By Laura Scanlan [email protected] Paul wrote a letter to Philemon, a wealthy slave owner. Philemon’s slave, Onesimus ran away. At this time, Romans considered slaves as living property and runaways were severely punished and/ or killed. Paul did not want that to happen to Onesimus. He kind of skips over the fact that This week, St. John XXIII parish will reflect on the Onesimus ran away. Gospel together to grow our skills to pull the Paul tells Philemon that scriptures into our daily lives and share our faith.

Paul stated his hope was Philemon would accept Onesimus as a partner not as a slave and to welcome him as he would welcome Paul.

No, Jesus is telling us that we must put Him first before everyone and everything else. This begs the question – where is God in our lives? Get to Know Jesus! In the Mediterranean world, at the time of Jesus, Come & Participate family meant everything.

Greg made in last weekend’s homily. that will be made of those wanting to be called disciples of Christ. We must be prepared to give our Jesus teaches us about one of the most difficult, all to Him.
