May 7, 2025Today's Reading: Luke 7:36-50Daily Lectionary: Exodus 34:29-35:21; Exodus 35:22-38:20; Luke 7:36-50“Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven—for she loved much. But he who is forgiven little, loves little.' And he said to her, ‘Your sins are forgiven.'” (Luke 7:47-48)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. In this passage, the Pharisees directly encounter Jesus's tendency to scandalize the piety of the arrogant and self-righteous. Here, we see Jesus is invited to dine with the Pharisees, and a woman labeled “a sinner” hears that Jesus will be there and crashes the party. Let's take a step back and think through all of the implications of this: the Pharisees are the teachers of the law, are all men, and are trying to learn from this interesting rabbi by having a respectable meal with him. Then, their all-male party is crashed by a woman. This is boundary stretching on its own, as this culture certainly had a healthy respect for distinguishing between male and female spaces. But she's not only a woman; she's also a “sinner.” The text doesn't detail the particulars of the woman's sin, but it's been widely accepted by scholars, from the context, that she was likely a sex worker. This makes sense, as we are clearly meant to understand that she isn't just a regular sinner; she's a pretty grievous public sinner. Yes, we all know that we're all sinners, but most of us have a hierarchy of sins, and frankly, that type of sin was and is considered especially egregious. So, people let their imaginations work, put together a woman who was a great sinner who obviously had money, and draw a conclusion. We can easily see how the dinner party would be surprised at her arrival, but imagine how brave she must have been. She knew what she was walking into, and instead of waiting for a time when Jesus was on His own, where she could avoid the condemnation of the Pharisees, she marches in with her savings in the alabaster jar and worships her Lord with her love and her tears, because that act was more important than her pride. Jesus knows exactly who she is and what she has done and is more aware of her sin than even she is, yet He uses this to preach on love and redemption. She loves Jesus because she knows how very much she needs saving, and that He can do this. The lesson here is not that bigger sinners love Jesus more, but rather those who know intimately just how very much they need Jesus, who know their weakness, can rest in Him as their strength, especially when the world would shame us for that weakness. We happily give Him everything we have, because we know that we love because He first loved us (1 John 4:19). In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.For all the faithful women Who served in days of old, To Your shall thanks be given; To all, their story told. They served with strength and gladness In tasks Your wisdom gave. To You their lives bore witness, Proclaimed Your pow'r to save. (LSB 855:1)- Deac.

Joel 1:1-2:17 (NASB) Chapter One 1 The word of the Lord that came to Joel, the son of Pethuel: 2 Hear this, you elders,And listen, all inhabitants of the land.Has anything like this happened in your days,Or in your fathers' days?3 Tell your sons about it,And have your sons tell their sons,And their sons the next generation. 4 What the gnawing locust has left, the swarming locust has eaten;And what the swarming locust has left, the creeping locust has eaten;And what the creeping locust has left, the stripping locust has eaten.5 Awake, you heavy drinkers, and weep;And wail, all you wine drinkers,Because of the sweet wine,For it has been eliminated from your mouth.6 For a nation has invaded my land,Mighty and without number;Its teeth are the teeth of a lion,And it has the jaws of a lioness.7 It has made my vine a wasteAnd my fig tree a stump.It has stripped them bare and hurled them away;Their branches have become white. 8 Wail like a virgin clothed with sackclothFor the groom of her youth.9 The grain offering and the drink offering have been cut offFrom the house of the Lord.The priests mourn,The ministers of the Lord.10 The field is ruined,The land mourns;For the grain is ruined,The new wine has dried up,Fresh oil has failed.11 Be ashamed, you farm workers,Wail, you vinedressers,For the wheat and the barley;Because the harvest of the field is destroyed.12 The vine has dried upAnd the fig tree has withered;The pomegranate, the palm also, and the apple tree,All the trees of the field have dried up.Indeed, joy has dried upFrom the sons of mankind. 13 Put on sackclothAnd mourn, you priests;Wail, you ministers of the altar!Come, spend the night in sackcloth,You ministers of my God,For the grain offering and the drink offeringHave been withheld from the house of your God. 14 Consecrate a fast,Proclaim a solemn assembly;Gather the eldersAnd all the inhabitants of the landTo the house of the Lord your God,And cry out to the Lord.15 Woe for the day!For the day of the Lord is near,And it will come as destruction from the Almighty.16 Has food not been cut off before our eyes, andJoy and rejoicing from the house of our God?17 The seeds have dried up under their shovels;The storehouses have become desolate,The grain silos are ruined,Because the grain has dried up.18 How the animals have groaned!The herds of cattle have wandered aimlesslyBecause there is no pasture for them;Even the flocks of sheep have suffered.19 To You, Lord, I cry out;For fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness,And the flame has burned up all the trees of the field.20 Even the animals of the field pant for You;For the stream beds of water are dried up,And fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness. Chapter Two 1 Blow a trumpet in Zion,And sound an alarm on My holy mountain!Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble,For the day of the Lord is coming;Indeed, it is near,2 A day of darkness and gloom,A day of clouds and thick darkness.As dawn is spread over the mountains,So there is a great and mighty people;There has never been anything like it,Nor will there be again after itTo the years of many generations.3 A fire consumes before them,And behind them a flame devours.The land is like the Garden of Eden before them,But a desolate wilderness behind them,And nothing at all escapes them.4 Their appearance is like the appearance of horses;And like war horses, so they run.5 With a noise as of chariotsThey leap about on the tops of the mountains,Like the crackling of a flame of fire consuming the stubble,Like a mighty people drawn up for battle.6 Before them the people are in anguish;All faces turn pale.7 They run like warriors,They climb the wall like soldiers;And each of them marches in line,Nor do they lose their way.8 They do not crowd each other,Every warrior of them marches in his path;When they burst through the defenses,They do not break ranks.9 They storm the city,They run on the wall;They climb into the houses,

