Family Ties

A Facebook-like feature for our church family

How is it like Facebook? It's a social medium.

How is it not like Facebook? As a Christian community, we strive to love one another and to share the goodness of God's creation. Political and controversial posts tend to polarize; totally opposite of why this feature is on our website. Please respect this sentiment.

Ash Wednesday

Psalm 95.10: Forty years long I detested that generation and said, "This people are wayward in their hearts; they do not know my ways.”

This is a disturbing verse. The word translated detested is a very strong verb. I check three separate Hebrew translations and they rendered the verb, provoked, loathed and wearied; although the notes on the last translation notes that the verb is a very strong verb and suggests a better translation as disgusted.

Today is Ash Wednesday one of the two most penitential days of our year, the second being Good Friday. Though I am not one who traffics in guilt, at times it is important for us to take stock. Today I ask myself if there is anything in my life that is provoking or wearying to God. Is there anything in my life that God loathes? O that there is nothing that disgusts God.

Discover something new this Lent!

As a priest I am expected to keep confidences. I take this expectation VERY seriously. However I want to expose one of the best kept secret at St Paul's.

Our website is a very well done collection of information and tools. Perhaps the best kept secret in our parish is the tool called Family Ties. Here's the link:

https://www.saintpaulsnaples.org/posts

This feature allows us to be in conversation with each other and to stay connected.

To support this feature, to introduce it, and to provide a Lenten discipline for St Paul's this season, I will endeavor to post a daily reflection on a passage from the readings for the Morning/Evening Prayer. It will sort of be like St Paul's own in-house Day by Day, but with the added bonus of being able to respond and engage with others spiritually during the season of Lent.

I hope this will be both an introduction to the extensive tools of our website and a way for us to grow deeper and closer during this peculiar Lent.

God bless us and nurture us in this holy season.

About Family Ties

Our unity as family begins with our baptism and is strengthened at the Lord's table, where we partake of the body and blood of Jesus. It continues in our homes and the marketplace as we commune with one another. Family ties are strengthened every time we interact with each other.

Tell your story

Don't let your fellow parishioners learn at your funeral that they had something in common with you!
