- Sunday Scripture Readings
- Reflection on the Scriptures has become
more and more a part of basic Christian spirituality. At times
we would like to return to the Sunday Scriptures at home, but
we do not have the missalette with us. At other times we may
be interested in seeing just what came before or immediately
after the reading for the day to gain more insights.
To encourage this encounter with
the Scriptures, we will be including in the bulletin the scripture
reading references for the current Sunday and the following Sunday.
In addition, in our on-line bulletin we will have the actual
links to the readings.

- QUESTIONS OF THE
WEEK
- Twentieth Sunday
in Ordinary Time
-
- As Jesus prepared for the suffering
he would endure, he reminded us of the crucible of fire and suffering
we would endure if we made the choice to follow him.
Adults: What sufferings have I experienced
that have brought new life as a result of my choice to follow
Jesus?
Children: How has Jesus helped me when I have
struggled with a difficult or painful experience?

LITURGY
BYTES & BITS
Why is the responsorial psalm supposed to
be sung? The psalms in the Old Testament were written as
songs. Some even have notes about instrumentation. They are poetic
prayers which were used in worship by the community and by individuals.
As poetry they express the whole gamut of human feeling, joy,
sorrow, pain, gratitude, anger, praise. The psalms teach us that
there is no feeling that we cannot bring to our God. We can stand
honestly before God to express ourselves and know that God listens
and understands. We have the examples of the Old Testament psalmist
before us. The psalms have traditionally been attributed to David,
but were actually written over a period of about 1000 years.
David is considered to be the primary author and compiler. --Ministry Resource Update, Resource
Publications, San Jose, California

REST IN PEACE
We offer our prayers and sympathy to Chuck
Harrington and his family. Chuck’s sister Martha Oshel
died this past week. May she and all who have died, rest in the
peace of our Lord.
RESPECT LIFE
The first right of the human person is
his life. He has other goods and some are more precious, but
this one is fundamental - the condition of all the others. Hence
it must be protected above all others. It does not belong to
society, nor does it belong to public authority in any form to
recognize this right for some and not for others: all discrimination
is evil, whether it be founded on race, sex, color or religion.
It is not recognition by another that constitutes this right.
This right is antecedent to its recognition; it demands recognition
and it is strictly unjust to refuse it. Congregation
for the Doctrine of the Faith, Declaration on Procured Abortion
(1974), no. 11
