21ST SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME August 26, 2018
Scripture Insights In life we face many important choices, and
to-day’s readings illustrate some of them. In the Letter to the
Ephesians, Paul speaks about the foundational choice man and woman
make when they commit themselves totally to each other: “and the
two shall become one flesh.” In their self-sacrificing love for
each other in marriage, we glimpse the depths of Christ’s
self-sacrificing love for the Church. The book of Joshua presents
the foundational choice the people of Israel face on entering the
Promised Land: “Decide today whom you will serve, the gods your
fathers served beyond the River or the gods of the Amo-rites?”
Memories of God’s faithful love, mercy, and care influence their
decision. “Therefore, we also will serve the LORD, for he is our
God.” The people renew themselves to the covenant re-lationship
with God. At the conclusion to the Bread of Life discourse, Jesus
asks his followers to make their foundational choice for or against
him. So many were shocked by Jesus’ words and walked away when he
identified himself as the “Bread that came down from heaven” and
then went further by adding “unless you eat the flesh of the Son of
Man and drink his blood you have no life in you.” So Jesus asked
his own disciples if they too wished to leave. As usual, Peter
re-plies on behalf of the others, “Master, to whom shall we go? You
have the words of eternal life.” As God committed himself to his
people, Jesus committed himself to us, the new people of God,
through his Death and Resurrection. The self-sacrificing love in
Christian Marriage witnesses to God’s love for us in Christ Jesus.
• Hoe does Paul’s call to love in marriage show
that husband and wife are equal partners? • What in the Gospel
narrative shows that Pe-
ter’s commitment to Jesus is a response to the gift of faith he
has received?
• Reflect on your own relationship and commit-ment to the Lord.
In what ways are you able to confess with Peter: “Master, to whom
shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.”

OUR FAMILY PRAYER
Loving and faithful God, through the years the people of our
archdiocese have appreciated the prayers and love of Our Lady of
Prompt Succor in times of war, disaster, epidemic and illness.
We come to you,
Father, with Mary our Mother, and ask you to help us in the
battle of today against violence,
murder and racism.
We implore you to give us your wisdom that we may build a
community founded on the values of
Jesus, which gives respect to the life and dignity of all
people.
Bless parents that they may form their children in faith. Bless
and protect our youth that they may be peacemakers of our time.
Give consolation to those who have lost loved ones through
violence.
Hear our prayer and give us the perseverance to
be a voice for life and human dignity in our community.
We ask this through Christ our Lord. Our Lady
of Prompt Succor, hasten to help us.
Mother Henriette Delille, pray for us that we may be a holy
family.

PREVENTING THE SPREAD OF INFECTION School in now in session and
your child is in close contact with their peers (hugging, kissing,
swap-ping, pacifiers and bottles). Follow these tips in teaching
your children to protect themselves against the many infectious
diseases they may come in contact with: Wash hands: teach your
children to wash their hands with warm soap and water for 15-20
seconds before and after meals and after going to the bathroom. Use
hand sanitizers after handling classroom objects and toys (you are
asked to send hand sanitizer to school, make sure your child knows
to use it). Hand washing on is the #1 way to prevent the spread of
may infec-tions. Sneezing/coughing: Teach your children to cover
their mouth and nose with a tissue (throw the tissue away
immediately) or cough and sneeze into their sleeve. (Many infection
are air borne and are spread through coughing and sneezing).
Encourage your child to stray away from people who are sick. Keep
your child at home and away from other people when they are sick
(sending a sick child to school eposes others to viruses and
diseases, they are in a closed space in close contact with their
peers. Have a child care plan in the event your child becomes ill).
Remember to have your child immunized with the FLU vaccine.
