Reminder for the 30th Sunday in Ordinary Time, October 26, 2025

Sirach 35:  The LORD is a God of justice,  who knows no favorites.
2 Timothy 4:  The Lord will rescue me from every evil threat and will bring me safe to his heavenly kingdom.
Luke 18:  But the tax collector stood off at a distance and would not even raise his eyes to heaven but beat his breast and prayed, ‘O God, be merciful to me a sinner.’

 

 

I have a friend who follows the sun around her back yard in a deck chair with a glass of fresh fruit juice in one hand and a book in the other. Here’s the question: Is she “wasting” time or “celebrating” time? Think carefully before you answer. It can get to be a very important question as life goes by.

  • 3rd Sunday of Easter, April 19, 2026

    Acts 2:  Jesus the Nazarene was a man commended to you by God with mighty deeds, wonders, and signs, which God worked through him in your midst, as you yourselves know. This man, delivered up by the set plan and foreknowledge of God, you killed, using lawless men to crucify him. But God raised him up, releasing him from the throes of death, because it was impossible for him to be held by it.
    1 Peter 1:  He was known before the foundation of the world but revealed in the final time for you, who through him believe in God who raised him from the dead and gave him glory,
    Luke 24:  That very day, the first day of the week, two of Jesus’ disciples were going to a village seven miles from Jerusalem called Emmaus, and they were conversing about all the things that had occurred.  And it happened that while they were conversing and debating, Jesus himself drew near and walked with them, but their eyes were prevented from recognizing him.
