Welcome to ALIVE! with Fr. Jonathan Meyer. This week, on the 22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time, the Gospel challenges us to rediscover the simple but powerful act of hospitality. When was the last time you invited someone into your home for a meal—or were invited yourself? Sharing food and conversation is not just social, it's deeply spiritual. Jesus calls us to open our doors not just to friends and family, but especially to the poor, the forgotten, and those who may feel alone. Fr. Meyer reflects on the Gospel and his own memories to encourage us to reclaim the dinner table as a place of faith, fellowship, and evangelization.

7 Keys to Soul-Resusitation (Ep. 477)We all know the urgency of resuscitating someone who's collapsed and become non-responsive—seconds matter, life hangs in the balance. Spiritually, many of us live in that condition. We may still be breathing, moving, even “practicing our faith”—but inside, our souls are gasping. The light has dimmed. We're less than fully alive, drifting in weariness, woundedness, or distraction.Here's the good news: God has provided the means for spiritual resuscitation. His Word, His Sacraments, His Spirit—all are given to flood our lungs with grace, to restart the heart, to breathe new fire into our sails. Jesus is not content for us to survive; He came that we might have life, and have it abundantly (John 10:10).This week on IGNITE Radio Live, we open the Gospel (Luke 14:1, 7–14) and identify 7 Keys to Soul-Resuscitation—practical ways to recognize where the Enemy has lulled us into spiritual unconsciousness, and how to cooperate with the Holy Spirit to awaken joy, peace, and the vitality of heaven here and now.God is calling. His grace is waiting. A resuscitated soul awaits those who will hear and receive.

12 He said therefore: A certain nobleman went into a far country, to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.Dixit ergo : Homo quidam nobilis abiit in regionem longinquam accipere sibi regnum, et reverti. 13 And calling his ten servants, he gave them ten pounds, and said to them: Trade till I come.Vocatis autem decem servis suis, dedit eis decem mnas, et ait ad illos : Negotiamini dum venio. 14 But his citizens hated him: and they sent an embassage after him, saying: We will not have this man to reign over us.Cives autem ejus oderant eum : et miserunt legationem post illum, dicentes : Nolumus hunc regnare super nos. 15 And it came to pass, that he returned, having received the kingdom: and he commanded his servants to be called, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.Et factum est ut rediret accepto regno : et jussit vocari servos, quibus dedit pecuniam, ut sciret quantum quisque negotiatus esset. 16 And the first came, saying: Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.Venit autem primus dicens : Domine, mna tua decem mnas acquisivit. 17 And he said to him: Well done, thou good servant, because thou hast been faithful in a little, thou shalt have power over ten cities.Et ait illi : Euge bone serve, quia in modico fuisti fidelis, eris potestatem habens super decem civitates. 18 And the second came, saying: Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.Et alter venit, dicens : Domine, mna tua fecit quinque mnas. 19 And he said to him: Be thou also over five cities.Et huic ait : Et tu esto super quinque civitates. 20 And another came, saying: Lord, behold here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin;Et alter venit, dicens : Domine, ecce mna tua, quam habui repositam in sudario : 21 For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up what thou didst not lay down, and thou reapest that which thou didst not sow.timui enim te, quia homo austerus es : tollis quod non posuisti, et metis quod non seminasti. 22 He saith to him: Out of thy own mouth I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up what I laid not down, and reaping that which I did not sow:Dicit ei : De ore tuo te judico, serve nequam. Sciebas quod ego homo austerus sum, tollens quod non posui, et metens quod non seminavi : 23 And why then didst thou not give my money into the bank, that at my coming, I might have exacted it with usury?et quare non dedisti pecuniam meam ad mensam, ut ego veniens cum usuris utique exegissem illam? 24 And he said to them that stood by: Take the pound away from him, and give it to him that hath ten pounds.Et astantibus dixit : Auferte ab illo mnam, et date illi qui decem mnas habet. 25 And they said to him: Lord, he hath ten pounds.Et dixerunt ei : Domine, habet decem mnas. 26 But I say to you, that to every one that hath shall be given, and he shall abound: and from him that hath not, even that which he hath, shall be taken from him.Dico autem vobis, quia omni habenti dabitur, et abundabit : ab eo autem qui non habet, et quod habet auferetur ab eo.The pious queen of France, Blanche, educated her son Louis IX to be a model for all kings in his faith, courage and love of justice . He undertook two crusades to reconquer the Holy Land. The plague, which decimated his army in Africa, struck him down and he died at Tunis. This most Christian king reigned from 1226 to 1270.

