanging from Laddie&#8217;s jaws, as the cat bounded to the back door to lay the offering inside, shall haunt me for a time.&#160; My sweet and loving cat did this?
	That&#8217;s what cats do, I told myself.&#160; Horrified, I reached his strong tabby body in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	I love going to Mass, for it is a time to reflect on the last week and consider the week to come.&#160;&#160; It is a time to repent and be forgiven.&#160; It is a time to receive God&#8217;s life giving power.&#160;

		<description><![CDATA[	Father Pomroy preached on sloth today, one of the seven deadly sins.
	Sloth, he explained, is not the same as laziness.&#160; Sloth is being lukewarm about God.&#160; A slothful person is ambivalent and unenthusiastic, and he will will, one day, be rejected by God (the actual phrase from Revelation is more graphic: He will &#8220;spew&#8221; the [...]]]></description>
