Reminder for 26th Sunday, Ordinary Time, 9/26/2021

Ezekiel 47:  This water flows into the eastern district down upon the Arabah, and empties into the sea, the salt waters, which it makes fresh.  Wherever the river flows, every sort of living creature that can multiply shall live, and there shall be abundant fish, for wherever this water comes the sea shall be made fresh.
1 Corinthians 3:  Do you not know that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
 John 2:   He made a whip out of cords and drove them all out of the temple area, with the sheep and oxen, and spilled the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables,and to those who sold doves he said, “Take these out of here, and stop making my Father’s house a marketplace.”

Every one who looks bad isn’t, and everyone who looks suave isn’t. “Always check to see,” the Irish say, “that there’s bread under the butter.”

A message from Lynda Fleming:

Another Reminder for Sunday, November 7, 2021.

Here are the links for Sunday:

1 Kings 19:  After the fire there was a tiny whispering sound. When he heard this, Elijah hid his face in his cloak and went and stood at the entrance of the cave.
Romans 9:   They are Israelites; theirs the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the worship, and the promises; theirs the patriarchs, and from them, according to the flesh, is the Christ, who is over all, God blessed forever. Amen.
Matthew 14:  Peter said to him in reply, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.”  He said, “Come.”  Peter got out of the boat and began to walk on the water toward Jesus.  But when he saw how strong the wind was he became frightened; and, beginning to sink, he cried out, “Lord, save me!”

What we love to do in life is what will make life happy for us. Not “easy,” perhaps, but definitely happy. Easy does almost nothing well. But love does everything to the utmost and without counting the cost. “When love and skill work together,” John Ruskin writes, “expect a masterpiece.”
The Monastic Way, Sister Joan Chittister
