FIFTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME Page 3
PERPETUAL EUCHARISTIC ADORATION 15th Sunday in Ordinary Time Reflection Maybe the work is best left to the professionals. That’s how many people view the preaching of the Gospel. That’s the stuff priests, religious, deacons, lay ministers, and other professional Church people do. It has little to do with me. Well, that’s not really true. The fact of the matter is that preaching the Gospel has everything to do with you, with all of us who are bap- tized members of the Body of Christ. Nobody gets off the hook from that job. The question is, however, how do we do it? Well, there’s a safe way, which many choose, to preach the Gospel N and the risky way. The safe way pretty much keeps the Gospel in church and around likeminded people. I say my prayers, go “When shall we see Our Lord honored day and to Mass, contribute to the food pantry, tithe, and at- night in every parish through the Catholic world? tend Bible Study. That pretty much covers the bases, I love to cherish the hope!” right? Wrong. (Ven. Leo DuPont) The risky way is the more challenging way and for Adorers are needed for the following Open Hours: many, the “road less traveled.” Imagine those first disciples going out and into people’s homes. They Sunday: 1am, 4am, (No Adoration from 7am to 2pm) must have had some amazing conversations with Monday: 1am,3am folks about God’s kingdom, changing their hearts, Tuesday: 11pm wks 1,3,5 forgiving sins, and looking at the world differently. Wednesday: 1am They must have met people who were hurting, exiled Thursday: 2am, 11pm from their communities, neglected, lost, or living Friday: 9pm wks 1,3,5 selfinsulated lives in a society that served the rich Saturday: 12am wks 2 and 5, 1am, 4am, 5am, 6am and neglected the poor. While there were many who (No Adoration from 7am to 6pm), 6pm, 7pm wks 2, 4,5, welcomed what they had to say and the conversations 8pm, 9pm wks 3,5 We are especially in need of Adorers on Saturday. If you they had, there were others who no doubt rejected can commit to two weeks a month, that would be helpful. them and literally tossed them out on their ears! The Contact Kathy Dunworth to schedule a Holy Hour at Gospel, while being a message of joy and hope, is 3023836452 or [email protected] not always received well by those who are very comfortable keeping things as they are. The risky way involves example and conversation. We have to take the Gospel from church and carry it with us wherever we go. What kinds of conversations do we have with others? We interact with those closest to us, in our work, social circles, institutions, corpora- tions, in politics, and beyond. Our conversations with others reveal a great deal about how we see things and what we consider important. If we are really interested in seeing God’s vision for the world succeed, then we will talk about it. It will become a part of our everyday conversation and find its way into our interactions with others. How will we preserve the Please welcome the statue of Our Lady of dignity of human life and encourage others to have a Fatima into your homes. Say the rosary with Our relationship with God?
