Today’s toy is a crocheted penguin lovey. Design by ChiWei Ranck.

https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/110724.cfm Paul discussed the traditions and laws of the Jews in today’s first reading. Even though he was circumcised in the Jewish faith, he said it is not necessary for Christians. They need to focus on their relationship with Christ now and not on the many rules of the Jewish religion. In the gospel, Jesus…
