33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time 1st Reading: Malachi 3: 19-20a Psalm 98: 5-9 2nd Reading: 2 Thessalonians 3: 7-12 Gospel: Luke 21: 5-19 Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe 1st Reading: 2 Samuel 5: 1-3 Psalm 122: 1-5 2nd Reading: Colossians 1: 12-20 Gospel: Luke 23: 35-43
33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time The liturgical year draws to a close with reminders that being a disciple of Jesus is not easy. Faithfulness to Christ will bring opposition and ridicule. We may stand up against abortion, or torture or the death penalty. We may speak out of immigrants, refugees and the poor. These positions might cause others to reject us. We are privileged to be disciples—brothers and sisters of Jesus, but like his road, ours will involve the cross.
Cedarbrake Catholic Retreat Center in Belton (254)780-2436 www.cedarbrake.org
[email protected] Silent Advent Retreat, December 2-4 You have heard the saying, “Jesus is the Reason for the Sea-son”. He truly is; that is why we have set aside a weekend for you to come and spend some time in the quiet preparing your hearts for the birth of our Lord. Spiritual Direction will be avail-able as well as Reconciliation and Adoration. The retreat will be led by the Cedarbrake staff. Meals and linens are provided. Contact Cedarbrake to register or for more information. Advent Dinner, December 6 Join us for an evening of wine and cheese and a delicious dinner followed by a reflection on Advent by Missionary of the Sacred Heart Father Richard O’Rourke, pastor of St. Paul Chong Ha-sang Parish in Harker Heights. The evening begins at 6:30 pm and will end around 8:30 pm. Contact Cedarbrake to register or for more information. Transformed by Faith, January 16 We will spend this day reflecting on the gifts of five women whose courageous actions impacted the world (Sojourner Truth, Thea Bowman, Maya Angelou, Rosa Parks and Harriet Tub-man). Their fearlessness and faithfulness changed lives because they embraced the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Come and learn about these incredible women; who they were and what they did. Beverly Collin will facilitate this day. Contact Cedarbrake to register or for more information. Cancer Survivor’s Retreat, February 20 This retreat is a time for cancer survivors to come together to share their stories. Wanda Gibson is a business owner, spiritual director, and cancer survivor. Mrs. Gibson will lead this prayer-ful, winter day of reflection, meditation, discussion and move-ment thru the survivor’s journey into the present moment. Whether you are celebrating one week or twenty years since your cancer experience you are invited to join us in courageous company as we allow our mind, body, and spirit to engage, heal, rest, renew, and rejoice. Contact Cedarbrake to register or for more information.
