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.
The Monastic Way, Sister Joan Chittister
