Again they are thinking not as God, but as human beings (see A note to families from the Salina Diocese: Mark 8:33). And again Jesus teaches the Twelve -- the chosen During September, the Office of the New Evangelization is focusing leaders of His Church -- that they must lead by imitating His on Pope Francis’ visit to the for the World Meeting of example of love and self-sacrifice. They must be "servants of Families. One of the official observances of the Pope’s visit is an all," especially the weak and the helpless - symbolized by the invitation to have a votive candle lit for your intention at the child He embraces and places in their midst. Philadelphia cathedral basilica. Information about an official candle is found at http://www.worldmeeting2015.org/spirituality- center/light-candle/ As an alternative, you may wish to light a This is a lesson for us, too. We must have the mind of Christ, votive candle at your own parish and/or in your own home, along who humbled himself to come among us (see Philippians 2: 5- with praying the Prayer for the World Meeting of Families. 11). We must freely offer ourselves, making everything we do a sacrifice in praise of His name. WORLD MEETING OF FAMILIES PRAYER God and Father of us all, in Jesus, your Son and our Savior, As James says in today's Epistle, we must seek wisdom from you have made us your sons and daughters in the family of above, desiring humility not glory, and in all things be gentle the Church. May your grace and love help our families in and full of mercy. every part of the world be united to one another in fidelity to the Gospel. May the example of the Holy Family, with the aid Finding Christ in the Psalms of your Holy Spirit, guide all families, especially those most troubled, to be homes of communion and prayer and to Jesus taught His Apostles that the Book of Psalms speaks of always seek your truth and live in your love. Through Christ Him and His mission. "Everything written about Me in the our Lord. Amen. Jesus, Mary and , pray for us! Law of and in the Prophets and Psalms must be World Meeting of Families –Philadelphia 2015 fulfilled," He told them on the night of His Resurrection (see Luke 24:44).

Servant of All: Scott Hahn Reflects on the Jesus applied specific Psalms to himself (see Matthew 21:42- Twenty-fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time 44 and 22:41-46). So did the apostles in their preaching and writings (see Acts 2:25-35 and Hebrews 1:5-14). Readings: Wisdom 2:12,17-20; Psalm 54:3-8; James 3:16- This ancient practice continues in the liturgy. In the Psalms 4:3; Mark 9:30-37 (see below "Finding Christ in the Psalms") chosen for Sunday Mass readings, sometimes the Church invites us to hear a direct reference to Christ. Other times, we're invited to hear the voice of Christ crying out to the Father. And still other times, we hear the Father talking to the In today's First Reading, it's like we have our ears pressed to Son. the wall and can hear the murderous grumblings of the elders, chief priests and scribes - who last week Jesus predicted Psalm 54 is heard this way in the readings for the 25th Sunday would torture and kill Him (see Mark 8:31; 10:33-34). in Ordinary Time. Originally sung by when he was betrayed by the Ziphites (see 1 23:19-25 and 26:1-3), The liturgy invites us to see this passage from the Book of we're invited to hear the Psalm as a confident appeal by Christ Wisdom as a prophecy of the Lord's Passion. We hear His in His Passion: "Fierce men seek My life...Behold...the Lord enemies complain that "the Just One" has challenged their sustains My life." authority, reproached them for breaking the law of Moses, for betraying their training as leaders and teachers. The same is true of the use of Psalm 116 in the 24th Sunday in Ordinary Time (Cycle B). We hear our Lord's voice as He And we hear chilling words that foreshadow how they will gives thanks that God has rescued Him, freed His soul from mock Him as He hangs on the cross: "For if the Just One be death and the snares of the nether world. the Son of God, He will...deliver Him..." (compare Matthew 27:41-43). Calling All Ladies to the West Vicariate SDCCW Meeting at Sacred Heart Church in Colby on Today's Gospel and Psalm give us the flip side of the First Sept. 26. Registration begins at 8:30 with refreshments and Reading. In both, we hear of Jesus' sufferings from His point coffee. Meeting will go from 9:00-2:00 with Mass at 10:00 and of view. Though His enemies surround Him, He offers himself Rosary following. Come enjoy another great meeting! The freely in sacrifice, trusting that God will sustain Him. theme of the day will be "HOPE". We will enjoy lunch at noon (donations for that) and wonderful fellowship with faithful Catholic women. What more can you ask for? But the apostles today don't understand this second announcement of Christ's passion. They begin arguing over issues of succession -- over who among them is greatest, who will be chosen to lead after Christ is killed.
