My Companions: Well, I’ve been “a slacker” and failed to update this blog last week… and I’m running late this week. Some of our prayers are being answered*: Lori Beth and Tony received “the call” and will have a baby to adopt in about a month. And Dad told us that his friend who had a stroke walked out of the hospital yesterday. Julie McKay received good news that her cancer was removed. And Nic also received good news about his physical and now can serve as a firefighter! So, as we continue to pray for those who have gone before us, for those who mourn and for those suffering (Dan Montoya from my table at “That Man Is You” asks that we pray for friend who is very ill with meningitis and is in University Hospital, Mike McNutt: “Please put him and his wife Karen in your prayers.), we have much for which to express our gratitude and praise.
*Of course, all our prayers are answered in the Lord’s Wisdom. Some we understand and appreciate more than others.
Birthdays Mike Pintek 9/7 and Anniversaries: Julie (Lay) and Jason Schnitzer 9/5, Lori Beth (Lay) and Tony Gulmantovicz 9/7, Gary and Joan Carnegie 9/8
Keeping-in-touch: I can not think of much new and exciting. We’ve enjoyed watching the US Tennis Open and the Rockies. Marge harvests her garden. My classes keep me busy.

The Readings:

Comments on the Readings: Fr. Foley: Now is the time to give them a big scoop of the truth. “The Son of Man must suffer greatly … and be killed, and rise after three days.” http://www.liturgy.slu.edu/24OrdB091309/reflections_foley.html
My Comments: Ever since I first studied the Gospel of Mark and saw how much Jesus’ chosen apostles just didn’t get it, I’ve been struck by this question: “Who do you say I am?” And I claim that my reply probably says more about me than it does about Jesus! Hopefully, each day in my prayer, I move my self more to the side and more fully become open to Christ who suffers and loves like no other.
May the peace of Christ be with each of you.
