REFLECTION: “Many thingsmake you unhappy or afraid be-cause you have not successfullyshifted your attention from your-self to God.” Thomas à Kempis

“Those who follow me can never walkin darkness” (John 8: 12)—says OurLord. Here are the words of Christ.We must imitate his life and hisways if we are to learn from him, ifwe are to receive his light.

Thomas à Kempis

“When I had drunk the spirit fromHeaven, and the second birth hadrestored me a new man, then im-mediately in a marvelous manner,doubts began to be resolved, closeddoors began to be opened, darkplaces to be light; what before wasdifficult now seemed easy.”

St. Cyprian

R.C.I.A.The baptism for which catechumensprepare is a cleansing, a professionof faith, and an initiation into theHoly Spirit. It is also an acceptance ofthe individual into a community oflike belivers. • What do you want from God? • What does God ask of us?To live the way Jesus did, we mustlearn to constantly love in the midstof the world. • What do you want from the Church? • What commitment do you make to the Church?

FIRST READING: Neh. 8: 2-4, 5-6,8-10 “They read from the book ofLaw and they understood whatwas read.” Ezra the priest readfrom the book of the law to thepeople from morning to noon. Thepeople listened and understood.The priests proclaimed it a sacredday, a day to eat and drink andshare for the joy of the lord is yourstronghold.RESPONSORIAL PSALM: Ps. 19“Your words, Lord, are spirit andlife.”SECOND READING: 1 Cor. 12:12-30 “Together you are Christ’sbody but each of you is a differentpart of it.”GOSPEL ACCLAMATION:Lk. 4: 18-19 “The Lord sent me tobring glad tidings to the poor, andto proclaim liberty to the cap-tives.“GOSPEL: Lk. 1: 1-4, 4: 14-21 “Thescriptures were fulfilled on thisday.” Jesus went to Nazara wherehe had grown up and went to thesynagog on the Sabbath. He readfrom the scroll the words of Isaiah:the spirit of the Lord has been givento me, to proclaim liberty to thecaptives, and sight to the blind. Allthe eyes of the synagog were uponhim. He said that the text werebeing fulfilled in their midst.”

SCRIPTURAL TOPICS: unity,fulfillment

FOCUS: “He has sent me to pro-claim liberty to the captives.“

REFLECTION: “Learn to fix theeye of faith on the divine word ofthe Holy Scriptures as on a lightshining in a dark place until the daydawns and the day-star arises inour hearts. For the ineffable sourcefrom which this lamp borrows itslight is the Light that shines indarkness but the darkness does notcomprehend it. To see it, our heartsmust be purified by faith.” St. Catherine of Siena

Third Sunday in Ordinary Time: Cycle C

“In purely contemplative prayer,words and thoughts themselves dis-appear, not by our own will, but oftheir own accord. Prayer of the mindchanges into prayer of the heart, orrather into prayer of the mind in theheart: its appearance coincides withthe birth of warmth in the heart.From now on in the usual course ofspiritual life there is no other prayer.This prayer, taking deep root in theheart, may be without words orthought: it may consist only in astanding before God, in an openingof the heart to Him in reverence andlove. It is a state of being irresistiblydrawn within to stand before God inprayer; or it is the visitation of thespirit of prayer. But all this is not yettrue contemplative prayer, which isprayer’s highest state, appearingfrom time to time in God’s elect TheLamb of God is another manifesta-tion of God's incarnation. We arestrengthened and redeemed by theblood of the Lamb and it is thisstrength in us that is a sign of God’spresence in the world.” Theophane the Recluse

APPLYING THE READINGS TOTHE LITURGY: Introduce the lit-urgy by stating that the liturgy is theglad tidings and the proclamation ofliberty: In Jesus we have God in ourmidst. We are different parts of thesame body.Opening Prayer: See alternate

Sample General Intercessions—Introduction: Gathered together asbrothers and sisters, let us call tomind that God is among us espe-cially in prayer:• For pastors and spiritual leaders ev-erywhere, that they may lead in faith andserve in love the flock entrusted to theircare;• For a world hungry for true peace, thatpeople search within for the solution toto exterior strife;• For our suffering sisters and brothers,that they may experience the presence ofGod and have their sorrows turned tojoy;• For our community and families, that

we learn what is truly important in lifeand follow that interior call.Preface for Sundays in O.T.: 1 or 8Prayers over the people: 6 or 11

R.C.I.A.When Jesus went to the synagoguethe spirit of God entered him as heread the scripture of Isaiah.• How did Jesus liberate the captives?• What does it means to us that Jesus restored sight to the blind?• How dids he set the downtrodden free?The disciples followed Christ be-cause the sheer power of his pres-ence. We are urged to see Jesus inthe world, to seek out his presenceon earth.

Children’s Liturgy of the WordJesus proclaimed the arrival of greatthings. As you read the gospel se-lection emphasize the words “GladTidings“.• What were the glad tidings of which Jesus spoke?• How does one proclaim liberty to the captives?_______________________________________

FIRST READING: Jer. 1: 4-5, 17-19 “A prophet to the nations I haveappointed you .” The word of theLord came to Jeremiah. Before hisbirth he had been consecrated toGod, to be a prophet to the nations.They will fight against him butshall not succeed.RESPONSORIAL PSALM: Ps.71 “I will sing of your salvation.”SECOND READING:1 Cor. 12: 31 - 13: 13 “So faith,hope, love remain, these three; butthe greatest of these is love.”GOSPEL ACCLAMATION:Lk. 4: 18-19 “The Lord sent me tobring glad tidings to the poor, andto proclaim liberty to captives.”GOSPEL: Lk. 4: 21-30 “Jesus, likeElijah and Elisha was not sentonly to the Jews.” Jesus spoke inthe synagogue that the scriptureswere fulfilled in the people‘s midst.They were astonished and out-raged and attempted to throw himdown a cliff but he slipped throughthe crowd.

SCRIPTURAL TOPICS: love, uni-versality, determination, prophecy

FOCUS: “The Lord sent me tobring glad tidings to the poor, andto proclaim liberty to captives.”

REFLECTION: “No one, until hereceives the Spirit, can pray in amanner truly pleasing to God. Thisis so, because anyone who beginsto pray without having the HolySpirit in him, finds that his soul isdispersed in all directions, turningto and fro, so that he cannot fix histhoughts on one thing. Moreoverhe does not properly know eitherhimself, or his own needs; he doesnot know how or what to ask fromGod; he does not even know whoGod is. But a man with the HolySpirit dwelling in him knows Godand sees that He is his Father. Heknows how to approach Him, howto ask and what to ask for. Histhoughts in prayer are orderly,pure, and directed to one objectalone—God; and by his prayer heis truly able to do everything.” Metropolitan Innocent of Moscow

“Let the meaning of your wordsshine forth, let understanding blazeout from them. Let no word escapeyour lips in vain or be uttered with-out deep meaning.” St. Ambrose

“Invisible in his own nature he be-came visible in ours. Beyond ourgrasp, he chose to come within ourgrasp. Existing before time began,he began to exist at a moment intime. Incapable of suffering as God,he did not refuse to be man, capableof suffering. Immortal, he chose tobe subject to the laws of death.”

Leo the Great

Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time: Cycle C

R.C.I.A.We are one body in Christ bound inour attention to God in the world ofcharity. The prophets were rejectedand Jesus was pulled from the syna-gogue. People have a hard time be-lieving in themselves and thosearound them. Do we respect our-selves? If we cannot accept our-selves we cannot accept others inour midst. Unfortunately we oftenput our hope for help in somethingfar away, removed from us.Today’s proclamation from the gos-pel is that God is near.

Children’s Liturgy of the WordTalk about the concept that somethings last longer than others. Itemsof high quality often last longerthan cheap objects. St. Therese ofLiseaux said that if we want to havea rich life we must pay a high price.What does the second reading sayabout lasting things? Three thingslast: faith, hope and love. By lovingwe pay for a good life. By followingour hearts we experience life assomething that is rich._______________________________________

Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time: Cycle C

FIRST READING: Is. 6: 1-2, 3-8 “Here am I! Send me.”Isaiah saw the Lord, God in thesanctuary. He laments that he is aman of unclean lips among uncleanpeople. One of the seraphs flew tohim with a live coal from the altar.Touching his mouth with the coal,the seraph said “See now, this hastouched your lips and your sin istaken away.” The Lord asked,“whom shall I send?”RESPONSORIAL PSALM:Ps. 138 “In the sight of the angelsI will sing your praises, O Lord.” SECOND READING: 1 Cor. 15:1-11 “So we preached and so youbelieved.”GOSPEL ACCLAMATION:Mt. 4: 19 “Come after me, and I willmake you fishers of men.”GOSPEL: Lk. 5: 1-11 “They lefteverything and followed Jesus.”After speaking to the crowd from aboat, Jesus instructed Simon to putout his net. They had caught noth-ing during the night. They immedi-ately caught so many fish that thenet began to tear. The discipleswere overcome by the catch.Cana in Galilee.”

SCRIPTURAL TOPICS: holiness,humility, vocation

FOCUS: “Come after me, and I willmake you fishers of men.”

REFLECTION: “You are a fire thattakes away the coldness, illumi-nates the mind with its light, andcauses me to know your truth. AndI know that you are beauty andwisdom itself. The food of angels,you gave yourself to man in the fireof your love.“ Catherine of Siena

“He need have no fear of error inbelieving that God is calling him tocontemplation, regardless of whatsort of person he is now or has beenin the past. It is not what you arenor what you have been that Godsees with his all-merciful eyes, butwhat you desire to be.”

The Cloud of Unknowing

“Hold out, be steadfast, endure, bearthe delay, and you have carried thecross.” St. Augustine

More Isaiah Thou shalt no more have the sun for thy light by day, Neither shall the brightness of the moon enlighten thee. But the Lord shall be unto thee an everlasting light, And thy God shall be thy glory.

Thy sun shall go down no more, And thy moon shall not decrease. For the Lord shall be unto thee an everlasting light, And the days of thy mourning shall be ended. —Ch. 60: 19-20.

APPLYING THE READINGS TOTHE LITURGY: Introduce the lit-urgy by stating that we have beencommissioned to follow Jesus andthat in doing so we will lead others.This is a responsibility we must nottake lightly.

Opening Prayer: See alternateSample General Intercessions—Introduction: Gathered together asbrothers and sisters, let us call tomind that God is near and He alwayshears our prayer:• For pastors and spiritual leaders ev-erywhere, that they may lead in faith andserve in love the flock entrusted to theircare;• For a world hungry for true peace, thatpeople search within for the solution toexterior strife;• For our suffering sisters and brothers,that they may experience the closeness ofGod and have their sorrows turned tojoy;• For our community and families, thatwe learn what is truly important in lifeand follow that interior call.

Preface for Sundays in O.T.: 1 or 8Prayers over the people: 6th or 11th

R.C.I.A.Jesus began his ministry in a littlebackwater village known as Galilee,Its inhabitants were considered onthe fringe of accepted Jewish cul-ture, people of marginal acceptabil-ity.

Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time: Cycle C

• Do you ever feel you are not ready for God?• Do you feel worthy of God’s love?The reaction of the first disciples isan example of how to respond to thepresence of Christ. The disciplesfollowed Christ because the sheerpower of his presence. We areurged to come to Jesus that ourwills may unite with his. In this waywe can answer, “Here I am, Lord,”in the face of our own uncertainties.

Children’s Liturgy of the WordAsk the children what it means to bea “fisher of people.”• In what ways did Jesus fish for followers?• What is it in Jesus’ message that moves people?We follow Jesus by looking forgoodness in our world. God isready to burst forth with wonderfulthings for those who are looking forgoodness._______________________________________

Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time: Cycle C

GOSPEL ACCLAMATION:See Mt. 11: 25 “Rejoice and be glad;your reward will be great inheaven.”

GOSPEL:Lk 6, 17:20-26 “Blessed are thepoor, woe to you who are rich.”Jesus preached that those who ar ehungry will be fed, those who weepshall laugh, and those who are fullshall go hungry.

FOCUS: “Rejoice and be glad: yourreward shall be great in heaven.”

REFLECTION: “The inward stir-ring and touching of God makes ushungry and yearning; for the Spiritof God hunts our spirit; and themore it touches it, the greater ourhunger and our craving. And this isthe life of love in its highest work-ing, above reason and above un-derstanding; for reason can hereneither give nor take away fromlove, for our love is touched by theDivine love.”

