3rd Sunday, October 2015

Hello! and happy holy and family day to all of us; and, it's just 68 days to go before Christmas, GUYS.  For this Sunday's first-thing-first:

 

THE GOOD NEWS (18 October 20215)

 

                1st Reading  :  Isaiah 53:10-11

 

                Psalm           :  Psalm 33:4-22

 

                2nd Reading:  Hebrew 4:14-16

 

                Gospel         :  Mark 10:35-45

"We have a great High Priest, JESUS, the Son of GOD, who has entered heaven.  Let us, then, hold fast to the faith we profess.  Our High Priest is not indifferent to our weaknesses, for HE was tempted in every way just as we are, yet without sinning.  Let us, then, with confidence approach the throne of grace; we will obtain mercy and, through HIS favor, help in due time." - Hebrew 4:14-16 

 

(It is helpful to look at the role of CHRIST, the High Priest, at this time when the Church reminds us that all the faithful are associated with the priestly role of CHRIST.  We must represent humanity before GOD; we are consecrated to GOD for that purpose.

 

 

 

In the Eucharist, we thank GOD in the name of everyone.  In daily life we must be instruments of the grace of GOD by being people who promote truth, encourage love and establish peaceful relationships.)
