23rd Sunday in Ordinary Time

The Debt of Love We are a church, an assembly of people gathered to do the work of God. This work brings us together around the table of the Lord and sends us out to renew the face of the earth. The task that faces us in the world is awesome, and the obstacles are formidable. The only way we can succeed is by staying together, with Jesus in our midst, and our staying together must involve community efforts to correct our faults. When there is racism or sexism in our church, we must confront them and work to eliminate them. When economic injustice is found in our church institutions, we must speak out against it and work to eliminate it. When militarism makes its way into the fabric of our community, we must stand up for peace and proclaim the gospel message of nonviolent change. Owe no debt to anyone except the debt that binds us to love one another. An essential component of that love should be the help we give each other in overcoming the shortcomings that get in the way of our becoming a universal sacrament of salvation.. Gerald Darring

“We must serve the Church and love her as she is, with a clear understanding of history, and humbly searching for the will of God who assists and guides her even when at times He permits human weakness to eclipse the purity of her features and the beauty of her action. It is this purity and beauty which we are endeavoring to discover and promote.” Pope Paul VI, Ecclesiam Suam (1964) 49 September 7, 2008

Some καιρός / kairos thoughts… καιρός / kairos—Greek—time—viewed as an occasion rather than an extent

You cannot change others, no but you can see them with new eyes

Prayer List

Christ eyes who sees all with respect and understanding anda Poem from liturgy.slu.edu

Do Christians correct and care for each other? Around the world, we are bound together in Christ Jesus. We are not perfect, but we ought to urge each other to better follow the Lord. In Christ, we can reconcile and be reconciled. Love is the one thing that cannot hurt your neighbor; it is the answer to all the commandments. When we gather in his name, the Lord is with us. If the Lord is with us, who can be against us? Philip J. Sandstrom, S.T.D. © 2002 Oregon Catholic Press. All rights reserved.