Bl. Jan Van Ruysbroeck

“Our Lord does not come fromHeaven every day to stay in agolden ciborium. He comes to findanother Heaven, the Heaven of oursoul in which He loves to dwell.” St. Therese of Lisieux

Thomas à Kempis

Prayers over the people: Twelfth ortwenty-second.

Faith FormationWhen we devote our lives to Jesuswe must beware of the temptationto take pride in our accomplish-ments. Pride can destroy all wehave attained, and we will go awayfrom God’s table hungry, throughour own fault.

“If you could but realize what adifference it makes, a life welllived, the peace of mind it wouldbring you, the encouragement itwould give to others, I can’t helpthinking you would be more deeplyconcerned about your progress inthe spiritual life.” Thomas à KempisSong suggestions:Seek the Lord (O’Connor) BB/MI, GP, GPCOMP, JS, RSShelter Me, O God (Hurd) BB/MI, GC, GTR, JS, RSThere is One Lord (Deiss) PMB, WCH

Children’s Liturgyof the Word

What are rewards of trusting inGod, and the goodness of his pur-poses, in trusting that there is mean-ing to life, that God loves us andcares for us? The first reading saysthat if we trust only in things we see,we are like a dry bush in the desert.If we trust in God we are like a treeby the waterside, who is able tosend its roots towards the stream.The stream is God’s love. We haveto trust him and do what he wantsus to do, in order to live by thewaterside of his love.

Faith FormationWe don't expect perfection frompeople, yet we are called to be pefectas God is perfect. God directs us toachieve what we cannot achievealone. The call to love as God lovesis only possible with God's helpthrough Jesus Christ. It is a newcommandment because it is onlypossible with Jesus.

Children’s Liturgyof the Word

Jesus tells us to love as he loves. Byliving as if Jesus is with us at alltimes, we can love people as Jesuswould love. By keep the memory ofJesus in our hearts we can keep fromacting in a way that we will laterregret. To love as Jesus loved,means refraining from hurtingpeople, even when we have thepower to hurt them.

SCRIPTURAL TOPICS: justice;compassion; the strength of God;the love of God.

FOCUS: The Christian way is tolive in the light of these two com-mandments: love God, and loveyour neighbor.

REFLECTION: “Be merciful, soGod can be merciful to you.”

Tandy Chiles Barrett

You seek the Lord? Seek, but onlywithin yourself. He is not far fromanyone. The Lord is near all thosewho truly call on Him. Find a placein your heart, and speak there withthe Lord. It is the Lord’s receptionroom. Everyone who meets theLord, meets Him there; He hasfixed no other place for meetingsouls.” Theophane the Recluse

“Even though the poor are oftenrough and unrefined, we must notjudge them from external appear-ances nor from the mental giftsthey have received. On the con-trary, if you consider the poor inthe light of faith, then you will ob-serve that they are taking the placeof the Son of God who chose to bepoor. Although in his passion healmost lost the appearance of aman and was considered a fool bythe Gentiles and a stumbling blockto the Jews, he showed them thathis mission was to preach to thepoor.” St. Vincent de Paul

APPLYING THE READINGS TOTHE LITURGY: Introduction tothe Liturgy: Love is the foremostcommandment and our reason forgathering as a group. It is the graceof God that strengthens us to liveup to God’ s expectation of us, thatwe love our neighbor as ourselves.

Sample General Intercessions—Introduction: Gathered together inChrist as brothers and sisters, let us askfor God for the grace we need to keep hiscommandments:• For all who have dedicated themselvesto God, that love of God and neighbor beour guide;• For all peoples of the world: that theLord give us the strength to unite inpeace and harmony;• For the aged who suffer from lonelinessand infirmity, that we will sustain themby our love;• For all of us gathered here, that Godwill give us the grace we need to keep hiscommandments.Preface: 7th for Sundays in O.T.Introduce the sign of peace by pro-claiming peace as the greatestachievement, possible only throughlove of God and neighbor.Concluding Rite—Prayers over the People: 2nd or 9thConcluding Rite—Prayers over the People: Eleventh

R.C.I.A. We love God fairly easily, but ourneighbor? If they are nice to us, OK,but what about those (numerous)people who are rude and crude, andgo to a strange church, and wearfunny clothes? And what aboutthose dirty people who hang aroundevil places and laugh at good peoplewhen they go by? And what aboutpeople we know are sinners? (Wedon’t know they are sinners, and wehave to be merciful to them, too.) Ifwe want to be with God, we must belike him. God is love, we must love,we must love all God’s creatures.

Children’s Liturgy of the Word How can we love people who aremean to us? Sometimes we have tostay away from them and pray forthem. We have to wish them well,but we can avoid being with them.We can ask God for the strength tolove people who are unkind._______________________________________

REFLECTION: “Let us adoreJesus in our hearts, who spentthirty years of thirty-three in si-lence; who began his public life byspending forty days in silence; whooften retired alone to spend thenight on a mountain in silence. Hewho spoke with authority, nowspends his earthly life in silence.Let us adore Jesus in the eucharisticsilence.” Mother Teresa of Calcutta

“Live in faith and hope, though itbe in darkness, for in this darknessGod protects the soul. Cast yourcare upon God for you are His andHe will not forget you. Do not thinkthat He is leaving you alone, forthat would be to wrong him.” St. John of the Cross

“Invisible in his own nature he be-came visible in ours. Beyond ourgrasp, he chose to come within ourgrasp. Existing before time began,he began to exist at a moment intime. Incapable of suffering as God,he did not refuse to be man, capableof suffering. Immortal, he chose tobe subject to the laws of death.”

Leo the Great

“Miracles happen, not in opposi-tion to nature, but in opposition towhat we know of nature.” St. Augustine

R.C.I.A.Jesus shows us that we must be mer-ciful in all our actions, even whendoing so will have results that mayharm us. How far shall we go withthis? All the way. Jesus laid down hislife for us. How shall we performthese acts of mercy? Wisely, withdiscerment and with great love.

Children’s Liturgy of the WordThe Israelites had been slaves inEgypt for many centuries. Then Godbrought them forth into freedom,and now they owned slaves. Twopoints here: 1) we must be merciful,just as God is merciful; 2) things gofrom bad to good, and from good tobad. Don’t be happy be cause youare getting your own way right now.It won’t last long. And don’t be un-happy when you don’t get your ownway any more. That willchange, too._______________________________________

We areGod’s people, we are chosen to bringthe message of salvation throughlove to all the world. Even a little bitof love goes a long way. We are called to open our hearts andto see God in others, all others. How we interact with the world isdependent on our ability to act fromthe heart. From the heart we candiscern the right action.

Children’s Liturgy of the WordWhat does it mean to have a mis-sion? As a church we have a missionto help God get his message out thatthe way to Heaven is by loving Godand all his creatures. How can we dothat? By setting an example withlove and kindness for all, and byprayer. Ask the children to think ofother ways to do what God asked ofus: love one another, and go out andshow our love for others._______________________________________

SCRIPTURAL TOPICS: Son ofMan; Jesus, the shepherd; baptismin Christ; thirst for God.

FOCUS: "It is necessary for the Sonof Man to suffer much." The Chris-tian suffers not for suffering's sakeor in acceptance of injustice but tosee God in the human experience.Following Jesus does not end oursufferings, or heighten them. InJesus we and all our experiencesare transformed into a bridge to-wards God.

REFLECTION: "When St. Paul'svoice was raised to preach the gos-pel to all nations, it was like a greatclap of thunder in the sky. Hispreaching was a blazing fire carry-ing all before it. It was the sun ris-ing in full glory. Infidelity was con-sumed by it, false beliefs fled away,and the truth appeared like a greatcandle lighting the whole worldwith its brilliant flame." St. Bernadino of Siena

"You seek the Lord? Seek, but onlywithin yourself. He is not far fromanyone. The Lord is near all thosewho truly call on Him. Find a placein your heart, and speak there withthe Lord. It is the Lord's receptionroom. Everyone who meets theLord, meets Him there; He hasfixed no other place for meetingsouls." Theophane the Recluse

APPLYING THE READINGS TOTHE LITURGY: Like Jesus theChrist, who had to suffer and die forthe sake of the truth, so too we aresubject to persecution by our sup-port of the gospel. As God was al-ways with Jesus, so too is God al-ways with us.General Intercessions-Introduction: My sisters and mybrothers, from this world of uncer-tainty we look to our convenant withGod who is with us always to theend of time.· That Christians everywhere may beresponsive to the word of God and bearwitness to the gospel,· That people everywhere may work forpeace,· That all who have grown complacent infaith may turn to God again and bereconciled as bearers of the gospel,· That our community and families whowelcome Christ into their lives, learn toreceive him in all peoples throughout theworld.Preface: Second preface for O.T.Concluding Rite- Prayers over thePeople: Fifth or seventh

R.C.I.A.You were iron, but fire has burnt therust off you. If you are righteous andfall ill, you will go from strength tostrength. Are you gold?· You will pass through fire purged.Have you been given a thorn in theflesh? (2 Cor. 2: 12) Exult, and seewho else was treated like that; it is anhonor to have the same sufferings asPaul.· Are you being tried by fever?· Are you being taught by cold? In-deed Scripture says: 'We wentthrough fire and water; yet thou hasbrought us forth to a spacious place.'(Ps. 66: 12)· You have drawn the first lot? Ex-pect the second.By virtue offer holy words in a loudvoice. For it is said: 'I am afflictedand in pain.' (Ps. 69: 29) By this shareof wretchedness you will be madeperfect. For he said: 'The Lord hearswhen I call him.' (Ps. 4: 3) So openyour mouth wider to be taught bythese exercises of the soul, seeing

Children's Liturgy of the WordWe must work hard and more togive everything we can to God. Thisdevotion to God will cause us diffi-culties, but remember, living anyother way causes even more suffer-ing. And we can rejoice in theknowledge that God is with us al-ways. He is with those who are notdevoted to Him, too, but we knowit, so we can be happy, even whensuffering.Explain to the children what a meta-phor is._______________________________________

SCRIPTURAL TOPICS: Call tofreedom; call of God; discipleship

FOCUS: We have been called to alife that identifies with the poorand homeless. We are called to aroad to the heavenly Jerusalem andwe can not turn back to a life ofindifference.

REFLECTION: "The yoke of Christis sweet and his burden light untorefreshment for those who submitto it; but all things alien to theteachings of the Gospel are heavyand burdensome." St. Basil

"The Lord's command seems diffi-cult and painful when he says thatanyone who wishes to follow himmust deny himself. But it is notreally so, since he helps us to dowhat he commands. He fulfills hisown words: 'My yoke is easy andmy burden is light.' Love makes iteasy to carry out whatever is diffi-cult in his command."St. Augustine

R.C.I.A.Meditation on one's death is a usefulexamination of our priorities andvalues. We would treat each mo-ment differently if we knew the hourof our death. Beyond that, by livingas though we were already dead, weare free to see God in everything andeveryone.

Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time: Cycle C


FIRST READING: Is. 66: 10-14"I will send toward Jerusalem peacelike a river. "RESPONSORIAL PSALM: Ps. 66"Cry out with joy to God, all theearth."SECOND READING: Gal. 6: 14-18"The marks I carry on my body arethose of Jesus Christ."GOSPEL ACCLAMATION:Col. 3: 15, 16 "May the peace of Christrule in your hearts; and fullness of hismessage live within you."GOSPEL: Lk. 10: 1-12, 17-20 "Yourpeace will rest upon him."Seventy-two appointed disciples weresent out by Jesus. They were instructedto enter each house they with a blessingof peace. If peace was not received theywere to leave. Upon their return Jesustold them to rejoice ; their names arewritten in heaven.

SCRIPTURAL TOPICS: sendingout of disciples; the blessing ofpeace; followers of Christ

FOCUS: The glory and joy of ourchurch, past, present and future liein the ministry of healing, preach-ing and sharing of the Lord's peace.The focus today could be consid-ered evangelical. The first readingand the Psalm echo the sound ofrejoicing, a message found intoday's gospel: Rejoice that yournames are written in heaven.

