Welcome to Saint Gerald Catholic Church 
Third Week of Lent
Thursday, March 11 - Seeking Charity -- Even Amid DifferencesIn today’s Gospel reading (Luke 11:14-23) Jesus gives his famous teaching, that a kingdom divided against itself cannot stand. He was talking about the rumor that he cast out demons because the devil gave him the power to do so. But his teaching is also true about families, workplaces, nations, and countries. Divisions can weaken or destroy groups -- even faith communities. We all need to acknowledge one another as people of faith and be willing to engage in the conversation without considering the other to be an outcast. Let us pray for the grace to do so.
