Your dona ons assist the poor in many ways. Poor boxes are located near the doors of the church. Please drop your dollar bills and loose change and help us help others. God bless Pope's Prayer Intention

That our parishes, animated by a missionary spirit, may be places where faith is communicated and charity is seen. In his Message for the 2017 World Day of Prayer for Vocations, Pope Francis wrote: “All Christians are called to be missionaries of the Gospel! As disciples, we do not receive the gift of God’s love for our personal consolation, nor are we called to promote ourselves, or a business concern. We are simply men and women touched and transformed by the joy of God’s love, who cannot keep this experience just to ourselves.” Scripture Acts 2: 42-47 “All who believed were together and had all things in common. Every day the Lord added to their number those who were being saved.”

TWENTY-THIRD SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME GOD’S WATCHERS

In the ancient world watchmen were extremely important people. They kept communi es safe, and were there to alert them to any impending danger or a ack. Before locks, alarms, and security systems, watchmen were the protectors, the safety measure. So when the Lord charges Ezekiel as a watchman today, it is a weighty charge. So weighty, we learn, that if Ezekiel fails to sound the alarm for those around him and they perish in a state of wickedness, Ezekiel will be held responsible! This profound connec on between God’s will on earth and in heaven is repeated in today’s Gospel, where Jesus instructs us that we are to be the security force, the watchers placed on alert that nowhere in the Body of Christ, the church, will there be any two members of the one Body who are not reconciled. Scripture tells us that Jesus reconciled all things in heaven and on earth

through the blood of his cross. But we are given the mission to con nue that reconcilia on on earth as in heaven through our ceaseless efforts to be, as Paul would write, ambassadors of reconcilia on. Let us not get too comfortable thinking that we are responsible only for keeping our own lives from the path of wickedness and disagreement. We are also held accountable for the lives of the members of Christ’s body around us. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.