REFLECTION: "Why is it thatthings are not going well with youjust now? I think it is because youwish to remember the Lord, forget-ting worldly affairs. But worldlyaffairs intrude into your conscious-ness and push out the remem-brance of the Lord. What youshould do is just the reverse: youshould busy yourself with worldlyaffairs, but think of them as a com-mission from the Lord, as some-thing done in His presence. Asthings are now, you fail both on thespiritual and on the material level.But if you act as I have explained,things will go well in both spheres. Theophane the Recluse

"If teaching and preaching is yourjob, then study diligently and applyyourself to whatever is necessary fordoing the job well. Be sure that youfirst preach by the way you live. Ifyou do not, people will notice thatyou say one thing, but live other-wise, and your words will bringonly cynical laughter and a derisiveshake of the head." St. Charles Borromeo

APPLYING THE READINGS TOTHE LITURGY: Consider using theSprinkling Rite with an introductionreflecting that through our baptismwe were commissioned to carryGod's message of love to all. Today'shomily could focus on the many andvaried ministries parishioners areinvolved in. Introduce the sign ofpeace by emphasizing peace is a pre-cious gift to the world from God.Only in peace can love and wisdomflourish.General Intercessions-Introduction: My sisters and broth-ers, let us turn our prayers to Godwho inscribes our hearts with peace:· That Christians everywhere may beresponsive to the word of God and bearwitness to the gospel,That all who have grown complacent infaith may turn to God again and bereconciled as bearers of the gospel,· That our community and families whowelcome Christ into their lives, learn toreceive him in all peoples throughout theworld.Eucharistic Prayer: 4Prayers over the People: 20 or 23

R.C.I.A.· Do we have the power to heal as thedisciples did?The same power used by the dis-ciples of Jesus in their healing is stillwith us and available to us today.Power, Spirit-power, is the ability tolove. Only God has that ability, butwe all share in it to the degree we areable to love. For those who loveenough, anything is possible.

Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time: Cycle C


FIRST READING:Deut. 30: 10-14"Let the instruction of the LordGod be near you."Moses instructsthe people to obey the voice of God, thecommandments written in the Book ofthe Law and to return to God.RESPONSORIAL PSALM: Ps. 69"Seek the Lord, you who are poor,and your hearts will revive."SECOND READING:Col. 1: 15-20"In Christ Jesus werecreated allthings."GOSPEL ACCLAMATION:Jn. 6: 64, 69 "Your words, Lord, arespirit and life; you have the words ofeverlasting life."GOSPEL: Lk. 10: 25-37"Who is myneighbor?" A lawyer asks Jesus whathe must do to inherit eternal life. Tolove the Lord your God and your neigh-bor as yourself. The lawyer asks, 'Whois my neighbor'? Jesus recounts theparable of the good Samaritan.

SCRIPTURAL TOPICS: eternallife; love of God, love of neighbor

FOCUS: We are not called to pur-sue spiritual matters and ignorepeople, for it is in serving othersthat we serve God.

REFLECTION: "It is easy to feeldrawn to good, healthy peoplewho have pleasant manners, butthat is only natural love and notcharity. A mother does not love hersick deformed child because he islovable, but because she is hismother, and we must pray the HolyGhost to put into our hearts thatselfless devotion which nature hasput into hers." Robert Bellarmine

"Where there is love and wisdom,there is neither fear nor ignorance.Where there is patience and humil-ity, there is neither anger nor an-noyance. Where there is povertyand joy, there is neither cupiditynor avarice. Where there is peaceand contemplation, there is neithercare nor restlessness. Where thereis fear of God to guard the dwell-ing, there no enemy can enter.Where there is mercy and pru-dence, there is neither excess norharshness." St. Francis of Assisi

APPLYING THE READINGS TOTHE LITURGY: The first readingspeaks of the word of God being inour mouths and the Psalm responsetells us to seek the Lord. A specialreverence for the Holy Books, per-haps using incense, would be appro-priate, reflecting the spirit of the firstreading. The gospel today conveysour need to seek the Lord by servingothers. How can we eliminate thebarriers that separate us? The con-cept of removing barriers could beworked into the introduction to theliturgy by declaring that in Jesus sal-vation has come for all humankind.Introduce the breaking of the breadby proclaiming that the Eucharistgives us the grace to love as Jesusloved, to serve others beyond ourown capacity.Penitential Rite: see third form withsecond or third set of sample invoca-tions.My brothers and sisters, may all whofollow Christ pray to God to bringthe seeds of the gospel to bloom onearth.· For all those who gather in the HolySpirit of God, that he will help them to befaithful to their baptismal call,· For peace among nations, that God mayrid the world of violence, and let us servehim in freedom,· For the aged who suffer from lonelinessand infirmity, that we will sustain themby our lives,· For all of us gathered here, that God willteach us to use wisely the good things hehas given us, that they will lead us closerto him and to eternal blessing.Prayers over the People: 7, 9, or 20

R.C.I.A.· Do we know right from wrongwithout being told?Read the first reading as you medi-tate on this question. The Psalm de-clares that the God-seeking heartwill revive.· In what manner does the Gospel proclaim that we should seek God?· What is the significance of the priest and the Levite passing up the stranger in today's gospel?· What does this say about how we

Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time: Cycle C

should practice our faith?Rather than asking the question,"Who is my neighbor?"we need toask ourselves: "How may I be agood neighbor?"

Children's Liturgy of the WordAsk the children why they think thepriest and the Levite passed up theinjured man in today's gospel. Pointout that their religious beliefs mayhave prevented these two from get-ting involved. If they were to comein contact with a dead person theirbelief was that they were contami-nated and would have to gothrough a period of purification be-fore they were allowed to enter thetemple. Perhaps they were afraid ortoo busy. The Samaritans were notwelcome in Israel. Perhaps the manwho helped the injured one knewwhat it was like to be alone and introuble._______________________________________

Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time: Cycle C


FIRST READING: Gen. 18: 1-10“Do not pass by, Lord, withoutvisiting your servant.” The Lordappears to Abraham while he is sittingat the entrance of the tent. It is an-nounced that Sarah will conceive andbear a son.RESPONSORIAL PSALM: Ps. 15“Lord, who shall be admitted toyour tent?”SECOND READING: Col. 1: 24-28 “The mystery hidden for centu-ries has now been revealed to hissaints.”GOSPEL ACCLAMATION:See Lk. 8: 15 “Happy are they whohave kept the word with a generousheart.”GOSPEL: Lk. 10: 38-42 Marthawelcomed Jesus into her home.Mary has chosen the better part.Martha becomes upset because Maryhas chosen to sit at the feet of Jesusrather than help Martha serve theirguests.

SCRIPTURAL TOPICS: mysteryof God; the pressence of God; theword of God

FOCUS: The Lord is a personalGod who visited Abraham and Sa-rah in the desert. In the person ofJesus, God lived among us.

REFLECTION: "The air is in thesunshine and the sunshine in theair. So likewise is God in the beingof the soul: and whenever the soul'shighest powers are turned inwardwith active love, they are unitedwith God without means, in asimple knowledge of all truth, andin an essential feeling and tasting ofall good." Bl. Jan Van Ruysbroeck

"Look to yourself, and have moreconcern with the heart. To dis-criminate between movements ofthe heart, read and reflect on thewritings of Sts. John of the Ladder,Isaac of Syria, Barsanouphios andJohn-also of Diadochos,Philotheos, Abba Isaias, Evagrios,Cassian, and Neilos in thePhilokalia; and apply what theysay to yourself. When you read, do

not just leave impressed on yourmind a general idea of the author'sargument, but always turn what hesays into a personal rule to be ap-plied to yourself. When you do this,the general idea you have formedalways undergoes some shades ofchange." Theophane the Recluse

APPLYING THE READINGS TOTHE LITURGY: Mention of God'sWord is significant in today'slectionary readings. Consider em-phasizing the Holy Books and Lit-urgy of the Word. Introduce the lit-urgy by saying that God was per-sonal with Abraham and Sarah, andJesus showed great love for Marthaand Mary. So too God is intimatelypresent to us in the Liturgy. TheHoly Books could be incensedstressing our coming in contact withGod through them. Introduce thebreaking of the bread by declaringthat as God was with Abraham andSarah in the desert so God is with usthrough the Eucharist.General Intercessions-Introduc-tion: Gathered together in Christ, asbrothers and sisters, let us recognizethe voice of Christ in our lives andask God to hear our prayers.·That pastors may lead in faith and servein love the flock entrusted to their care byChrist the Good Shepherd,· That the whole world may experiencetrue peace, the peace only possiblethrough Christ,· That our suffering sisters and brothersmay have their sorrow turned to joy,· That our community may have thefaith and strength to bear witness to thegospel planted in our hearts,Eucharistic Prayer: 4Prayers over the People: 4

R.C.I.A.There needs to be a balance betweenlistening, reflecting, and serving. Intoday's gospel Mary was com-mended for choosing to sit and listento the words of Jesus. This was usu-ally the practice of men. Martha wasupset with Mary yet Jesus said thatMary had chosen the better way.•What does this account say a bout our own misunderstandings

Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time: Cycle C

about what the Lord requires of us?It's easy to go too far in one directionwhen pursuing spiritual matters.• What we need is a balance of spiritual disciplines.• What do you think you need to do to lead a more balanced spiritual life?

Children's Liturgy of the WordDiscuss our physical sense of bal-ance. Define balance as havingequal amounts of weights on eitherside so as to even things out, so wecan move the way we want to.Ask the children if they know whatwe mean when we talk about a bal-anced diet. Discuss the idea of hav-ing a spiritual balance in which wemake time for prayer, reading scrip-tures, and helping others. Then thisway our spiritual lives will evenout, and we can make spiritualprogress._______________________________________

Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time: Cycle C


FIRST READING: Gen. 18: 20-32"Lord, do not be angry if I speak."Abraham intervenes for Sodom by ask-ing if God will destroy the just alongwith the unjust.RESPONSORIAL PSALM:Ps. 138 "On the day I called, youanswered me, O Lord."SECOND READING: Col. 2: 12-14 "He has made you alive withChrist for he has forgiven all oursins."GOSPEL ACCLAMATION:Romans 8: 15 "You have receivedthe Spirit which makes us God'schildren, and in that Spirit we callGod our Father."GOSPEL: Lk. 11: 1-13 "Ask, and itwill be given to you." Jesus teachesthe disciples how to pray, promisingthat if we knock, the door will beopened.

SCRIPTURAL TOPICS: prayer;discipleship; the power of God.

FOCUS: "Ask and it will be givento you, knock and the door shall beopened." True prayer is a personaldialogue with God in which wetrust in God's mercy and kindness.

REFLECTION: "Great talent is agift of God, but it is a gift which isby no means necessary in order topray well. This gift is required inorder to converse well with hu-mans; but it is not necessary in or-der to speak well with God. Forthat, one needs good desires, andnothing more." St. John of the Cross

"We are told how the monks ofEgypt prayed very frequently butvery briefly. Their prayer was sud-den and ejaculatory so that the in-tense application so necessary inprayer should not vanish or lose itskeenness by a slow performance." St. Augustine of Hippo

"Seek and you will find. Seek God:such is the unalterable rule for allspiritual advancement. Nothingcomes without work. The help ofGod is always ready and alwaysnear, but is only given to those who

seek and work, and only to thoseseekers who, after putting all theirown powers to the test, then cry outwith all their heart: Lord, help us. Solong as you hold on the Lord doesnot interfere. It is as though He says:' You hope to succeed by yourself-Very well, go on trying! But howeverlong you try you will achieve noth-ing.' May the Lord give you a con-trite spirit, a humble and a contriteheart.” Theophane the Recluse

APPLYING THE READINGS TOTHE LITURGY: The introduction tothe liturgy could revolve aroundGod in our midst, God who seeksdialogue with us. Consider usingdialogue style responses, antiphons,responsorials, etc. Introduce theLord's Prayer by saying that Jesuscalled God "Abba"or "Daddy." Wetoo should come to God with theintimacy of a child to its parent.General Intercessions-Introduction: My brothers and sis-ters, God our Father is our origin andguide who hears the prayers of allwho praise him. Let us offer ourprayers to God, whose gifts are with-out measure.· For the Church of God, that we willjoyfully proclaim and live our faith inChrist the eternal gift from God,· For peace and well-being of the wholeworld, that God's gift to us inthis life will lead us to salvation in the lifeto come,· For those who suffer from hunger, sick-ness, or loneliness: that the gift ofChrist's presence bring them health andpeace,· For our community and our families,who welcome Christ into their lives: maythey learn to receive him in the poor andsuffering people of this world,Prayers over the People: 4

R.C.I.A.God is a personal God who con-verses with us personally. We do notpray to receive favors. Prayer is dia-logue with God in which we listen aswell as speak. We exist together inprayer.· What does it means to you thatJesus called God "Abba" or"Daddy"?

