Twenty-first Sunday in Ordinary Time

My Companions pray with me: LORD, please fuel the fire of our desire for You. Change our hearts of stone and make them receptive flesh to accept Your friendship and love. May we know you more fully in Word and Sacrament that our encounter may bring You glory.

Birthdays: Katie (Lay) Johnson (8/19). Anniversary: Mark & Vicki Schnitzer (8/20).
In memoriam: Fr. Joe Hirsch (8/24/2009)
 
Keeping In-touch: We enjoyed our last scheduled summer camping trip and watched the "energizer bunny," Nathan, play with the natural toys of Rocky Mountain National Park. We saw that Julianne & Charlie took their first canoe trip in Iowa. We enjoyed the cooler days... but the heat has returned to the Front Range.
The Readings: Twenty-first Sunday in Ordinary Time

Some Commentary: Fr. John Foley, S. J.
My comments and an invitation for your comments:  If Jesus says, "I don't know you," you must not have accepted His Love. The goal, object, end of our longing for Truth, Beauty, Love is the Unity of the Body of Christ. Why don't we believe, so often, that God's love is infinite and unconditional? Let's live in that Love and invite others to join us.
 
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
