Keeping In-touch: Well, the rains came. Many are suffering, remember them in your prayer. Our basement flooded but we're drying out and looking to celebrate Broomfield Days.

The Readings: Twenty-fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Some Commentary: Fr. John Foley, S. J.
My comments and an invitation for your comments:  This Gospel, on first take, is difficult because it seem that the crafty, too proud and too lazy steward is rewarded for his corruption. We should imitate the cleverness not the corruption.
.

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.

Twenty-fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time

My Companions pray with me: LORD, thank You for Your great love that searches for us when we go astray, that brings us back to unity with You and our sisters and brothers, that calls for celebration in this life and forevermore. Forgive all our "sword-rattling" as individuals or nations. Let us see Your glory in all we encounter and in Your creation. Please bring peace to our world.

Birthdays: MaryKate Weed (9/13), Taylor Smith (9/5).

 
Keeping In-touch: The heat slowed us down last week, but we're enjoying a break at the start of this week. We enjoyed the Broncos football opener. I guess we're just active with friends and the start of the academic year.

The Readings: Twenty-fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Some Commentary: Fr. John Foley, S. J.
My comments and an invitation for your comments:  The Good News has been a bit challenging the past few weeks, but this weeks Gospel allows some time to contemplate the awesome love and desire The Lord has for us as He searches for us and then celebrates with us. He forgives us and calls us to be lovers again!

Twenty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time

My Companions pray with me: LORD, how could we love You with all our heart, all our mind, and all our soul if we did not know of Your unconditional love and desire for us? Forgive our lack of mindfulness and awareness of Your love. Help us to know that we can "go and sell everything" but find abundant life in You. You will provide for all we need.

Birthdays: Joseph Foresman (9/3), Eric Carlson (9/5), Mike Pintek (9/7). Anniversaries: Julie (Lay) & Jason Schnitzer (9/5), Carman & Leo Albiniak (9/6), Lori Beth (Lay) & Tony Gulmantovicz (9/7), Joan & Gary Carnegie (9/8); In memoriam: Emma Lay (9/5/1974).

 
Keeping In-touch: Our week was filled with joy: dinner at Grau's, golf with high school tennis partner, and dinner with old friends from high school; and work: Marge with care-giving and John with "academic catch-up." The U.S. Tennis Open on T.V. and the good start to Notre Dame and University of Colorado football season leads us to an active fall.

The Readings: Twenty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time

Some Commentary: Fr. John Foley, S. J.
My comments and an invitation for your comments:  This Gospel challenges my attachment to people, especially my Bride, family, & companions, and to things, but most of the "stuff" I appreciate because it allows me to enjoy the people. The challenge is to always put The Lord first and not forget He will provide all I need.