32 Fear not, little flock, for it hath pleased your Father to give you a kingdom.Nolite timere pusillus grex, quia complacuit Patri vestro dare vobis regnum. 33 Sell what you possess and give alms. Make to yourselves bags which grow not old, a treasure in heaven which faileth not: where no thief approacheth, nor moth corrupteth.Vendite quae possidetis, et date eleemosynam. Facite vobis sacculos, qui non veterascunt, thesaurum non deficientem in caelis : quo fur non appropriat, neque tinea corrumpit. 34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.Ubi enim thesaurus vester est, ibi et cor vestrum erit.St Philip was born at Florence of the noble family of Benizi.

In 1643, he founded the Congregation of Jesus and Mary, called the Eudists, an institute combining the work of parochial missions, with that of training and reform of the clergy; and a year later the Congregation of Sisters of the Good Shepard. In his widely read writings, he was first to urge public devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

Friends of the Rosary,Today, the twentieth Sunday in ordinary time, St. Paul, in this letter to the Hebrews (Heb 12:1-4), invites us to get rid of every sin and burden that keeps us away from the race of holiness and set our eyes fixed on Jesus, “the leader and perfecter of faith”, considering “how he endured such opposition from sinners.”Meanwhile, in the main reading of the Gospel (Luke 12:49-53), Christ Jesus reveals that He came to bring the fire of faith, setting the “earth on fire.”Our true family is always in Christ — we are followers of Christ by our baptism, loving and appreciating what He did for us.A household that does not share the truth of the Gospel will be divided. Its apparent concord is broken. Peace doesn't reign in there.Family members who are faithful form domestic churches, where faith is lived and nurtured, mirroring the larger Church.Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

20th Sunday in Ordinary Time Office of Readings and Morning Prayer for 8/17/25 Gospel: Luke 12:49-53

 9 And to some who trusted in themselves as just, and despised others, he spoke also this parable:Dixit autem et ad quosdam qui in se confidebant tamquam justi, et aspernabantur ceteros, parabolam istam : 10 Two men went up into the temple to pray: the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.Duo homines ascenderunt in templum ut orarent : unus pharisaeus et alter publicanus. 11 The Pharisee standing, prayed thus with himself: O God, I give thee thanks that I am not as the rest of men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, as also is this publican.Pharisaeus stans, haec apud se orabat : Deus, gratias ago tibi, quia non sum sicut ceteri hominum : raptores, injusti, adulteri, velut etiam hic publicanus : 12 I fast twice in a week: I give tithes of all that I possess.jejuno bis in sabbato, decimas do omnium quae possideo. 13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not so much as lift up his eyes towards heaven; but struck his breast, saying: O God, be merciful to me a sinner.Et publicanus a longe stans, nolebat nec oculos ad caelum levare : sed percutiebat pectus suum, dicens : Deus propitius esto mihi peccatori. 14 I say to you, this man went down into his house justified rather than the other: because every one that exalteth himself, shall be humbled: and he that humbleth himself, shall be exalted.Dico vobis, descendit hic justificatus in domum suam ab illo : quia omnis qui se exaltat, humiliabitur, et qui se humiliat, exaltabitur.

Gospel: Luke 12:49-56. Sermon by Rev Lori Walton. The post Sermon for August 17 2025 appeared first on St. James' Episcopal Church Fremont.

Today's Topics: 1) Gospel - Luke 1:39-56 - Mary set out and traveled to the hill country in haste to a town of Judah, where she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the infant leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth, filled with the Holy Spirit, cried out in a loud voice and said, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the Fruit of your womb. And how does this happen to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For at the moment the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy. Blessed are you who believed that what was spoken to you by the Lord would be fulfilled.” And Mary said: “My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord; my spirit rejoices in God my Savior for He has looked with favor on His lowly servant. From this day all generations will call me blessed: the Almighty has done great things for me and holy is His Name. He has mercy on those who fear Him in every generation. He has shown the strength of His Arm, and has scattered the proud in their conceit. He has cast down the mighty from their thrones, and has lifted up the lowly. He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich He has sent away empty. He has come to the help of His servant Israel for He has remembered His promise of mercy, the promise He made to our fathers, to Abraham and his children forever.” Mary remained with her about three months and then returned to her home.

