29th Sunday in Ordinary Time,

Is 53:10-11Ps 33:4-5 , 18-19,20,21 Heb 4: 14-16 Mk 10:35-45 or 10:42-45

Today we hear from one of Isaiah’s four Suffering Servant songs . This mysterious is sometimes under-

stood to be figurative but is also identified with the prophet, the people of Israel, Moses, and Jesus. In

Today’s text we are told , “The Lord was pleased to crush him in infirmity”(V10). The suffering of the

servant “ shall justify many” (v11). A term that is more inclusive than it sounds. Also found in the narra-

tives of the institution of the Eucharist, “ many” means that Christ’s death has universal significance .

We have been reconciled to God through his suffering.

The writer of Hebrews speaks of Christ as our “great high priest who has passed through the heavens”

(v14). Having “been tested in every way”, he can “ sympathize with our weakness”(v15). Because of

Jesus’s death, we can “confidently approach the throne of grace to receive mercy” (v16). As the Jewish

high priest offers sacrifice on behalf and allows us to approach God’s throne.

Throughout Mark’s Gospel we encounter numerous scenes that display the fact that Jesus’s disciples do

not understand what he is trying to teach them. Today’s Gospel is another example of that as James and

John approach Jesus asking to “ sit one at your right and the other at your left” (v37) when he enter into

his glory. Jesus tells them that it is “not mine to give”(v40), for he must defer to the will of his Father.

Then he tells his disciples that true greatness is found in service:”whoever wishes to be great among you

will be your servant” (v43). As he is about to “give his life as a ransom for many”(v45),so they are called

to spend their life in service of others. This is true greatness .

For Reflection: What does Christ’s suffering means to me? Who in my life has been an example of what

Jesus considers true greatness?

Please note that “Prayers for the Sick” will be announced from the altar for 4 weeks. Then the names will be in

the bulletin for another 4 weeks. Please inform the Rectory if you wish to add a loved one for prayers, or to have

someone’s name removed. Please note that “Prayers for the Sick” will be announced from the altar for 4 weeks.

Then the names will be in the bulletin for another 4 weeks. Please inform the Rectory if you wish to add a loved

one for prayers, or to have someone’s name removed.

Please continue to pray for all those who are sick in our parish

October 18 Twenty-Ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time:

In today’s Gospel Jesus tells his disciples: “ Anyone among you

who aspire greatness must serve the rest; whoever wants to rank

first among you must serve the needs of all.”

When you give the furniture, household items and clothing you

no longer use the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, you give

hope to your neighbors who have nothing.

Reflections on being with Pope Francis

As the golden clad doors of St. Patrick’s opened and the Pope’s was

Acknowledged by all, through my eyes I did not see “Francis the man” but saw

and felt the Apostolic See. The Apostolic successions of our faith came to life

through the presence of Saint Peter and Saint Paul. To pray with him, in night

prayers, sharing that time in space was most inspiring and thought provoking, as it

became apparent in what we as clergy sincerely mean to all of God’s creations.

The following day being selected as one of his Deacons in the distribution of com-

munions of the faithful; within me through further reflection it brought to life

chapter six of the Acts of the Apostles, and the dedication of our Blessed Deacon

Stephen.

I would like to share my inner most feelings as I savor my solemn moments of true

unworthiness. What I experienced over those two days with him-just to be in his

presence brought me to a deeper understanding of why God chose me to honor His

son. I can humbly say on the second day, during the celebration of the Mass I was

blessed to stand alongside the Patron Saint of Deacons, St. Stephen and in the

presence of the Bishops and all the Priests we walked in the Foot Steps of the

Apostles. In our journey we honored St. Paul’s words in his letter to the Corin-

thians as he spoke of Faith, Hope and Charity, with the greatest of being love.

Together on that day Gods humble servants compassionately presented the love of

Jesus Christ to all.

Thank you for all your support…… Deacon Peter
