After being out in Los Angeles for the past three weekends for mission appeals, I headed out to New England for a mission appeal in Rhode Island this weekend. This summer at our parishes in Clinton and Raymond, I have been addressing the topics of the eucharistic renewal, our outreach to our brothers and sisters in need through works of mercy, and the evangelization of our parish community and those beyond our community boundaries. As we hear Jesus ask Peter who he says that Jesus is, we all need to proclaim who Jesus on our own journey of faith, most importantly in the way we live out our faith each day, not just in our words. It is easy for us to say something in words, but more challenging for us to live out the meaning of those words each day. May the values of our faith be integral to the way we live each day. Have a blessings week everyone - Father Lincoln.
This is a blog of homilies, reflections, and photos from a Roman Catholic priest serving in the Diocese of Jackson in the state of Mississippi. Currently, I am the pastor of Holy Savior in Clinton and Immaculate Conception in Raymond. I have served as Vicar General of the Diocese since July 2019. I also serve as Catholic chaplain in the federal prison in Yazoo City and the state prison in Pearl.