41 And it came to pass, that when Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the infant leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:Et factum est, ut audivit salutationem Mariae Elisabeth, exsultavit infans in utero ejus : et repleta est Spiritu Sancto Elisabeth : 42 And she cried out with a loud voice, and said: Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.et exclamavit voce magna, et dixit : Benedicta tu inter mulieres, et benedictus fructus ventris tui. 43 And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?Et unde hoc mihi, ut veniat mater Domini mei ad me? 44 For behold as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy.Ecce enim ut facta est vox salutationis tuae in auribus meis, exsultavit in gaudio infans in utero meo. 45 And blessed art thou that hast believed, because those things shall be accomplished that were spoken to thee by the Lord.Et beata, quae credidisti, quoniam perficientur ea, quae dicta sunt tibi a Domino. 46 And Mary said: My soul doth magnify the Lord.Et ait Maria : Magnificat anima mea Dominum : 47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.et exsultavit spiritus meus in Deo salutari meo. 48 Because he hath regarded the humility of his handmaid; for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.Quia respexit humilitatem ancillae suae : ecce enim ex hoc beatam me dicent omnes generationes,49 Because he that is mighty, hath done great things to me; and holy is his name.quia fecit mihi magna qui potens est : et sanctum nomen ejus, 50 And his mercy is from generation unto generations, to them that fear him.et misericordia ejus a progenie in progenies timentibus eum.Mary was cared for by St John for twelve years after our Lord's Ressurection. Her life was spent in helping the Apostles and in praying for the conversion of the world. On the third day after Mary's death, when the Apostles gathered around her tomb, they found it empty. The sacred body had been carried up to the celestial paradise. Jesus Himself came to conduct here thither; the whole court of heaven came to welcome with songs of triumph the Mother of the Divine Word.

 27 And it came to pass, as he spoke these things, a certain woman from the crowd, lifting up her voice, said to him: Blessed is the womb that bore thee, and the paps that gave thee suck.Factum est autem, cum haec diceret : extollens vocem quaedam mulier de turba dixit illi : Beatus venter qui te portavit, et ubera quae suxisti. 28 But he said: Yea rather, blessed are they who hear the word of God, and keep it.At ille dixit : Quinimmo beati, qui audiunt verbum Dei et custodiunt illud.

 1 And when great multitudes stood about him, so that they trod one upon another, he began to say to his disciples: Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.Multis autem turbis circumstantibus, ita ut se invicem conculcarent, coepit dicere ad discipulos suos : Attendite a fermento pharisaeorum, quod est hypocrisis. 2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed: nor hidden, that shall not be known.Nihil autem opertum est, quod non reveletur : neque absconditum, quod non sciatur. 3 For whatsoever things you have spoken in darkness, shall be published in the light: and that which you have spoken in the ear in the chambers, shall be preached on the housetops.Quoniam quae in tenebris dixistis, in lumine dicentur : et quod in aurem locuti estis in cubiculis, praedicabitur in tectis. 4 And I say to you, my friends: Be not afraid of them who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.Dico autem vobis amicis meis : Ne terreamini ab his qui occidunt corpus, et post haec non habent amplius quid faciant. 5 But I will shew you whom you shall fear: fear ye him, who after he hath killed, hath power to cast into hell. Yea, I say to you, fear him.Ostendam autem vobis quem timeatis : timete eum qui, postquam occiderit, habet potestatem mittere in gehennam : ita dico vobis, hunc timete. 6 Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?Nonne quinque passeres veneunt dipondio, et unus ex illis non est in oblivione coram Deo? 7 Yea, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: you are of more value than many sparrows.sed et capilli capitis vestri omnes numerati sunt. Nolite ergo timere : multis passeribus pluris estis vos. 8 And I say to you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God.Dico autem vobis : Omnis quicumque confessus fuerit me coram hominibus, et Filius hominis confitebitur illum coram angelis Dei :Hyppolytus, guardian of St Laurence, was converted and baptised by the Saint.