Discuss how the various parts of theliturgy operate in a dialogue form:the opening prayer, theresponsorial psalm, the prayers ofthe faithful and numerous parts ofthe liturgy of the Eucharist. Liturgyis conversation with the Divine.

Children's Liturgyof the Word· What is dialogue?Have some of the children help youwith the first reading, letting differ-ent children read the word ofAbraham with his pleading to God.· What makes a conversation?Draw from this reading the ideathat we should think of prayer as aconversation in which we work toget our message to God and we taketime to listen for a response.Divide the group in two. Lead themin reciting the Lord's prayer, eachgroup reading alternate lines._______________________________________

Seventeenth Sunday in Ordinary Time: Cycle C


FIRST READING: Ecclesiastes 1:2; 2: 21-23 “What does all theirlabor profit them? All is vanityand life is fleeting.”RESPONSORIAL PSALM: Ps.95"O that today you would listen tohis voice! Harden not your hearts."SECOND READING:Col. 3:1-5, 9-11 “Seek the thingsthat are above, where Christ is.”GOSPEL ACCLAMATION:Mt. 5: 3 "Happy are the poor inspirit; the kingdom of heaven istheirs!"GOSPEL: Lk. 12: 13-21"Why are you preparing thesethings?" Jesus tells the parable ofthe rich man with a good harvest.”

FOCUS: "Watch, and be on yourguard against avarice of any kind."We are to seek lasting treasures andthe wealth that is the gift of God.We must be careful to avoid greedand materialism in all its forms.

REFLECTION: "Even though thepoor are often rough and unre-fined, we must not judge themfrom external appearances norfrom the mental gifts they have re-ceived. On the contrary, if you con-sider the poor in the light of faith,then you will observe that they aretaking the place of the Son of Godwho chose to be poor. Although inhis passion he almost lost the ap-pearance of a man and was consid-ered a fool by the Gentiles and astumbling block to the Jews, heshowed them that his mission wasto preach to the poor." St. Vincent de Paul

"Many people understand aboutthe ultimate effects of illusion, forthese are clearly manifest. What ismore important is to learn how thisillusion arises. It starts from a falsethought, which serves as the foun-dation of all the delusions and allthe disastrous infirmities that af-flict the soul. A false thought in themind already contains the wholestructure of illusion, just as a seedsown in the earth contains thewhole plant which grows out of it." Theophane the Recluse

APPLYING THE READINGS TOTHE LITURGY: All that is of valuein this life comes from God and isgiven freely. It is up to us to ridourselves of the greed and avaricethat prevent us from seeing and feel-ing God's grace. Introduce theLord's Prayer by saying that Jesustaught us to pray simply and to ap-peal directly to our Father who is thesource of all. Introduce the breakingof the bread by proclaiming that thisis the bread that disrupts our senseof security in worldy possessions.General Intercessions-Introduction: My brothers and sis-ters, God is the source of eternalnourishment. Let us offer ourprayers to God, whose gifts are with-out limits:· For the Church of God, that we willjoyfully proclaim and live our faith inChrist the eternal gift from God;· For peace and well-being of the wholeworld, that God's gift to us in this lifewill lead us to salvation in the life tocome;· For those who suffer from hunger, sick-ness, or loneliness, that the gift ofChrist's presence bring them health andpeace;· For our community and our families,who welcome Christ into their lives: thatthey learn to receive him in the poor andsuffering people of this world.Prayers over the People: 15 orSolemn Blessing: 5 of solemn bless-ing in Ordinary Time

R.C.I.A.Today's gospel reading leads us toexamine our priorities and values.We will soon pass away like every-one else. But we needn't fear becausewe are baptized in the Lord. Baptismis a covenant between us and God. Itis like a marriage contract whereboth parties give themselves to eachother. We give ourselves to God bystriving to live in the light of God'word.·What are your spiritual priorities?·What do you think God asks of you?Make the connection that our par-ticipation at Sunday liturgy is thewellspring from which we can prop-erly assess our values.

Children's Liturgy of the WordRecount the story of King Midasand his golden touch, a tale whichdemonstrates tragedy of greed.· What is the difference betweenwanting things and being greedy?· In what ways does having toomany things affect you?· How does God help us to keepfrom being greedy?One way to learn is from others. Welearn from Jesus how to love and bemerciful. We learn from God thatwe should give freely becauseGodgives freely._______________________________________

FIRST READING: Wis. 18: 6-9Just as you struck our enemies, youmade us glorious by calling us toyou.RESPONSORIAL PSALM: Ps. 33"Happy are the people the Lord haschosen as his own."SECOND READING:Heb. 11: 1-2, 8-19 We will look forthe city designed and built by God.GOSPEL ACCLAMATION:Mt. 24: 42, 44 "Be watchful andready: you know not when the Sonof Man is coming."GOSPEL: Lk. 12: 32-48See that you are prepared. Jesustells his disciples to be ready likethose awaiting the master to re-turn from the wedding feast. Standready for the Son of Man shall re-turn at the hour we least expect.

SCRIPTURAL TOPICS: call ofGod; awareness of God; spiritualreadiness.

FOCUS: "Be watchful and ready,you know not when the Son is com-ing." We must be on guard lest ourconvictions waiver or grow dim.

REFLECTION: "To pray does notonly mean to stand in prayer. Tokeep the mind and heart turnedtowards God and directed to Him-this is already prayer, whatever theposition in which one may be.Prayer according to the rule is onething, and this state of prayer isanother. The way to it is to attainthe habit of constant remembranceof God, of the last hour and thejudgement that follows it. Accus-tom yourself to this, and all will gowell. Every step you take will beinwardly consecrated to God. Youmust direct your steps according tothe commandments; and youknow what the commandmentsare. That is all. It is possible to applythese commandments to everyevent, and to consecrate all youractivities inwardly to God; andthen all your life will be dedicatedto Him.What more is necessary?Nothing. You see how simple it is." Theophane the Recluse

"I see Paradise has no gate, but who-soever will may enter therein, forGod is all mercy and stands withopen arms to admit us to His glory.But still I see that the Being of God isso pure (far more than one can imag-ine) that should a soul see in itselfeven the least mote of imperfection,it would rather cast itself into a thou-sand hells than go with that spot intothe presence of the Divine Majesty." St. Catherine of Genoa

APPLYING THE READINGS TOTHE LITURGY: We as the Churchof Jesus look forward, and we readyourselves for the future. We also tryto understand God through theteaching of past Church leaders. TheChurch is timeless, just as God's loveis beyond time.An important theme today is theaccountability of our actions. Intro-duce the profession of faith by not-ing that faith is essential to beingready to meet the Lord. The break-ing of the bread could be introducedby declaring that the Eucharist re-news our faith and strengthens us toremain awake and alert to God'sgrace.Penitential Rite: third form, with sec-ond set of invocations.General Intercessions-Introduction: Gathered together inChrist as sisters and brothers, let uscall to mind that God is the livingbread, the sustenance in our lives.· For all who have dedicated themselvesto God, that he will help them to befaithful to their promise,· For peace among nations, that God mayrid the world of violence,· For the aged who suffer from lonelinessand infirmity, that we will sustain themby our love,· For all of us gathered here, that God willteach us to use wisely the good things hehas given us, that they will lead us closerto him and to the eternal blessings hepromises.Preface: 6th for Sundays in O.T.The Lord's Prayer: fourth set ofsample invitations to prayer.

Prayers over the People: 1, 16

R.C.I.A.Death may take us at any moment.The gospel today reveals that wemust be vigilant. We must be readyto be in God' presence.· How can you prepare for the unex-pected?· What does it mean to stay awake?We need to be accountable for everymoment so that we can be ready atall times. Discuss today's gospeland its treatment of how we shouldlive our lives.

Children's Liturgy of the WordLead a discussion on responsibility.Ask the children what things theyare permitted to do now that theywere not allowed to do earlier.· What responsibilities do we have?Discuss the concept of stayingawake, to paying attention.Weshould try to pay attention to whatwe are doing all the time. Are wedoing what God wants us to do?Are we being kind to each other?Jesus helps us through the Church,the bible and the Eucharist to bestrengthened in God's love._______________________________________

FIRST READING: Jer. 38: 4-6, 8-10 You bore me to be a man of strifefor the whole world. The king ispersuaded to allow his leading men tothrow Jeremiah into the well of Mal-chiah. Ebed-melech spoke to the kingagainst these three who did this andJeremiah was rescued.RESPONSORIAL PSALM: Ps. 40 "Lord, come to my aid."SECOND READING: Heb. 12: 1-4 Let us bear patiently thestruggle placed upon us.GOSPEL ACCLAMATION:Jn. 10: 27 "My sheep listen to myvoice," says the Lord: "I knowthem, and they follow."GOSPEL: Lk. 12: 49-53I have come not to give peace butdiscord.Speaking to his disciples Jesus saysthat he has come to bring fire to theearth and division. Father will be di-vided against son, and mother againstdaughter.

FOCUS: "I have come not to givepeace, but discord." The presenceof God in our lives is an active forcerather than a passive one, demand-ing action on our part. The peacewe desire will come through right-eousness and justice, not throughindifference to others.

REFLECTION: "Have we not thebrightest examples of the conver-sions of the human passions for ourChrist in the direction of love? Dida Magdalen, a Paul, a Constantine,an Augustine become mountainsof ice after their conversion? Quitethe contrary. We should neverhave had these prodigies of con-version and marvelous holiness ifthey had not changed the flames ofhuman passion into volcanoes ofimmense love of God." St. Francis Cabrini

"It is good to withdraw from dis-tractions under the protection offour walls, but it is better to with-

draw into solitude within oneself.The first without the second is noth-ing, whereas the last is of the utmostvalue even without the first.It is an excellent thing to go tochurch, but if you can accustomyourself to pray at home as if inchurch, such prayer at home isequally valuable. Just as a man seesanother face to face, try to stand be-fore the Lord, so that your soul isface to face with Him. This is some-thing so natural that there shouldhave been no need to mention it spe-cially, for by its very nature the soulshould strive always towards God.And the Lord is always near. Thereis no need to arrange an introductionbetween them for they are old ac-quaintances Theophane the Recluse

APPLYING THE READINGS TOTHE LITURGY: Introduce the lit-urgy by stating that the gospel is theliving Word which enlightens ourminds towards purposefulness andaction. God challenges us to live andsupport just existence. Introduce theLord's Prayer and or sign of peace byspeaking of our need as a commu-nity to work towards justice. Intro-duce the breaking of the bread byconveying that the Eucharist shat-ters our sense of false peace thatleads to complacency.

General Intercessions—Introduction: My sisters and broth-ers, God is present to us in the firethat burns our lives clean. Let usoffer our prayers to God, who trans-forms our lives through Jesus Christ.• For the Church of God: that we willjoyfully proclaim and live our faith inChrist the eternal gift from God.• For peace and well-being of the wholeworld, that God's gift to us in this lifewill lead us to salvation in the life tocome.• For those who suffer from hunger,sickness, or loneliness: that the gift ofChrist's presence bring them health andpeace,• For our community and our families,who welcome Christ into their lives:that they learn to receive him in the poor

and suffering people of this world,

Preface: 6 for Sundays in Ordinary TimePrayers over the People: 6

Faith FormationThe gospel relates that Jesus camenot to give peace but discord. Thereis zeal in his speaking of bringingfire to the earth.Sometimes we fail to make difficultdecisions. Sometimes we choose tobe aloof to what is needed of us.• What is the difference between outer and inner peace?• In what ways do you need to challenge the outer peace of your daily life?• What are the signs of inner peace?• How does a community achieve inner peace?

Children's Liturgyof the WordTalk about how people and socie-ties have kept an outer peace whiletolerating injustice. Jesus' most pre-cious gift was peace but a peacebased on fairness and equality.• What did Jesus mean when he said he has come to put people against each other?• What did Jesus mean by saying he came not to bring peace but con- flict?Discuss what happens when wedon't work out conflicts between us.We often act as if nothing is wrongand we can be peaceful on the out-side while being angry inside.To have inner peace is hard workbut that's what Jesus gives to us, thestrength to do what seems impos-sible._______________________________________

The Liturgy Planner


FIRST READING: Is. 66: 18-21They will gather all your brothersand sisters from all the nations.The Lord says to Isaiah that he willgather the nations and give them asign.RESPONSORIAL PSALM: Ps. 117 "Go out to the wholeworld, and proclaim the GoodNews."SECOND READING: Heb. 12: 5-7, 11-13 The Lord disciplines thosehe loves.GOSPEL ACCLAMATION:Jn. 14: 6 "I am the way, the truth,and the life, says the Lord; no onecomes to the Father, except throughme."GOSPEL: Lk. 13: 22-30People from the east and the westwill come to take their place in thekingdom of God.Making his way to Jerusalem, Jesuscontinued to teach in the towns andvillages. His message was to try toenter the narrow door. Many will try,but few will succeed.

