God continues to shepherd his people today through the bishops and priests anointed to lead the Kingdom of God on earth.   Solomon was blessed with wisdom and he sought to build the Temple in Jerusalem to honor God.  His wisdom reminded him that he could not be a good leader apart from God. ...

                             OUR LADY ACADEMY MORNING ANNOUNCEMENTS Monday, December 13, 2021   Good Morning OLA!   Today is Monday, December 13, 2021.    Please stand for our morning prayer as we remember that we are in the presence of God.     In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.   Luke 1:26-28   God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin's name was Mary. The angel went to her and said, "Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you." Thoughts on today's verse:  Wow! Such a familiar sentence packed with emotion. An angel comes to Nazareth to visit and speak with a young woman engaged to be married. Before the history-shattering news is announced, she is given one key reminder that will be truer than she could imag...

                                OUR LADY ACADEMY MORNING ANNOUNCEMENTS Friday, December 10, 2021   Good Morning OLA!   Today is Friday, December 10, 2021.    Please stand for our morning prayer as we remember that we are in the presence of God.     In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.   Deuteronomy 18:15    The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like [Moses] from among your own brothers. You must listen to him. Thoughts on today's verse:  Jesus is that prophet like Moses. He has come and taught us God's truth.  He has taught us with his example, through the deeds he has done. He is teaching us through his abiding presence in us and through the Spirit he has given us. But he teaches us most effectively when we put into practice what he has said. Lord, Help us not only hear his voice, but listen to his message ...
