A Family Perspective by Bud Oscar

Twenty Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time In today’s Gospel Jesus asked, “What is your opinion?” Why do we think our opinion is

dogma or fact? An opinion is only how we perceive a situation or how we feel comfortable doing something. Don’t argue over or become divided by “your opinion.”

Nurse’s Notes by Karen Dean POPE FRANCIS’ 10 SECRETS TO HAPPINESS (To be cont’d next week)

5. Make Sunday a Holy Day. Pope Francis suggests that a surefire way to find happiness is to reclaim Sunday as a holy day. He also suggests that Sunday should be a family day. You can start to make Sunday a holy day by going to Mass every week. Making the rest of the day holy will depend on your work indoors, outdoor adventures will allow you to enjoy God’s creation. If you’re active all week, you might build some quiet time into Sunday. Observing Sunday as a holy day offers us the opportunity to reflect on the spiritual side of our existence, appreciate the blessings of family, and discover true happiness. What kinds of things would you have to change in your life in order to reclaim Sunday as a holy day?

6. Create jobs for young people. We find purpose in our lives through meaningful

work; we are encouraged to take that one step further and ensure that young people have what Pope Francis calls “dignified jobs.” We can start the process early in our own families by assigning to our children household chores that teach them the importance of making a contribution to the family. We can involve preteens and adolescents in volunteer service projects where they can use their God-given gifts and talents. “We need to be creative with young people.” The pope urges, “in order to prevent them from slipping into drugs and despair. When we find ways to raise them up, we will discover in them and in ourselves a deeper sense of happiness.” How can you help young people find dignity and happiness through meaningful work or service?

7. Respect and take care of nature. We are the stewards of God’s creation, and we have a responsibility to preserve and protect it – not just for ourselves, but for future generations—including clean air and water, wetlands and forests, and farm lands and natural resources. Pope Francis ask the question: “Isn’t humanity committing suicide with this indiscriminate and tyrannical use of nature?” We can start in our own homes, schools and workplaces by recycling, reusing and cutting back in pollutants and waste. Our personal campaign to respect and care for nature brings happiness, because we know that we are taking time and important steps to respect and preserve our environment. What is something that you can do to become a better steward of God’s creation?

If you have dishes, crock pots or other items from cover

dishes, bereavements, please take a moment to come and

get them from the kitchen hall. Thank You
