Whatever you do to the least of....

Readings for the 32nd Sunday of Cycle A. Four things struck me:

1. Whatever you do to the least of my brethren, that you do unto me.
2. Lord, when did we give you drink or feed you ... when did we not?
3. I will come to separate the sheep from the goats, to judge among the sheep and between the goat and the ram.
4. Jesus will come and vanquish the sovereigns of this world.

Thoughts:

Each of us is both part sheep and part goat. No matter what we do as sheep, it will never be enough. For every person that I help, there are ten I pass by. How can I ever do enough? How can I not feel guilty? Yet there is mercy.

At judgment that in us which is of sheep will be called forward and that in us that is of goat will be banished, forever. Those sovereigns of this world, those addictions which rule over me will be vanquished. I will be freed! I will be liberated.

Introducing Life at 3 MPH

This is to introduce "Life at 3 MPH". Jim and Haydee McCarville are preparing to leave September 1, 2014, to walk on the Camino de Santiago from southwestern France to northwestern Spain. Santiago de Campostela is reported to have the remains of St. James the Apostle buried there, as the story goes. It has been a continuously active Christian pigrimage route for over a thousand years and it was an ancient Celtic rite of initiation long before Christianity. Campostela means "field of stars". It is supposedly aligned with the Milky Way. We will have a lot to see, do, walk and talk. This will be our official record. Buen Camino.
