PASTOR’S CORNER 1 PARISH MINISTRIES

*A car hit an elderly Jewish man. The paramedic asks, "Are you comfortable - ??" The man says, "I make a good living." * I just got back from a pleasure trip. I took my mother- in-law to the airport. * Someone stole all my credit cards, but I won't be repor ng it. The thief spends less than my wife did. * We always hold hands. If I let go, she shops. * My Wife was at the beauty shop for two hours. That was only for the es mate. She got a mudpack and looked great for two days. Then the mud fell off. * The Doctor gave a man six months to live. The man couldn't pay his bill, so the doctor gave him another six months. * The Doctor called Mrs. Cohen saying, "Mrs. Cohen, your check came back." Mrs. Cohen replied, "So did my arthri s - !!" * Doctor: "You'll live to be 60 - !!" Pa ent: "I AM 60 - !!" Doctor: "See - !! What did I tell you - ??" * A doctor held a stethoscope up to a man's chest. The man asks, "Doc, how do I stand - ??" The doctor says, "That's what puzzles me - !!" * Pa ent: "I have a ringing in my ears." Doctor: "Don't answer - !!" * A drunk was in front of a judge. The judge says, "You've been brought here for drinking." The drunk says, "Okay, let's get started." * A man called his mother in Florida. "Mom, how are you - ??" Not too good," said the mother. "I've been very weak." The son asked, "Why are you so weak - ??" She replied, "Because I haven't eaten in 38 days." The son said, "That's terrible. Why haven't you eaten in 38 days - ?? " The mother answered, "Because, I didn't want my mouth to be full in case you should call." * Q: Why do Jewish mothers make great parole officers - ?? A: They never let anyone finish a sentence.

Study Ques on for the week: According to James, why should we be quick to hear,

slow to speak and slow to anger?

Last week’s answer: What does the Church teach that the ‘word of God’

refers to ? The Church teaches that the ‘word of God’ refers first and foremost to Jesus Christ, the Son of God who is the Word made flesh (Jn 1:1). Also, God’s word has come to us through the preaching and teaching of Jesus and the Apostles (oral and written); through the inspired writ-ings of the Old Testament; and through God’s own creative word that gave rise to creation (Genesis 1). According to Hebrews 4:12, ‘the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and spirit, of joints and marrow and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart’.
