Bishop Marc Trudeau said mass today at @holyfamilyartesia celebrating the Feast of the Holy Family.
He preached about the connectedness of people. That we recognize Baby Jesus as the one connected to our salvation history, as well as to our creation as a people. It goes back to 14 generations of families connected to Baby Jesus and many more afterwards, that we are all part of a Christian family. A profound way of describing our historical evolution, but, he does not stop there.
“We have allowed differences in the colors of our skin, different languages, different accents, different places of birth as barriers, yet we are all connected as one family of faith. When we receive the body of Christ, we become the body of Christ, too. Make us, God into one family with love of the Invisible,” Bishop Trudeau continued.
That reflection made me cry while attending this livestreamed mass. Bishop Trudeau shares his analysis and an aspirational concept. He is a brilliant homilist, concise, succinct, yet with full of wisdom.

My life’s lessons in America:
Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.
The Dalai Lama
When I chased after money, I never had enough. When I got my life on purpose and focused on giving of myself and everything that arrived into my life, then I was prosperous.
Dr. Wayne W. Dyer
To get the most success out of life have no agenda other than to give whatever you can in the present moment. A smile, a laugh, a quarter, a helping hand, an introduction or just your listening ear is more powerful than you can imagine. Beneath every gift is the knowing that the Universe is abundant and that you lose nothing by giving away what you have. Others will feel comfortable in your presence and all good things will find you – WITHOUT seeking them.
Jackson Kiddard
They segregate themselves with indifference. By being that – they perpetuate the culture of indifferent, invisible to others, except whites-racism. Respect other people’s rights by voting – when we don’t vote, we are part of the problem still, not part of the solution to dismantle the culture of whites only, indifferent and invisible to others.
