Scripture Reflection:
Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time:
In today’s reading from the prophet Isaiah, there is a guarantee that the unleashing of
God’s Word will bear much fruitfulness in the world. The Word of God will accomplish
whatever God sends it forth to do. His Word
is given to us as a gift to be nurtured, shared and made to “bear fruit.” The
question is whether or not we are exercising good stewardship over God’s Word. Have we
been “fruitful” with God’s Word? Have we unleashed God’s Word? Do we share God’s
Word or do we leave that task to others?

Stewardship Reflection “The seed sown among thorns is the one who
hears the word but then the cares of the world
and the lure of riches choke the word and it
bears no fruit.” - Matthew 13:22
Does the lure of riches and material goods choke God out of your life? Are you so caught up in worldly activities that you have no time for God? Stewardship
is a lifestyle to be lived every day. It effects all the decisions we make. What we receive at Mass every Sunday should be shared with others all the other days of the week.

Eucharistic Visits
The hidden life of Jesus in Nazareth is continued
in the divine Host in the tabernacle, and the Passion of the Man-God on Calvary is
renewed in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass all over the world.
Is not our Lord Jesus meek and humble in His
Sacrament as He was during His mortal life?
He is always the Good Shepherd, the Divine Consoler, and our very best Friend.

Centennial Celebration of the Apparitions of Our Lady of Fatima
