Home to the Southend Ordinariate Mission     Waiting on the Lord: Scott Hahn Reflects on the 16th Sunday in Ordinary Time                                                       https://stpaulcenter.com/reflections Download Audio File Readings: Genesis 18:1-10 Psalm 15:2-5 Colossians 1:24-28 Luke 10:38-42 God wants to dwell with each of us personally, intimately—as the mysterious guests once visited Abraham's tent, as Jesus once entered the home of Mary and Martha.
