Twenty-sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time

My Companions pray with me: LORD, your Spirit will rest on whomever you choose. Help us to mindfully seek you where you may be found. Let your Spirit rest on us and help us to do good. May we quiet ourselves this week and show your glory by living fully. Forgive us our poor choices and let your love flow from us to those who offend us. Give us what we need this week: safe travels for our loved ones, renewed health to Judi and Danielle, and peace to our anxious spirits. Please guide all who have responsibilities to lead in government, business, church and school.

Birthdays: Jack Baker (10/3); In Memoriam: Robert Kilday (10/6).

Keeping In-touch: Well, Friday Marge left me to go see our Iowa grandchildren, Julianne & Charlie, and their parents. But I've kept busy with KofC tootsie roll drive, the Inauguration festivities for our new University President (Fr. John Fitzgibbons, S.J.), and building a website for Presentation of Our Lady Church and School. Marge will return Sunday (so I'll have some house cleaning to do). Otherwise we're just celebrating life one day at a time.

The Readings: Twenty-sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Some Commentary: Fr. John Foley, S. J.
My comments and an invitation for your comments:  The gospel reading this week welcomes us to delight in ecumenical appreciation of God's work in our world. As we seek never to lead others away from the life that the LORD offers each day, we should seek the good works of others rather than constantly condemning the evil or death-dealing works of others. I hope I will take this to heart and find joy in all the good others are doing whether they are a part of one of my communities or not.

Let us listen to the prophets among us for whoever in not against Jesus works with him.

John