SCRIPTURAL TOPICS: call ofGod; awareness of God; spiritualreadiness.FOCUS: People from the east andthe west will come to take theirplace in the kingdom of God."The kingdom is open to all yet thedoor is narrow, yielding only tothose who adhere to the demandsof the gospel.

REFLECTION: "Even though thepoor are often rough and unre-fined, we must not judge themfrom external appearances norfrom the mental gifts they seen tohave received. On the contrary, ifyou consider the poor in the lightof faith, then you will observe thatthey are taking the place of the Sonof God who chose to be poor. Al-though in his passion he almost lostthe appearance of a man and wasconsidered a fool by the Gentilesand a stumbling block to the Jews,he showed them that his missionwas to preach to the poor." St. Vincent de Paul

"Enter eagerly into the treasure-house that lies within you, and soyou will see the treasure-house ofheaven: for the two are the same,and there is but one single entry tothem both. The ladder that leads tothe Kingdom is hidden within you,and is found in your own soul. Diveinto yourself and in your soul youwill discover the rungs by which toascend." St. Isaac the Syrian

APPLYING THE READINGS TOTHE LITURGY: The first reading,the psalm, and the gospel developthe theme of the universality of thepromise of salvation. Introduce theliturgy by proclaiming that thekingdom of God has been opened toall through baptism. The door isnarrow but the Eucharist strength-ens us to enter and renews the cove-nant that assures us of salvation.Introduce the Lord's Prayer by re-flecting that we as a communitydesire to bring about the kingdomand there is but one way, throughGod.General IntercessionsIntroduction: Let us pray withhumility, simplicity and confi-dence to God our Father, who is inour midst and lives among us:• For the holy Church of God: that the Lord guide and protect it,• For all peoples of the world: that theLord unite them in peace and har-mony,• For all our sisters and brothers inneed: that the Lord assist them,• That our community may have thefaith and strength to bear witness toChrist's presence,Preface: 1 or 8 for Sundays in O.T.Prayers over the People: 9 or 24

R.C.I.A.• What is Micah's message in the first reading?• What passage stands out the most in today's gospel?Discuss the seemingly adverse pre-cepts of covenant vs. salvation forall. As baptized Christians we enterinto a covenant with God which is apromise of salvation. This promise

is not exclusive to a certain group.• How do you feel about all peoples being offered salvation?• Can salvation be seen as a relationship?• How do the liturgy and the sacraments help us in developing the bond between us and God?

Children's Liturgyof the Word• What does it mean to keep a promise?Using advertisements as an ex-ample, discuss how we are directlyand indirectly promised happinessand well-being. Some exampleswill be helpful.Sometimes people become spiritualadvertisers, offering all kinds ofspecial graces if you only do this orthat.Read the gospel to the children,pointing out that Jesus warnedagainst bragging about religion.Our faith requires more than talk, itrequires action. We enter into God'skingdom by trying to be like Jesus,not by talking like Jesus. _______________________________________

FIRST READING: Sir. 3: 17-20,28-29 Humble yourself and youwill find favor with the Lord.Be gentle in carrying out your work.The greater you are, the more humbleyou should be.RESPONSORIAL PSALM:Ps. 68 "In your goodness, O God,you have prepared a home for thepoor."SECOND READING: Heb. 12: 18-19, 22-24 You have come to MountZion and to the city of the livingGod.GOSPEL ACCLAMATION:Mt. 11: 29 "Take my yoke uponyou; learn from me, for I am gentleof heart."GOSPEL: Lk. 14: 1, 7-14Those who exalt themselves will behumbled and those who humblethemselves will be exalted.Jesus goes for a meal at the home of oneof the leading Pharisees. Seeing howthe guests picked the places of honor,Jesus tells them a parable about a wed-ding feast and humility.

SCRIPTURAL TOPICS: humility;gentleness; imitation of Christ

FOCUS: "Take my yoke upon you;learn from me, for I am gentle ofheart." By responding to the Lord'sinvitation we enter into salvation.We must live the life of humilityand refrain from exalting ourselvesover the dispossessed

REFLECTION: "Have you stillpreserved your state of spiritualwarmth? It should be preserved.Its basis is humility. As soon ashumility decreases, coolness en-ters. For when the soul begins toregard itself as something impor-tant, the Lord at once withdraws;and, left by itself, the soul growscold. It is not just with the tonguethat we should keep saying 'I amnothing', but we should feel ournothingness in the heart. Then theLord will always be there, He whocreates and has created everythingout of nothing. The Lord will givewarmth, but we must do our partas well.

What then, can we contribute to thiswork? Humility and attention, anda suffering submission to God in thedepths of the heart, which shouldcontinue unceasingly whatever wemay be doing or saying, whether weare sitting down or moving about,whether at home or in church. Maythe Lord grant you wisdom. Readholy writings, reflect upon them,and absorb all that is useful, apply-ing it to your life and to your soul." Theophane the Recluse

APPLYING THE READINGS TOTHE LITURGY: Introduce the lit-urgy with the idea that the ways ofGod are often contrary to the ways ofthe world. Rather than exulting inour righteousness we are to behumble, caring for the afflicted andless fortunate. Focus the generalintercessions on the need for a trueconversion to humility among thechurch, government, and commu-nity. Invite the assembly to com-munion by stating that in the Eucha-rist we have a covenant in which wemeet Jesus in all humankind.Sample General Intercessions—Introduction: My brothers and sis-ters, may all who follow Christ rejectwhat is contrary to the gospel. Let uspray to God, to bring the seeds of thegospel to bloom on earth.• For all those who gather in the HolySpirit of God, that he will help them to befaithful to their baptismal call,• For peace among nations, that Godmay rid the world of violence, and let usserve him in freedom,• For the aged who suffer from loneli-ness and infirmity, that we will sustainthem by our lives,• For all of us gathered here, that Godwill teach us to use wisely the goodthings he has given us, that they willlead us closer to him and to eternalblessing.Preface: 6 for Sundays in Ordinary TimePrayers over the People: 2 or 16Solemn Blessing: 4 or 5 for Sundays in O.T.

R.C.I.A.There is an expression, "I AMTHIRD", meaning God first, myneighbor second, and I am third.

• In what ways do I put myself first?• What habits have you grown up with that run contrary to the way of humility?It sometimes seems frightening togive one's will over to God. Byreining in our desires and impulses,by giving up ourselves or what wethink is ourselves we actually cometo know our inner selves.• What elements of your will have you struggled with in your journey of faith?Meditate on the words of St. Ber-nard: "In those respects in whichthe soul is unlike God, it is alsounlike itself."

Children's Liturgy of the WordLook up and discuss the words:humble and humility. Read thedefinition that focuses on the favor-able sense. Derived from the word,"humus" meaning soil or earth, re-late this meaning to our being our-selves, content with who we are,never trying to be someone else._______________________________________

FIRST READING: Wis. 9: 13-18"Who can comprehend the will ofGod?" Who could have understoodthe will of God had wisdom not beengranted?RESPONSORIAL PSALM:Ps. 90 "O Lord, you have been ourrefuge from one generation to thenext."SECOND READING: Philemon9-10, 12-17 "Receive him, not as aslave any more, but as a very dearbrother."GOSPEL ACCLAMATION:Psalm 118, 135 "Let your face shineon your servant, and teach me yourlaws."GOSPEL: Lk. 14: 25-33"Anyone who does not carry hiscross and come after me cannot bemy disciple." Jesus speaks to thecrowd demanding that if they want tobe disciples they must carry their crossand give up all their possessions.

SCRIPTURAL TOPICS: the willof God; wisdom from God; dis-cipleship; the way of the cross

FOCUS: We are called constantlyto renew our commitment to theLord and free ourselves from theimprisonment of the materialworld. It is only by the grace of Godthat we can live faithful lives.

REFLECTION: "Do as the store-keeper does with his merchandise;make a profit on every article. Suf-fer not the loss of the tiniest frag-ment of the true cross. It may onlybe the sting of a fly or the point of apin that annoys you; it may be thelittle eccentricities of a neighbor,some unintentional slight, the in-significant loss of a penny, somelittle restlessness of soul, a slightphysical weakness, a light pain inyour limbs. Make a profit on everyarticle as the grocer does, and youwill soon be wealthy in God." St. Louis de Montfort

APPLYING THE READINGS TOTHE LITURGY: Introduce the lit-urgy by stating that our conversion

is an ongoing process. We are calledto discipline our lives in response tothe grace we receive. Without graceour spiritual lives would be impos-sible for as the first reading reflects,"As for your intentions, who couldhave heard it had you not sent theHoly Spirit."

General Intercessions—Introduction: My sisters and broth-ers, we are gathered in the infiniterichness of prayer. Let us ask Godour Father to remove the obstacles toour path:• For all who have dedicated themselvesto the Lord, that in their poverty theyfind the richness of communion with theHoly Spirit• For peace among nations, that worldleaders see the necessity of putting thevalue of life of material gain;• For all those who suffer from loneli-ness, especially the aged, that we sharethe wealth of existence with them;• For all of us gathered here, that Godwill teach us to use wisely the goodthings given to us, that we may learnto reject materialism and mover closer toGod, the fountain of all blessings

Preface: Sixth for Sundays in OrdinaryTimeEucharistic Prayer: ThirdPrayers over the People: Sixth orSolemn Blessing: 4th for Sundays in O.T.

R.C.I.A.We are always in need of renewal offaith. We will always depend ongrace for our spiritual development.Therefore our conversion is nevercomplete.• What did Jesus mean when he said that we should renounce family and friends in order to follow him?• What does it mean to carry one's cross?• What are and have been the obstacles that keep you from a fuller conversion?• How do you see the church community and the liturgy helping you to overcome these impediments?

Children's Liturgy of the WordAfter reading the gospel relate thatJesus' message is quite shocking.Jesus often said shocking things be-cause people need to be shocked outof their non-helpful lives into amore helpful way of living. Readthe gospel again, substituting thewords, "put God first" in place ofthe word "hate".• Why is God more important than anyone or anything else? _______________________________________

FIRST READING: Ex. 32: 7-11, 13-14 The Lord relented and did notsend the evil he had threatened.The Lord told Moses to go down, be-cause his people had turned to idolatry.God revealed that his wrath would de-stroy them. Moses beseeched the Lordto remember his covenant withAbraham, Isaac and Jacob, and Godrelents.RESPONSORIAL PSALM:Ps. 51 "I will leave this place andgo to my father."SECOND READING:1 Tim. 1: 12-17 "Christ came to save sinners."GOSPEL ACCLAMATION:2 Cor. 5: 19 "God was in Christ, toreconcile the world to himself; andthe Good News of reconciliation hehas entrusted to us."GOSPEL: Lk. 15: 1-32"There will be joy in heaven overone sinner who does penance."Through the parables of the prodigalson, the lost lamb, and the woman wholost a coin, Jesus teaches of the joyexperienced in heaven over the returnof the wayward soul.

SCRIPTURAL TOPICS: covenantwith God; mercy; compassion;reconciliation.

FOCUS: God wills that those whohave wandered away should re-turn, for God's mercy and compas-sion is without fathom.

REFLECTION: "If thou wish toreach the prefection of love, it befitsthee to set thy life in order."

St. Catherine of Siena

"No support can be better than His.The greatest danger lies in the soulthinking that it can find this helpwithin itself; then it will lose every-thing. Evil will dominate it again,eclipsing the light that as yet flick-ers but weakly in the soul, and itwill extinguish the small flamewhich is still scarcely burning. Thesoul should realize how powerlessit is alone; therefore, expectingnothing of itself, let it fall down inhumility before God, and in its ownheart recognize itself to be nothing.