Listen to Him: The Transfiguration and the Tent of the Heart Today's Homily reflects on the mystery of the Transfiguration, celebrated twice each year, . . . . . . and draws connections between the vision in the Book of Daniel, the Gospel account, and the liturgy of the Mass. The Homily emphasizes that the Transfiguration reveals Jesus not just as a foretaste of the Resurrection, but as the One who fully bears the divine authority, glory, and voice of God. On the mountain, the veil of His humility falls away, revealing His luminous divinity in the presence of Moses (the Law) and Elijah (the Prophets), both of whom find their fulfillment in Christ. Our Almighty Father Commands the Disciples to “Listen to Him” God's voice from the cloud affirms Jesus as His Son and commands the disciples to “listen to Him,” shifting focus from sight to hearing and from temporary visions to the enduring “tent of the heart.” The Homily applies this mystery to the Mass, where hearts are lifted with Christ, who becomes truly present on the altar. Receiving Him in the Eucharist is dwelling permanently with the fullness of God's self-revelation, a call to live daily in attentive listening to Him. Hear more within this Meditation Media. Listen to Him: The Transfiguration and the Tent of the Heart -------------------------------------------------------------- Quote from the Homily This is not the Lord rejecting Moses or Elijah. He speaks through them, but the fullness of his speaking is found in and through Jesus Christ. What Almighty God is saying to St. Peter, you only need one tent. You don't need three. You need that tent of permanence in your heart where you abide with him and listen to him and enthrone him and live with him. The Lord never says it's wrong to ask for what you did, but he clarifies what you should be asking for. Listen to him. Remain with him. Abide with him and why. The eye sees many things.

Fear Not, Little Flock: God Is Pleased to Give You a Kingdom Today's Homily reflects on St. Louis Marie de Montfort's unwavering conviction that God . . . . . . had called him to found a congregation to renew the Church, despite repeated failures during his lifetime. His steadfast faith led him to pray ardently, write a rule of life, and even compose a letter to members of a congregation that did not yet exist . . . urging them, as Jesus did, to “fear not, little flock.” God is Pleased to Give His People a Kingdom The central message is that God is pleased to give His people a kingdom, not reluctantly but joyfully, and that this identity as heirs to the kingdom outweighs all weakness, poverty, or insignificance. The Homily challenges us to live in hopeful expectation of God's promises, preparing themselves for the kingdom by living faithfully, using the great trust God has placed in them. Jesus' call to be vigilant is a reminder that those entrusted with much are accountable for much. The Eucharist is presented as the supreme moment when Christ entrusts Himself to His people, sending them forth with the true greatness of His presence to live according to the gift they have received.

Listen to: Fear Not, Little Flock: God Is Pleased to Give You a Kingdom --------------------------------------------------------------- Quote from the Homily Note the expression, it has pleased God, the Father, to give you a kingdom. What a remarkable statement that is, not simply that God has promised something. But that he's delighted to make that promise that in making this promise to you, there is something that pleases his heart. It is not that God begrudgingly gives you something. It is not that God reluctantly agrees to help you. God is pleased. Pleased to give you a kingdom. Note the weight of that statement. God is pleased. It delights God to call you into His kingdom and to open the possibility that the very wealth of heavenly goodness is yours. And he does it, not reluctantly, but joyfully. It pleases him to do this for you. And in quoting the Lord, Father de Montford spoke to his community that did not yet exist. --------------------------------------------------------------- St. Louis de Montfort The statue of Montfort currently resides in the Montfort Spiritual Center Chapel.

