Twenty-Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Twenty-Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time
September 24th, 2006
St. Xavier Parish Home Page
On this Lord's Day, we gather around the table of the word of God, where we will hear words that challenge and comfort us. As this Mass begins, let us pray for the strength to respond in love to the gospel's call to be the good news for all we meet.
In today's Gospel, Jesus speaks often about his coming passion. His disciples, for their part, ignore these predictions. Instead, they argue among themselves about what share in Jesus's royal power and glory will be given them. Jesus' response to the disciples' arrogance is not one of anger or frustration. What he does is remarkable - he hugs a little child and tells his disciples, and us, that whoever welcomes a little child welcomes him. That is who is greatest in Jesus' kingdom.
PARISH DISCOVERY DAYS
On Octber 21-22 all Masses will be celebrated in the School Gym. All leaders of parish groups are asked to begin preparations for your display on tables in the Gym.
We welcome to the Christian Community Brock Richard Bazaan, child of Richard & Jennifer. Brock was baptized on September 16th. May God's blessings be with you and your family.