Then grace-which is all-powerful-will, out of this nothing, create in iteverything. He who in total humilityputs himself in the hand of the mer-ciful God, attracts the Lord to him-self, and becomes strong in Hisstrength. Although expecting every-thing from God and nothing fromourselves, we must neverthelessforce ourselves to action, exerting allour strength, so as to create some-thing to which the divine help maycome, and which the divine powermay encompass. Grace is alreadypresent within us, but it will only actafter man has himself acted, fillinghis powerlessness with its ownpower. Establish yourself, therefore,firmly in the humble sacrifice ofyour will to God, and then take ac-tion without any irresolution or half-heartedness ." Theophane the Recluse

APPLYING THE READINGS TOTHE LITURGY: Introduce the lit-urgy by raising the question, "Howoften do we identify with the secondson, the one who wanted to limit thefather's compassion?" God's love isextraordinary and unlike ours, andknows no limits.Penitential rite: Third form withfourth set of sample invocationsGeneral Intercessions-Introduction: My sisters and broth-ers, let us turn our prayers to Godwhose love and mercy are infinite:· That Christians everywhere may beresponsive to the word of God and com-passionate to God's creation;· That people everywhere who hungerfor justice find peace in God's mercy;· That all who have grown complacent infaith may turn to God again and bereconciled as bearers of the gospel,· That our community and families whowelcome Christ into their lives, learn toreceive him in all peoples throughout theworld.Preface: Sixth for Sundays in OrdinaryTimeLord's Prayer: Third suggested intro-duction

Prayers over the People: Second

R.C.I.A.· What relationship do you seebetween the first reading and thegospel?· Is the parable of the prodigal sonhard for you to accept?· Who do you identify with intoday's gospel?Custom at the time of Jesus dictatedthat this acceptance by the father ofthe wayward son would have beenunthinkable. The father would havewritten off the son, never to associ-ate with him again. This parablemust have shocked many.· How do we put limits on what wethink God should do?· Can we accept a totally mercifulGod?· Can you be totally merciful?

Children's Liturgy of the WordThe poem "The Hound of Heaven'by Francis Thompson is an accountof his flight from God and God'sloving, relentless pursuit. God isimagined as a big faithful hound,chasing us through the corridors oftime. This hound wants to play withus, and be with us always. Usingthis image make the comparisonbetween this hound and the fatherof the prodigal son in today's gos-pel.· What does this say about how weshould treat others?_______________________________________

FIRST READING: Amos. 8: 4-7"The Lord God spoke against thosewho buy the poor for money."The Lord will never forget the swin-dling and dishonesty of oppression.RESPONSORIAL PSALM:Ps. 113 "Praise the Lord, whoraises the poor."SECOND READING: 1 Tim. 2: 1-8 "Let prayers be offered to God foreveryone; he wishes that all besaved. "GOSPEL ACCLAMATION:2 Cor. 8: 9 "Jesus Christ was richbut he became poor, to make yourich out of his poverty."GOSPEL: Lk. 16: 1-13 "You cannotbe servants of both God andmoney." Jesus tells the parable of therich man who dismisses his steward.

SCRIPTURAL TOPICS: God'slove for the poor; spiritual priori-ties; spiritual wealth.

FOCUS: The riches of this worldare fleeting and best used to furtherthe kingdom.

REFLECTION: "Avarice is inordi-nate love of riches and the goodthings of this life. Jesus Christ , tocure us of it, was born in extremepoverty, deprived of all comforts.He chose a Mother who was poor.He willed to pass as the son of ahumble workman."

St. John Vianney

"The gift which we have receivedfrom Jesus Christ in holy baptism isnot destroyed, but is only buried asa treasure in the ground. And bothcommon sense and gratitude de-mand that we should take goodcare to unearth this treasure andbring it to light. This can be done intwo ways. The gift of baptism isrevealed first of all by a painstakingfulfillment of the commandments;the more we carry these out, themore clearly the gift shines upon usin its true splendour and brilliance.Secondly, it comes to light and isrevealed through the continual in-vocation of the Lord Jesus, or by

unceasing remembrance of God,which is one and the same thing. Thefirst method is powerful but the sec-ond is more so; so much so that evenfidelity to the commandments re-ceives its full strength from prayer.For this reason, if we truly desire tobring to flower the seed of grace thatis hidden within us, we should has-ten to acquire the habit of this exer-cise of the heart, and always practisethis prayer within it, without anyimage or form, until it warms ourmind and inflames our soul with aninexpressible love towards God andmen." St. Gregory of Sinai

APPLYING THE READINGS TOTHE LITURGY: Introduce the lit-urgy with the suggestion that wepursue the kingdom with at least asmuch zeal as we pursue earthly trea-sures. As the enterprising servantwon the favor of others, we tooshould use our grace and our talentsto bring about spiritual harmony.Sprinkling rite orPenitential rite: Third form with sec-ond set of sample invocationsGeneral Intercession-Introduction:My brothers and sisters, may all whofollow Christ reject what is contraryto the gospel. Let us pray to God,who brings forth life from nothing-ness:· For all those who gather together in theHoly Spirit of God, that they use theirtalents to bring about harmony;· For peace among nations, that re-sources be diverted towards humani-taran purposes· For the aged who suffer from lonelinessand infirmity, that we will sustain themby our love, and committement;· For all of us gathered here, that God willteach us to use our gifts to strengthen thekingdom of God.Preface: Second or fourth for Sundaysin Ordinary TimeLord's Prayer: Fourth suggested intro-ductionPrayers over the People: First or six-teenth orSolemn Blessing in Ordinary time:Fourth

R.C.I.A.The enterprising servant in today'sgospel is a symbol of our need topursue the spiritual life with at leastthe zest with which we pursue ourearthly treasures. People are fairlyindustrious when it comes to ac-quiring material wealth. Let us allincrease our industry in the pursuitof the peaceful kingdom, Godamong us. Peace and harmony canbe ours through love of God and AllHis Creation.· In what ways does the pursuit of aspiritual life run at odds with thepursuit of material riches in yourlife?· How has the lure of wealth affectedyour decisions ?

Children's Liturgy of the WordPeople who serve others serve God.There are many ways in which wecan help bring about a better world.The industrious servant tried to dosomething that helped others ratherthan hinder them. He was trying toserve them. However we choose touse our talents, we must work hardto help make the world a betterplace._______________________________________

FIRST READING: Amos. 6: 1, 4-7"You who give yourselves to licen-tiousness and revelry will be ex-iled." The Lord said: "Woe to thosewho think themselves safe and snug."RESPONSORIAL PSALM:Ps. 146 "My soul, give praise to theLord."SECOND READING:1 Tim. 6: 11-16 "Obey the com-mandments until the coming of theLord. "GOSPEL ACCLAMATION:2 Cor. 8: 9 "Jesus Christ was richbut he became poor, to make yourich out of his poverty."GOSPEL: Lk. 16: 19-31"During your life good things cameyour way but bad things came theway of Lazarus. Now he is beingcomforted while you are in agony."Jesus tells the Pharisees the parable ofthe rich man and Lazarus.

SCRIPTURAL TOPICS: spiritualwealth; divine justice; poor in spirit

FOCUS: "If they will not listen toMoses or the prophets, they willnot be convinced even if someoneshould rise from the dead." It isessential that we accept and re-spond to the faith we receive fromGod.

REFLECTION: "We must come tosee that peace is not merely a dis-tant goal that we seek, but a meansby which we arrive at that goal. Wemust pursue peaceful endsthrough peaceful means." Martin Luther King, Jr.

"Illusion acts in one way, and Godin another-God the unlimitableMaster of man, who was and isnow their Creator. He who createdand re-creates, does He not remainalways the Creator? Therefore, be-loved brother, listen how the actionof illusion differs from divine ac-tion. Illusion, when it approachesman in thought or dream, in somesubtle idea, by some apparitionwhich can be seen with the physicaleyes, or by a voice from on high

heard by the physical ears, neverapproaches as an absolute master,but comes as a charmer who seeksacceptance by man, and from hisacceptance gains power over him.The action of illusion inside or out-side man is always action from with-out; it is open to man to repel it.Illusion is always met at first by acertain doubt in the heart: only thosewhom it has conquered decisivelyaccept it without question. Illusionnever unites a man who is dividedby sin, it does not stop the upsurge ofblood, does not lead the ascetic torepentance, does not make himsmall in his own eyes; on the con-trary it fires his imagination, encour-ages the rush of blood, brings him acertain tasteless, poisonous enjoy-ment, and flatters him insidiously,inspiring him with self-conceit andestablishing in his soul an idol.” St. Gregory of Sinai

APPLYING THE READINGS TOTHE LITURGY: Introduce the lit-urgy by saying we cannot wait forsome miraculous event to inspire usto action, we must act on the faith wereceive. As a community we need toask, "Are we too comfortable, reclin-ing on our couches, listening but nothearing?"Sprinkling rite orPenitential rite: Fourth or sixth formwith second set of sample invocationsGeneral Intercessions-Introduction: Gathered together inChrist, as brothers and sisters, let usrecognize the voice of Lazarus in ourlives and ask God to hear ourprayers.·That pastors may lead in faith and servein love the flock entrusted to their care byChrist the Good Shepherd,· That the whole world may experiencetrue peace, the peace only possiblethrough the Divine Love of Christ,· That our suffering sisters and brothersmay have their sorrow turned to joy,· That our community may have thefaith and strength to bear witness to thegospel.Eucharistic Prayer: 4Prayers over the People: 4Solemn Blessing in O.T. Fourth

R.C.I.A.Scripture has tremendous power inbringing us closer to God. Reflect ontoday's gospel.· What does the gospel mean to you?· What particular passage, phrase,or idea stays in your mind?· How do you see scripture affectingyour life?

Children's Liturgy of the WordAsk the children to think of a timewhen they got the help they reallyneeded.· How did that make them feel?Scripture teaches that God asks usto care for each other, to pay atten-tion to the needs of others and torespond when we are called uponfor assistance._______________________________________

Jesus says that if their faith werethe size of a mustard seed , they couldsay to a tree, be uprooted..... that weare servants of each other, and notmasters over each other.

SCRIPTURAL TOPICS: faith; theWord of God; the Voice of God;witness; trust.

FOCUS: “The word of the Lordstands forever: it is the word givento you, the Good News.” God isever-present: it is up to us to dis-cover what the gift of faith can do inour lives.

REFLECTION: "The mysteriesand secrets of the kingdom of Godfirst seek for believers that theymay make them understanding.For faith is understanding's step,and understanding faith's attain-ment." St. Augustine

“After rendering man an exile fromParadise, through his trespass, andso excommunicating him fromGod, the devil with his demonsacquired access to the reasoningpower of every man, so as to swayit mentally by day and night, insome people more, in others less,and in yet others, to a very greatdegree. And the only way to pro-tect oneself against the devil is by

constant remembrance of God: Hisremembrance must be imprinted inthe heart by the power of the Cross,thus rendering the mind firm andunyielding. This is the aim at whichall our efforts in the inner spirituallife are directed. Every Christian iscalled to follow this path, and if hetravels instead in another direction,he strives in vain. Any man who hasGod within him also undertakes allthe varied spiritual exercises withthis same purpose in view: by meansof voluntary self-denial he strives tocall down the bounty of all-mercifulGod, that God may restore to him hisformer status, setting the imprint ofChrist in his mind; as the Apostlesays: ‘My little children, of whom Itravail in birth again until Christ beformed in you’.” St. Simeon the New Theologian

R.C.I.A.Let our prayers rise above the levelof requests for favors or specialtreatment. Let us not ask God to doour work for us, nor ask Him to takeaway the pain of the consequencesof our actions. Most important, let’snot ask God to give us a specialmiracle, so we can have faith inHim. Instead, let us praise God, andthank Him for the faith and graceHe has given us. Let us fall on ourknees and adore Him, and acceptHis will for us.• What were the apostles requesting when they asked for increased faith?• What do you expect from God?• What do you expect from the Catholic community?

Children's Liturgy of the WordHave the children share instanceswhen they have been rewarded fortheir actions. When have they notbeen rewarded? Would it be rightto work and be helpful only if wewere to receive a prize? While re-wards are nice we cannot expect tobe paid for everything we do. Wemust help out and not worry aboutwhat we’ll get in return. God re-wards us in ways beyond our un-derstanding right now._______________________________________

FIRST READING:2 Kings 5: 14-17 “Nahaam pro-fesses that the Lord is God.”Upon Elisha's instruction, Nahaamimmerses himself seven times in theJordan, healing him of his leprosy.RESPONSORIAL PSALM:Ps. 98 “The Lord has shown hissalvation to the nations.”SECOND READING:2 Tim. 2: 8-13 “If we hold firm, weshall reign with Christ.”GOSPEL ACCLAMATION:1 Thess. 5: 18 “For all things givethanks to God, because this iswhat he expects of you in ChristJesus.”GOSPEL: Lk. 17:11-19“It seems that no one has returnedto give thanks to God except thisstranger.” As Jesus is travelling heencounters ten lepers, who cry out forpity. Jesus tells them to present them-selves to the priests. On their way thelepers are healed. Only one returns tothank Jesus.