Day 1: Mary, Full of Grace From the Gospel according to Luke 1:28 In the sixth month, the Angel Gabriel was sent from God to a town of Galilee called Nazareth. He was sent to a young virgin who was betrothed to a man named Joseph, of the family of David: and the virgin's name was Mary. The Angel came to her and said, Rejoice, Full of Grace! Let us pray: Almighty Father, all-powerful and ever-living God, we thank You for bestowing upon Your highly favored daughter all the graces to be Your Son's Mother and to be the Mother of all. We thank You for sending Your Son Jesus Christ to be our redeemer and savior. Thank You for giving us the breath of life and the splendor of Your creations. We thank You, Father, our Lord, and our God, for Your infinite kindness and mercy. How good You are to us, your children. We praise you and worship you, with Your Son, Jesus Christ, and his Mother Mary, our intercessor. To You, we owe everything. We acknowledge humbly that without You, we are nothing. Receive our gratitude and our undying adoration and devotion. We will try to reciprocate Your loving kindness by obeying Your commandments, by loving our neighbors and by earnestly endeavoring to become more like Your Son. We shall continuously affirm Your lordship and celebrate Your goodness and kindness all the days of our life. Amen. The post A Novena for the Annunciation – Day 1 – Mary, Full of Grace appeared first on Discerning Hearts Catholic Podcasts.
In the landmark 400th episode of "Friends Talking Nerdy," hosts The Reverend Tracy and Tim the Nerd delve into two engaging segments that showcase the podcast's signature blend of insightful discussion and nostalgic reflection.Starting off the show was a special message from referee Aubrey Edwards from All Elite Wrestling. We would like to thank her for sending the show such a wonderful message of congratulations on reaching 400 episodes thanks to the website Cameo. Segment 1: Exploring Sanctuary CitiesThe episode begins with an in-depth analysis of the concept of sanctuary cities, inspired by the article "Sanctuary Cities: Are Sanctuary Cities Good For The United States" from Britannica's website. The hosts examine the historical context of sanctuary cities, tracing their roots to the Sanctuary Movement of the 1980s, where faith communities offered refuge to immigrants facing deportation. They discuss how modern sanctuary policies aim to create inclusive communities by limiting local law enforcement's cooperation with federal immigration authorities, thereby promoting safety and trust among all residents. The conversation also touches on the political and social debates surrounding these policies, providing listeners with a balanced perspective on their implications for communities across the United States.Segment 2: Celebrating 400 Episodes of Nerdy ConversationsIn the second half of the episode, The Reverend Tracy and Tim the Nerd celebrate their 400-episode milestone by reminiscing about some of their favorite moments from the show's history. They share behind-the-scenes anecdotes, highlight memorable guest appearances, and reflect on how the podcast has evolved over the years. The Reverend Tracy and Tim the Nerd express gratitude to their dedicated audience and discuss their vision for the future of "Friends Talking Nerdy," promising more engaging content and nerdy discussions in the episodes to come.As always, we wish to thank Christopher Lazarek for his wonderful theme song.

