Twentieth
Sunday in Ordinary Time
August 14,
2016
The
Gospel this week talks about the good news as well as the bad news. Interesting isn’t it, that we so often only
react and show interest when there is shocking or bad news. Think about what is most watched on TV or
other media. The division and the
persecution that is going on in our world against Christians should open our
eyes. Jesus himself was slain while He
walked the earth. The challenges that we
as Christians face have been with us since the beginning. The temptations to walk away from God and to
worship earthly things is the evil one at work in our lives. As we reflect on this week’s readings and the
message God has for each of us, let us pray for strength to be the best
followers of Christ possible. Pray for
courage to do God’s will whatever the cost. – Deacon Jim