SCRIPTURAL TOPICS: faith:patience; trust; endurance.

FOCUS: “It seems that no one hasreturned to give thanks to God ex-cept this stranger.”

REFLECTION: “Anyone who hasthe light to understand what Imean and the grace to follow it willexperience indeed, the delight ofthe Lord’s playfulness. For like afather frolicking with his son, hewill hug and kiss one who comes tohim with a child's heart.”Anonymous, The Cloud of Un-knowing

The gift of baptism is revealed firstof all by a painstaking fulfillment ofthe commandments; the more wecarry these out, the more clearly thegift shines upon us in its truesplendour and brilliance. Sec-ondly, it comes to light and is re-vealed through the continual invo-cation of the Lord Jesus, or by un-ceasing remembrance of God,which is one and the same thing.

The first method is powerful but thesecond is more so; so much so thateven fidelity to the commandmentsreceives its full strength fromprayer. For this reason, if we trulydesire to bring to flower the seed ofgrace that is hidden within us, weshould hasten to acquire the habit ofthis exercise of the heart, and alwayspractise this prayer within it, with-out any image or form, until itwarms our mind and inflames oursoul with an inexpressible love to-wards God and men .” St. Gregory of Sinai

Solemn Blessing in Ordinary time:Fifth

R.C.I.A.The Christian faith, along withother faiths, is a conscious decisionto live the way God tells us to live, inpeace and harmony with all HisChildren. It is a continuing move-ment away from being self-cen-tered to being centered on God.• In what ways did Nahaam in the first reading and the Samaritan of today’s gospel give thanks to God?• What does it feel like to think about giving up your will to God?• What are some of your fears about this process of self-abandonment?We find that giving up the self isopening up to the Divine, we learnto live the Divine Way, taught to usby God.

Children's Liturgyof the WordGod wants us to be thankful. Godwants us to be like the one leperwho came back to thank to Jesus. Doyou thank people for the things theydo for you? Do you thank your par-ents and teachers for teaching youthe things you need to know? Doyou thank your friends for encour-aging you? Do you thank God forgiving you the chance to learn tolive in peace with strangers?_______________________________________

FIRST READING: Ex. 17: 8-13"As long as Moses kept his armsraised, Israel had the advantage."RESPONSORIAL PSALM:Ps. 121 "Our help is in the name ofthe Lord, who made heaven andearth."SECOND READING:2 Tim. 3: 14 - 4: 2 "This is how theman of God becomes equipped andready for every good work."GOSPEL ACCLAMATION:Hebrews 4: 12 "The word of God isliving and active; it probes thethoughts and motives of ourheart."GOSPEL: Lk. 18: 1-8 "God will seethose who cry out to God vindi-cated." Using the parable of theunjust judge and the persistentwidow, Jesus taught his disciplesthe need to pray constantly.

SCRIPTURAL TOPICS: the Wordof God; prayer; the power of God;determination

FOCUS: Persistence is essential inall matters, so that we become evermindful of God.

REFLECTION: "'Pray withoutceasing', St. Paul writes to theThessalonians (1 Thess. 17). And inother epistles, he advises: 'Pray al-ways with all supplication in thespirit' (Eph. vi. 18), 'continue inprayer and watch in the same' (Col.1v. 2), 'continuing to stand inprayer' (Rom. xii. 12). Also the Sav-iour Himself teaches the need forconstancy and persistency inprayer, in the parable about theimportunate widow, who wonover the unrighteous judge by thepersistency of her appeals (Lukexviii, 1-8). It is clear from this thatunceasing prayer is not an acciden-tal prescription, but the essentialcharacteristic of the Christianspirit. The life of a Christian, ac-cording to the Apostle, 'is hid withChrist in God' (Col. iii. 3). So theChristian must live in God continu-ously, with attention and feeling: todo this is to pray without ceasing.

We are also taught that every Chris-tian is 'the temple of God', in which'dwelleth the Spirit of God' (I Cor. iii.16; vi. 19; Rom. viii. 9). It is this'Spirit', always present and pleadingin him, that prays within him 'withgroaning that cannot be uttered'(Rom. viii. 26), and so teaches himhow to pray without ceasing. It isclear to everyone that the advice ofthe Apostle is not carried out merelyby the practice of establishedprayers at certain set hours, but re-quires a permanent walking beforeGod, a dedication of all one's activi-ties to Him who is all-seeing andomni-present, an ever-fervent ap-peal to heaven with the mind in theheart. The whole of life, in all itsmanifestations, must be permeatedby prayer. But its secret is love for theLord. As the bride, loving the bride-groom, is not separated from him inremembrance and feeling, so thesoul, united with God in love, re-mains in constancy with Him, di-recting warm appeals to Him fromthe heart. 'He that is joined unto theLord is one spirit'(I Cor. vi. 17). Theophane the Recluse

APPLYING THE READINGS TOTHE LITURGY:Penitential rite: Third form with firstor fifth set of sample invocationsOpening Prayer: AlternateIntroduce the general intercessionsby emphasizing that as the widowpersevered until she was heeded, sotoo must we persevere in our privateand communal prayer.· For all who have dedicated themselvesto God, that the Holy Spirit strengthenand support them in their work;· For peace among nations, that the loveof God be seen in our actions;· For the aged who suffer from lonelinessand infirmity, that they may experiencethe closeness of God's spirit· For all of us gathered here, that God willlead us ever-closer to Him and to theeternal blessings he promises.Introduce the Lord's Prayer by sug-gesting that Jesus taught us to prayconstantly by speaking of God asAbba, showing us a personal Godwith whom we can communicateinteriorly.

Preface: First or eighth preface in O.T.Prayers over the people: 23rd orSolemn Blessing in O.T.: Third

R.C.I.A.Prayers of praise, supplication,gratitude, and glorification, astaught in the Lord's prayer willbring you ever-closer to God.Elaborate on those kinds of prayerin your communication with God.Silent prayer may be without con-scious thoughts, a simple beingwith God, loving Him. Listening toHim.· How can you pray always in spiteof having a busy life?Discuss the various forms of struc-tured and unstructured prayer,such as the Rosary, the Jesus Prayer,Liturgy of the Hours, and privateprayer. Dwelling in God's Love isanother way of praying always.Look for the good in people as aform of prayer. Cultivate a peacefullife-style so you have time to thinkabout God.

Children's Liturgy of the WordWhen you pray to God, first praiseHim: "Our Father, Who art inHeaven, hallowed by thy name."Then ask Him to give you what youneed, but don't ask for special fa-vors or special signs. Don't ask Godto do your work for you. Next,thank Him for what He has givenyou. Last, glorify Him, by beingvery aware of His presence and tell-ing Him you are aware of His Glory._______________________________________

FIRST READING:Sir. 35: 12-14, 16-19 "The prayer ofthe humble will penetrate theheavens." The Lord does not ignorethe devotion of the downtrodden.RESPONSORIAL PSALM:Ps. 34 "This poor man called: theLord heard him."SECOND READING:2 Tim. 4: 6-9, 16-18 "All that re-mains is the crown of righteous-ness reserved for me."GOSPEL ACCLAMATION:2 Cor. 5: 19 "God was in Christ, toreconcile the world to himself; andthe Good News of reconciliation hehas entrusted to us."GOSPEL: Lk. 18: 9-14"The publican returned to his homejustified; the Pharisee did not."Jesus tells the parable of the pridefulPharisee and the humble tax collector.

SCRIPTURAL TOPICS: humility;reconciliation; Good News

FOCUS: Sincerity in our love ofGod is essential lest we succumb tothe kind of pride in which we judgeothers but fail to examine our-selves.

REFLECTION: "There is no needto be afraid of illusion. It overtakesthose who become vain, who beginto think that as soon as warmth hascome into the heart they are al-ready at the summit of perfection.In fact this warmth is only the be-ginning and may not prove stable.For this warmth and peace in theheart may just be something natu-ral-the fruit of concentrated atten-tion. We have to labour and labour,to wait and wait."

Theophane the Recluse

"Blessed is the servant who es-teems himself no better when he isexalted by people than when he isconsidered worthless, simple, anddespicable; for what a man is be-fore God, that he is and nothingmore." St. Francis of Assissi

APPLYING THE READINGS TOTHE LITURGY: Introduce the lit-urgy by asking people to enter intothe prayer of the Mass with humil-ity. In baptism we were given thehumility of Christ. Through our res-urrection in humility and his resur-rection in life we have been openedto God's threshold.Sprinkling rite orPenitential rite: Third form with 6thor 8th set of sample invocationsOpening Prayer: AlternateGeneral Intercessions-Introduction: My sisters and broth-ers, let us offer our prayers to God,who transforms our lives throughJesus Christ.· For the Church of God: that we willjoyfully proclaim and live our faith inthe humility of Christ;· For peace and well-being of the wholeworld, that God's gift to us in this life berealized in the simple life;· For those who suffer from hunger, sick-ness, or loneliness: that those who arelast now will be first in the richness ofGod;· For our community and our families,who welcome Christ into their lives: thatthey learn to receive him in the poor andhumble people of this world.Preface: 2nd preface in Ordinary timeEucharistic Prayer: fourthPrayers over the people: tenth orSolemn Blessing in O. T.: Third

R.C.I.A.True devotion to God is more thansaying words. Disposition of theheart is what counts. The Pharisee intoday's gospel was a God-fearing,church-going man.· Where did he go wrong?Beware of the "us and them" syn-drome. Being members of a groupmay lead us to pride, and even ha-tred, if we don't guard against it. Wemust not hold ourselves separatefrom any of God's creations.· In what ways do you separate your-self from others?· How does one guard against spiri-tual pride?

Children's Liturgyof the WordListening to God: Be quiet and listento God, for just a few seconds. Keepyour eyes open and breathe.Straighten your back. Listen.Doesn't it make you happy? Don'tyou just feel like smiling? Godmakes us happy. Doing what Hewants us to do makes the happinesslast. What does God want you todo? If we do what God wants us todo, we will be happy even when wearen't happy (laughter).After reading the gospel, discussthe Pharisee's thinking. When wethink too much about ourselves orour own importance we don't havetime to love each other._______________________________________

FIRST READING: Wis. 11: 22—12: 2 “You have mercy on allthings because you love every-thing that exists.” God , whoseimperishable spirit is in us all, lovesall that exists.RESPONSORIAL PSALM:Ps. 145 “I will bless your namefor ever, O God my king."SECOND READING:2 Thess. 1: 11—2: 1 “The name ofthe Lord Jesus Christ will be glori-fied in you and you in him.”GOSPEL ACCLAMATION:Jn. 3: 14 “God loved the world somuch, he gave us his only Son, thatall who believe in him might haveeternal life.”GOSPEL: Lk. 19: 1-10“The Son of Man came to seek andto find that which was lost.”Zacchaeus, anxious to catch a glimpseof Jesus, climbed up a sycamore. WhenJesus reached the spot he welcomedZacchaeus down. Zacchaeus, movedby Jesus declared to give half of hispossessions to the poor and to repaythose whom he may have cheated.

SCRIPTURAL TOPICS: love ofGod; spiritual strength; pursuit ofheavenly goals.

FOCUS: God, who loves all thatexists, sent his Son to seek out thelost.

REFLECTION: "The essentialmood of the penitent is this: 'In theway Thou knowest, O Lord, saveme. For my part I will labor with-out hypocrisy, without deviationand misinterpretation, but accord-ing a pure conscience, doing every-thing that I understand and thatlies in my power.' Whoever cantruly feel this in his heart, is ac-cepted by the Lord, who thencomes to rule as king within him.God is his teacher, God it is whoprays in him, God it is who bearsfruit in him. God is his ruler. Sucha state is the seed and the heart ofthe heavenly tree of life withinhim." Theophane the Recluse

"Heretics are to be converted by anexample of humility and other vir-tues for more readily than by anyexternal display or verbal battles. Solet us arm ourselves with devoutprayers and set off showing signs ofgenuine humility and go barefootedto combat Goliath." St. Dominic

APPLYING THE READINGS TOTHE LITURGY:Introduction to the Liturgy: The giftof salvation extends to all people; forthe imperishable spirit throughJesus Christ, is in us all.Opening Prayer: see alternateSample General Intercessions—Introduction: My sisters and broth-ers, God our Father loves all human-kind and desires all to be saved. Letus pray to God with all our hearts,• For the holy Church of God: that theLord guide and protect the lost sheep• For peace among nations, that Godmay rid the world of violence, and thatworld leaders experience a conversion ofvalues;• For all our brothers and sisters in need,that through us, the Lord will assistthem,• For all of us gathered here, that we mayrecognize and respond to God in ourmidst;Eucharistic Prayer: FourthConcluding Rite—Solemn Blessing: Fourth

R.C.I.A.God not only accepts us but goes onestep further as shown in today' gos-pel. The universality of God's loverevolutionizes us and activatesdeeper parts of our existence.• In what ways do you relate to theactions of Zacchaeus in today's gos-pel?• What comparison can you drawbetween Jesus' response in gospelreading, and God's response to us?

