With sadness we share the news that Donna Toliver Grimes passed from this life on Dec. 10, 2024

DONNA TOLIVER-GRIMES VISITED HEAVEN: DECEMBER 10, 2024, RIP!

from Mr. Michael Howard, Eat the Scroll Ministry

Lord God, you transformed Donna’s “mourning into dancing; you took away [her] sackcloth and clothed [her] with gladness” (Psalm 30:12). I can imagine that in her final moments, she whispered these words, feeling the angels’ loving touch: “Into your hands, I commend my spirit …” (Psalm 31:6).

Guest Writer | Black Catholic Messenger
On the First Sunday of Advent in the Archdiocese of Baltimore, the “Seek the City to Come” (STCTC) Planning Initiative reached a crucial moment.

Gospel Reflection for Thursday, December 5, 2024

By Bishop Robert Barron

Cycle C/Advent/1st wk of Advent
  • Matthew 7:21,
  • Matthew 7:24-27
Friends, in today’s Gospel, Jesus closes his Sermon on the Mount by showing us the importance of applying his teaching: “Everyone who listens to these words of mine and acts on them will be like a wise man who built his house on rock. The rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew and buffeted the house. But it did not collapse.”
