Father ed's sunday reading 

Past National Clergy Consultant
 Father Ed Lamp

 Sixth Sunday of Easter
May 22, 2022

Acts 15:1-2,22-29; Revelation 21:10-14,22-23; 
John 14:23-29
[When the Ascension is celebrated on the following Sunday, the Second Reading (Rev 22:12-14,16-17,20) and the Gospel (John 17:20-26) of the Seventh Sunday of Easter may be used today.]

Two sides of Christian living are reflected in today’s readings. The Gospel radiates a calmness and peace and reassurance that we all need so much. The First Reading, however, reflects the areas of difference and conflict that are bound to arise when even Christians come face to face with new problems and new questions for the articulation of their faith. Such conflicts, when properly handled, are necessary, even desirable, if we are to have a deeper understanding of the real meaning of our faith in a changing world.
And God speaks to us through the changing situations in which the world finds itself. So, at first sight the answers are not always clear. There are different interpretations and even disagreements until we find where the Spirit is leading us. We have conflicts like that today in questions over married priests, women priests, problems about marriage and family planning, dealing with death and dying, questions about sexual relationships and sexual orientations.

spring Message

My dear Sisters in Christ,

My term as National Regent is coming to an end.  I have enjoyed every minute of this fantastic journey.  Each of you as a member of Catholic Daughters have been a joy and delight.  Even with the many challenges of the past two years, every court has made adjustments in their meetings and moved forward to make the best even better.  When we can finally meet in person, how thankful we will be!
The theme of this term and also the theme for the 59th Biennial National Convention Let all you do be done with love 1Cor 16-14 has served very well as a reminder of how we should willingly accept our journey through life.  This love is not a romantic love, but a true and complete love of God and acceptance of our neighbor.  Without love for our neighbor, this world would be hurting.  Without innovative women, this world would be stagnant and never changing.  Without women who dare to take a chance, this world would be dull and never move forward.   Without women willingly accepting all the problems of Covid and making the necessary changes, our beloved Catholic Daughters could not survive and remain  alive and active.