1 And when great multitudes stood about him, so that they trod one upon another, he began to say to his disciples: Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.Multis autem turbis circumstantibus, ita ut se invicem conculcarent, coepit dicere ad discipulos suos : Attendite a fermento pharisaeorum, quod est hypocrisis. 2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed: nor hidden, that shall not be known.Nihil autem opertum est, quod non reveletur : neque absconditum, quod non sciatur. 3 For whatsoever things you have spoken in darkness, shall be published in the light: and that which you have spoken in the ear in the chambers, shall be preached on the housetops.Quoniam quae in tenebris dixistis, in lumine dicentur : et quod in aurem locuti estis in cubiculis, praedicabitur in tectis. 4 And I say to you, my friends: Be not afraid of them who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.Dico autem vobis amicis meis : Ne terreamini ab his qui occidunt corpus, et post haec non habent amplius quid faciant. 5 But I will shew you whom you shall fear: fear ye him, who after he hath killed, hath power to cast into hell. Yea, I say to you, fear him.Ostendam autem vobis quem timeatis : timete eum qui, postquam occiderit, habet potestatem mittere in gehennam : ita dico vobis, hunc timete. 6 Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?Nonne quinque passeres veneunt dipondio, et unus ex illis non est in oblivione coram Deo? 7 Yea, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: you are of more value than many sparrows.sed et capilli capitis vestri omnes numerati sunt. Nolite ergo timere : multis passeribus pluris estis vos. 8 And I say to you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God.Dico autem vobis : Omnis quicumque confessus fuerit me coram hominibus, et Filius hominis confitebitur illum coram angelis Dei :The Roman deacon Tibertius, son of the prefect of Rome, was beheaded after suffering many cruel torments A.D. 286.Susanna, a holy virgin of high lineage, refused to marry the son of Diocletian, and was beheaded after grievous torments A.D. 295.

And they shall not leave in thee a stone upon a stone: because thou hast not known the time of thy visitation.45et ingressus in templum coepit eicere vendentes in illo et ementesAnd entering into the temple, he began to cast out them that sold therein and them that bought.46dicens illis scriptum est quia domus mea domus orationis est vos autem fecistis illam speluncam latronumSaying to them: It is written: My house is the house of prayer. But you have made it a den of thieves.47et erat docens cotidie in templo principes autem sacerdotum et scribae et principes plebis quaerebant illum perdereAnd he was teaching daily in the temple.

 27 And it came to pass, as he spoke these things, a certain woman from the crowd, lifting up her voice, said to him: Blessed is the womb that bore thee, and the paps that gave thee suck.Factum est autem, cum haec diceret : extollens vocem quaedam mulier de turba dixit illi : Beatus venter qui te portavit, et ubera quae suxisti. 28 But he said: Yea rather, blessed are they who hear the word of God, and keep it.At ille dixit : Quinimmo beati, qui audiunt verbum Dei et custodiunt illud.The Dedication of the Church of our Lady of the SnowThe Church was built at Rome, on Mount Esquiline, in the fourth century during the pontificate of Pope Liberius. In the middle ages a graceful and popular tradition ascribed its foundation to a noble patrician who, having been favoured with a vision of Mary, caused it to be erected on a spot covered by a miraculous fall of snow.

 35 Let your loins be girt, and lamps burning in your hands.Sint lumbi vestri praecincti, et lucernae ardentes in manibus vestris, 36 And you yourselves like to men who wait for their lord, when he shall return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open to him immediately.et vos similes hominibus exspectantibus dominum suum quando revertatur a nuptiis : ut, cum venerit et pulsaverit, confestim aperiant ei. 37 Blessed are those servants, whom the Lord when he cometh, shall find watching. Amen I say to you, that he will gird himself, and make them sit down to meat, and passing will minister unto them.Beati servi illi quos, cum venerit dominus, invenerit vigilantes : amen dico vobis, quod praecinget se, et faciet illos discumbere, et transiens ministrabit illis. 38 And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.Et si venerit in secunda vigilia, et si in tertia vigilia venerit, et ita invenerit, beati sunt servi illi. 39 But this know ye, that if the householder did know at what hour the thief would come, he would surely watch, and would not suffer his house to be broken open.Hoc autem scitote, quoniam si sciret paterfamilias, qua hora fur veniret, vigilaret utique, et non sineret perfodi domum suam. 40 Be you then also ready: for at what hour you think not, the Son of man will come.Et vos estote parati : quia qua hora non putatis, Filius hominis veniet.Dominic Guzman, born in Spain, opposed the errors of the Albigenses.

