Nineteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

My Companions pray with me: LORD, help me to trust in You and to know Your loving trust. I desire to receive You in my daily life and be ready for the glorious forevermore You have promised. May I praise You with my life, know Your forgiveness, gratefully share Your blessings, and call on You for all my needs.

Birthdays: Gary Carnegie (8/7), Bev Grau (8/8) Neil Cyrus (8/11). In memoriam: Lina Kilday (8/6), Phil Bammer (8/7), Jean Lay (8/8), Mike Howard (8/10)

 
Keeping In-touch: We did have a wonderful time celebrating Tim Weed's profession to Holy Cross Fathers in Colorado Springs, he now begins four years of study in Theology at Notre Dame University. I played golf for the first time this year, tennis was rained-out, but we appreciate the "pennies from heaven" as the "monsoon flow" has returned to Colorado.

The Readings: Nineteenth Sunday in OrdinaryTime

Some Commentary: Fr. John Foley, S. J.
My comments and an invitation for your comments:  It may be fitting that I have a few people to remember from my calendar this week. The Gospel calls us to be ready for The Lord's Return. Thinking about our inevitable death gives us an opportunity to reflect on how we live our lives. And knowing Christ, we should live our lives with joy!

 

An Invitation: Hopefully, this blog enriches your celebration of the Liturgy at the gathering of your community each week. We do not field many "Comments, Reflections, Insights..."  Sharing your thoughts and feelings on the Gospel may enhance your celebration even more. I have another gift for you: I'll build you a small group Gospel sharing site for groups of 4 to 8 people. See an example here.

Become a Host or Hostess for your Gospel sharing group this week.

John