Children's Liturgy of the Word• What is it like to joyfully await thecoming of something?•What are some of the things welook forward to?In the gospel reading Zacchaeus was

very exited about seeing Jesus.Reflect and use examples from thefirst reading that illustrate God call-ing us to action. God wills us intobeing. The spirit of God drewZacchaeus to Jesus so strongly thathe climbed a sycamore tree just tosee him. So it is in our lives, that theHoly Spirit draws us closer to Jesusso that we too may get to know him.______________________________________________________________________________

Sevenbrothers and their mother are torturedand killed for their beliefs.RESPONSORIAL PSALM: Ps. 17"I shall be filled, when I awake,with the light of your glory."SECOND READING:2 Thess. 2: 16:- 3: 5 "May the Lordstrengthen you in everything goodthat you do or say."GOSPEL ACCLAMATION:Rev. 1: 5, 6 "Jesus Christ is thefirstborn of the dead; glory andkingship be his for ever and ever.Amen."GOSPEL: Lk. 20: 27-38"He is not of the dead but of theliving."Some Sadducees pose a hypotheticalproblem about a dead woman who inlife had married several brothers. Thequestion arose; whose wife is she? Jesusreplies that we will live like angels atthat time.

SCRIPTURAL TOPICS: resurrec-tion; new life; the glory of God

FOCUS: Through the power of theresurrection, we have new life,both now and forever.

REFLECTION: "My beloved onesare encompassed by my love, andare absorbed by it; a love withoutimages and without spoken words.They are back gathered into me, thegood from which they flowed."

Bl. Henry Suso

"The almighty and most holy Wordof the Father pervades the whole ofreality, everywhere unfolding hispower and shining on all thingsvisible and invisible. He sustains itall and binds it together in himself.He leaves nothing devoid of hispower but gives life and keeps it inbeing throughout all of creationand in each individual." Theophane the Recluse

"At last the period of vexatioussearching passes; the fortunateseeker receives what he has sought.He finds the heart and establisheshimself in it with his mind beforeGod, and stands before Him un-swerving like a faithful subject be-fore the King, receiving from Himthe power and strength to rule overall his inner and outer life, accordingto God's good pleasure. This is themoment when the kingdom of Godenters within and begins to manifestitself in its natural strength.." Theophane the Recluse

APPLYING THE READINGS TOTHE LITURGY: God tells us in thereadings today, that we cannot com-pare life in this world with life in thehere-after. We should not concernourselves with what God has instore for us, and think more aboutdoing His will, that is, bringing Hispeace to earth. The more we loveHim and each other, the more life inthis world is like the heavenly here-after. These are things God tells us inour hearts. Intellectual-ising them isa waste of time.Sprinkling rite orPenitential rite: Third form with fifthset of sample invocationsSample General Intercessions-Introduction: My brothers and sis-ters, let us pray to God, to bring theseeds of the gospel to bloom onearth.· For all those who gather in the HolySpirit of God, that he will help them to befaithful to their baptismal call,· For peace among nations, that God mayrid the world of violence, and let us servehim in peace,· For the aged who suffer from lonelinessand infirmity, that we will sustain themby our lives,· For all of us gathered here, that God willteach us to use our eternal gifts to en-hance our world.Preface: Sixth preface in Ordinary timeThe Lord's Prayer: See fourth sampleinvitationPrayers over the people: 1 or 16 orSolemn Blessing in Ordinary time:Fourth or fifth.

R.C.I.A.Christians sometimes think ofheaven, the resurrection, and thekingdom as after-life experiences.Reflect on the passage that our Godis a God of the living. How do weexperience heaven on earth, resur-rection from despair, and God'slove for us, now? By listening toHim. By being aware of Him. He'sright here. Be still and listen.· How have you experienced theLiving God in your life?

Children's Liturgy of the Word· Is God far away in heaven orwithin us? Where is God?God is all around us, in us, andalways with us. God fills all spaceand time. God is in us, and we are inHim. We can hear Him if we listenwith love. When we look with lovewe can see Him. He loves us andcomforts us, he tells us to be kind toeveryone, because He loves every-one.______________________________________________________________________________

FIRST READING: Mal. 3: 19-20"The sun of righteousness willshine on you." The day is comingwhen the conceited and evildoerswill perish.RESPONSORIAL PSALM:Ps. 98 "The Lord comes to rule thepeoples with fairness."SECOND READING: 2 Thess. 3:7-12 "If anyone refuses to workthen do not let them eat."GOSPEL ACCLAMATION:Lk. 21: 28 "Lift up your heads andsee; your redemption is near athand."GOSPEL: Lk. 21: 5-19"Your endurance will win you yourlife." Jesus speaks of a time when na-tion will rise up against nation.

SCRIPTURAL TOPICS:Endurance; redemption; righ-teousness; fairness

FOCUS: We know not the hourwhen the Son of Man will return.Upon his arrival there will be peaceand mercy for all.

REFLECTION: "He suffers thegreatest persecution of all wholives under none. A storm puts aman on his guard and obliges himto exert his utmost efforts to avoidshipwreck." St. Jerome

"Be patient in trials, watchful inprayer, and never cease working.Be considerate in your speech,well-orderd in your actions andgrateful to your benefactors. Re-member, for all this an eternal king-dom is being made ready for you."

St. Francis of Assisi

"The life of a Christian on earth is achain of suffering. It is necessary tofight against our own body, againstpassions and evil spirits. Our hopelies in this fight. Our salvation isfrom God. Having put our relianceon Him, we must bear with pa-tience the time of struggle. We areground between the millstones oftemptation as grain that is groundinto flour. Divine Providence per-mits these trials to assail us for the

great benefit of our soul; from themwe acquire a contrite and humbleheart which God will not despise."

Bishop Ignatii

APPLYING THE READINGS TOTHE LITURGY: Introduce the lit-urgy by saying there can be no delayin the practising of our faith. We arenot to worry about when the endtimes will be. Rather, we are to liveup to our life's potential by exercis-ing our faith and being active wit-nesses to the truth. Introduce thebreaking of the bread by proclaim-ing the Eucharist to be the "sun ofrighteousness that shines out withhealing rays, that infuses us withstrength to remain faithful until hisreturn."Sprinkling rite orPenitential rite: Third form with sec-ond set of sample invocationsGeneral IntercessionsIntroduction: Let us pray with hu-mility, simplicity and confidence toGod our Father, who is in our midstand lives among us:· For the holy Church of God: that theLord guide and protect it,· For all peoples of the world: that theLord unite them in peace and harmony,· For all our sisters and brothers in need:that the Lord assist them,· That our community may have the faithand strength to bear witness to Christ'spresence.Preface: Sixth preface in OrdinaryTimeThe Lord's Prayer: See fourth sampleinvitationPrayers over the people: First or six-teenth orSolemn Blessing in Ordinary time:Fourth or fifth.

R.C.I.A.The liturgical year begins and endswith the Second Coming. We endthe year meditating on the implica-tions of the end times. We begin theyear with proclaiming our ultimatedestiny, which became knownthrough the incarnation, will cometo fruition through the Second Com-ing.

· Does your desire for baptism tellyou that God wants you to do some-thing? Is that desire really God'sgrace leading you to be a witness toHis word, His teachings?· What does it mean to be a witnessfor the gospel?We are called to be witnesses inmany different ways. It is up to us tolook and listen carefully to discernwhat God wants of us, then do it.

Children's Liturgy of the WordJesus said that people will comewith big promises. Many things of-fered in life are tempting but noneexcept God provides lasting happi-ness. The psalm today speaks ofrivers clapping their hands and hillsringing for joy at the coming of theLord. True happiness comes notfrom things but from our hearts,from being kind to each other, andseeking God in our lives.______________________________________________________________________________

FIRST READING: 2 Sam. 5: 1-3"They anointed David king of Is-rael."RESPONSORIAL PSALM:Ps. 122 "I rejoiced when I heardthem say: 'Let us go to God'sHouse."SECOND READING:Col. 1: 12-20 He has taken us intothe kingdom of his beloved Son.GOSPEL ACCLAMATION:Mk. 11: 10 "Blessed is he who in-herits the kingdom of David ourfather; blessed is he who comes inthe name of the Lord."GOSPEL: Lk. 23: 35-43Lord, remember me when you comeinto your kingdom.Jesus is jeered at on the cross. One ofthe others being crucified asks Jesus toremember him when he comes into hiskingdom.

SCRIPTURAL TOPICS:Crucification; the cross; the king-dom; Christ the King; annointing

FOCUS: "Above him there was aninscription, 'This is the king of theJews'." In Jesus we have a king witha cross for a throne, a king who diedthat we may live.

REFLECTION: "The essentialmood of the penitent is this: 'In theway Thou knowest, O Lord, saveme. For my part I will labour with-out hypocrisy, without deviationand misinterpretation, but accord-ing to a pure conscience, doing ev-erything that I understand and thatlies in my power.' Whoever cantruly feel this in his heart, is ac-cepted by the Lord, who thencomes to rule as king within him.God is his teacher, God it is whoprays in him, God it is who willsand acts in him, God it is who bearsfruit in him. God is his ruler. Such astate is the seed and the heart of theheavenly tree of life within him." Theophane the Recluse

"Ye shall therefore have the bless-ing which I shall give at the lastjudgement, inasmuch as ye did notrepulse Me when I came into Mineown place, as did my persecutors,

but of your compassion did receiveMe into the lodging of your hearts,as a desolate pilgrim; when I hungnaked upon the Cross, hungry,thirsty, and sick, and pierced bynails, ye did suffer with Me in mydeath and desired in all things to beMy companions." Bl. Angela of Foligno

APPLYING THE READINGS TOTHE LITURGY: If the sprinklingrite is used, an introductory state-ment could focus on our sharing inChrist's passion and death throughthe waters of baptism.General IntercessionsIntroduction: Let us pray with hu-mility, simplicity and confidence toGod who raises our prayers like heraised his Son.· For the holy Church of God: that hermembers always see the resurrection inthe many crucifixtions of the world;· For all peoples of the world: that theLord unite them in peace and harmony,· For all our sisters and brothers in need:that the Lord raise them,· That our community may have the faithand strength to bear witness to Christ'spresence.By sharing in his death we share inhis kingship as well. Use a fractionrite "Lamb of God", drawing varioustitles for Jesus from today's read-ings, such as "Jesus, king of kings;Jesus, whose throne is a cross,' etc.Introduce the breaking of the breadby stating that the Eucharist is thecommunal meal in which we sharethe kingship of Jesus.The Lord's Prayer: See fourth sampleinvitationPrayers over the people: 20 orSolemn Blessing in O.T.: Third

R.C.I.A.If the metaphor of kingship lacksmeaning to you, try substituting 'theDivine' or 'the Holiest' for King, and'divinity' for kingdom:Jesus who died in time is king (theHoliest) of eternity. Metaphors areused to increase understanding.Once the understanding has beenachieved the metaphor is no longerneeded. Metaphors are chosen fortheir utility, and may be discarded

or replaced when their utility isover.There is no clear distinction in lit-urgy and scripture texts betweenthe end and the beginning of theChurch year. Today's responsorialpsalm is the same as next week's.The theme of the Second Comingcontinues as we prepare for Ad-vent.· Why do we emphasize the endtimes at this time of year?The Advent-Christmas season isfull of liturgical references that areparadoxical. The infinite one be-comes finite so that our mortal soulsmay receive immortal value.Discuss the idea that in the Eucha-rist we share in the kingdom ofJesus through a special agreementbetween us and God. The Eucharistis a meeting point between God andus.

Children's Liturgy of the WordExplain what is metaphor is.What does it mean to carry a cross?Point out metaphors in stories andsongs that the children are familiarwith._____________________________________________________________________________
