Twenty-Second Sunday in Ordinary Time

My Companions: Glory and praise to our God, who alone gives life to our world! Forgiveness hurting others by action or inaction...thus hurting You. Thank You for all Your wonderful gifts.  And give us all we need; help us to share our abundance with others.

Birthdays: James Carnegie (8/26).  Anniversary: Fr Joe Hirsch (d. 8/24)

Keeping In-touch: We relaxed and enjoyed our trip to Vail.  Then Marge "fought like a girl" at her first chemo session (8:30 am to 4:00 pm on Friday) and, pleasantly, did not have any reaction to the treatment. We went shopping right away that afternoon for some groceries and took our half hour walk Saturday morning.  Saturday evening we attended the Broncos game and walked a mile and a half to and from "Sports Authority at Mile High."  We went for our walk on Sunday, she received shots at the hospital on Monday, and she's been well. When we arrived at the hospital for chemo, I ran into Deacon Baker who told me that Dcn. Mike Howard had died (see below).  Marge and I were blessed to visit him in his home on the 8th and he died on the 10th.  We were friends who often only had a chance to share topic sentences.

Fr. Foley's Reflections: What's in a Name?

My comments and an invitation for your comments: Do we fear acknowledging Jesus as the Christ because our notion of messiah may not be the Father's gift of the Messiah?

Let us open ourselves to our Brother & Lord, Jesus, who shows us the Father.

John