18th Sunday in Ordinary Time Office of Readings and Morning Prayer for 8/3/25 Gospel: Luke 12:13-21

Eighth Sunday after Pentecost Old Testament Ecclesiastes 1:2, 12-14; 2:18-23 Vanity of vanities, says the Teacher, vanity of vanities! All is vanity. I, the Teacher, when king over Israel in Jerusalem, applied my mind to seek and to search out by wisdom all that is done under heaven; it is an unhappy business that God has given to human beings to be busy with. I saw all the deeds that are done under the sun; and see, all is vanity and a chasing after wind. I hated all my toil in which I had toiled under the sun, seeing that I must leave it to those who come after me -- and who knows whether they will be wise or foolish? Yet they will be master of all for which I toiled and used my wisdom under the sun. This also is vanity. So I turned and gave my heart up to despair concerning all the toil of my labors under the sun, because sometimes one who has toiled with wisdom and knowledge and skill must leave all to be enjoyed by another who did not toil for it. This also is vanity and a great evil. What do mortals get from all the toil and strain with which they toil under the sun? For all their days are full of pain, and their work is a vexation; even at night their minds do not rest. This also is vanity. The Psalm Psalm 49:1-11 Audite haec, omnes 1 Hear this, all you peoples; hearken, all you who dwell in the world, * you of high degree and low, rich and poor together. 2 My mouth shall speak of wisdom, * and my heart shall meditate on understanding. 3 I will incline my ear to a proverb * and set forth my riddle upon the harp. 4 Why should I be afraid in evil days, * when the wickedness of those at my heels surrounds me, 5 The wickedness of those who put their trust in their goods, * and boast of their great riches? 6 We can never ransom ourselves, * or deliver to God the price of our life; 7 For the ransom of our life is so great, * that we should never have enough to pay it, 8 In order to live for ever and ever, * and never see the grave. 9 For we see that the wise die also; like the dull and stupid they perish * and leave their wealth to those who come after them. 10 Their graves shall be their homes for ever, their dwelling places from generation to generation, * though they call the lands after their own names. 11 Even though honored, they cannot live for ever; * they are like the beasts that perish. The Epistle Colossians 3:1-11 If you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth, for you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life is revealed, then you also will be revealed with him in glory. Put to death, therefore, whatever in you is earthly: fornication, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed (which is idolatry). On account of these the wrath of God is coming on those who are disobedient. These are the ways you also once followed, when you were living that life. But now you must get rid of all such things-- anger, wrath, malice, slander, and abusive language from your mouth. Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have stripped off the old self with its practices and have clothed yourselves with the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge according to the image of its creator. In that renewal there is no longer Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave and free; but Christ is all and in all! The Gospel Luke 12:13-21 Someone in the crowd said to Jesus, "Teacher, tell my brother to divide the family inheritance with me." But he said to him, "Friend, who set me to be a judge or arbitrator over you?" And he said to them, "Take care! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; for one's life does not consist in the abundance of possessions." Then he told them a parable: "The land of a rich man produced abundantly. And he thought to himself, `What should I do, for I have no place to store my crops?' Then he said, `I will do this: I will pull down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. And I will say to my soul, `Soul, you have ample goods laid up for many years; relax, eat, drink, be merry.' But God said to him, `You fool! This very night your life is being demanded of you. And the things you have prepared, whose will they be?' So it is with those who store up treasures for themselves but are not rich toward God."

Gospel  Luke 10:38-42 Jesus entered a village where a woman whose name was Martha welcomed him. She had a sister named Mary who sat beside the Lord at his feet listening to him speak. Martha, burdened with much serving, came to him and said, “Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me by myself to do the serving? Tell her to help me.” The Lord said to her in reply, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and worried about many things. There is need of only one thing. Mary has chosen the better part and it will not be taken from her.” Reflection Most of us have grown up in a religion that had lots of things that we were taught to do. Do this, do that. Finish this, finish that. And what it leads to often is a misunderstanding that the real work that we have as a church, as a religion, is to be in a disposition of radical openness to the essence of who Jesus is and thereby knowing who the father is. We need to spend time pondering and wondering. Yes, service is important. We need to serve the needs of the people around us. But if we're only doing that, we haven't touched the heart of what we're here for, to be conduits of God's grace and God's healing power to those around us. Closing Prayer Father, there's so much that we all have to deal with, every day. And what I'm asking for is that each of us have the conviction deep in our hearts, that there is something more than just the work that we have before us. There is this thing called transformation. And transformation can only happen when we are fully aware of the divinity of God offered to each of us. And we ask this in Jesus' name, Amen. Learn more about your ad choices.