Episode 399 of Friends Talking Nerdy takes listeners on a nostalgic and trend-savvy journey as Professor Aubrey and Tim the Nerd dive into two distinct realms of pop culture.SNL Sketches Revisited:In the first segment, the duo explores some of the most memorable sketches from the long and storied history of Saturday Night Live. They reminisce about classics like the hilarious Chippendales sketch featuring Patrick Swayze and Chris Farley, and they break down the absurdity of Massive Head Wound Harry. The conversation flows through a wide range of iconic moments—from the socially sharp satire of Mr. Robinson's Neighborhood and the offbeat charm of TV Funhouse: The Ambiguously Gay Duo to the outlandish fun of James Brown's Celebrity Hot Tub Party. The discussion doesn't stop there; listeners are treated to detailed commentary on fan-favorites like Matt Foley: Motivational Speaker, the smooth criminality of Dick In A Box, and the thought-provoking takes in White Like Me and Black Jeopardy. To cap it off, they also delve into the quirky humor of Schmitt's Gay, sharing behind-the-scenes insights and personal favorite moments that reveal the enduring legacy of SNL's inventive comedy.Grammy 2025 and Musical Moments:In the second segment, the conversation shifts gears to the 2025 Grammy Ceremony. Professor Aubrey shares her keen observations on the event's standout fashion moments, spotlighting daring choices like Jaden Smith's outfit, which sparked plenty of buzz both on and off the red carpet. Tim the Nerd, with his signature enthusiasm, brings up an unexpected twist in musical history: The Beatles clinching a Grammy for their previously unreleased song “Now And Then.” He also highlights how Beyoncé's groundbreaking win for her “Cowboy Carter” album not only redefined genre boundaries but also opened doors for a broader acceptance of country influences among her diverse fan base.As always, we wish to thank Christopher Lazarek for his wonderful theme song.

Citizens of the United States of America have always acknowledged God. Sometimes though, our devotion to faith comes and goes. Sometimes we get too comfortable and forget who keeps us upright every day.Psalm 115:1 tells us, “Not to us, LORD, not to us, but to your name be the glory, because of your love and faithfulness.”Whenever a person questions God's goodness, or the path He has set for us, it's good to go to the Bible. There, we find the answer to why we should honor our Lord.It's because He has loved us. He has been faithful to us.He deserves our notice. He is the One we should be all-in for, all the time.Remember the timeless Walt Whitman poem, in which he referred to the beloved President Lincoln as “O Captain, my Captain!” Whitman was honoring the man who saved the Union. The President rightly was seen as an important figure; after all, he gave his life for his country.But the Lord Jesus Christ is our real Captain, our General, for all time. He gave His life for each of us the world over.Glory to God! Let's honor Him every way we can. Let's pray.Lord, we have many examples from history of people who sacrificed and deserve our respect. To You, we give our full allegiance, now and forever! In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world!

Mark Clavey sent this picture right after St Patrick's Day 2024: “Hi Marc! Here's our write - up for how we spent St Pat's at O'Malley's Pub... and a few pictures... "There was more March Madness for the band this past Sunday as we celebrated the Day of the Festival of St Patrick with a noon - performance at O'Malley's Pub(Episode 136). The day started around 10:00a as the band started straggling in and setting up. It was a brisk 40° when we loaded in, and would reach a balmy 48° when we loaded out at 4:30. Early - birds had already formed a line by 10:30 – despite the fact that the Pub wouldn't open until 11:30. (This plan was well - advised given the epic proportions of Snake Saturday's one - person - out/one - person - in crowd.) By the time the band started playing at noon, the bar was full and the crowd lively – being more vocal for the sing - alongs than they were for the toasts. There was a larger - than - usual number of Tullamore - fans than is typical for St Patrick's Day (as it was at lunchtime on a Sunday rather than a workday). Shout - outs to Mike, Amy, Anna, and Jason; Ray and Carrie; Eric and Dena; Eric, Linda, and Eleanor; Trey; Connie, Brandie and Rhonda; Shannon; Rob and Mitch; Andrew; Lisa, Craig, Ed, and Mary; Mikayla; and Jenn. Mark successfully navigated the afternoon notwithstanding the return of his chest - supercold (that knocked him out of the February weekend) and having sliced up the index - finger on his strumming hand. (Evidently, while holding a pick between the thumb and the bird - finger is a doable thing, it DOES produce a Charlie - horse at the base of the thumb when you do it for three hours straight.) Said navigation was aided with the Black Bush providing the kind of lubrication that makes your engine tick. We played until 3:30 before turning the stage over to The Kelihans – who would, in turn, hand off the stage to Chance the Arm at 8:00p. In the meantime, Ryan Rancudo and Bob Reeder handled the St Patrick's Day festivities for the audience in the upper cellar. Overall, it was a great afternoon and (we're assuming) a great night as well. (Photos courtesy of Amy Cripe, Mike Moran, and Mary Hanover.)" Best, - Mark”
