Scripture Corner:
TWENTIETH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
First Reading: Jeremiah 38:4-6, 8-10 Jeremiah urged the people of Jerusalem to surrender to the enemy. This angered the princes, who then requested that Jeremiah be put to death. The king allowed the princes to leave him in a cistern without food or water. But after Ebed Melech pleaded for Jeremiah's life, the king decided to free him.
Second Reading: Hebrews 12:1-4 This letter to the Hebrews inspires all Christians to persevere, in spite of the trials they may face. Jesus endured much suffering and was rewarded by God. Despite our struggles, we must remember Jesus' ability to endure and maintain strong faith in him.
Gospel: Luke 12:49-53 Jesus tells his disciples that his message will not bring peace to the earth. Instead, even families will become sharply divided because some members will embrace him, while others condemn him.
Proper Dress in Church During the Summer In Matthew’s Gospel (22:1-14), Christ tells the Apos-tles the parable of the king, who hosted a wedding feast. When the king came to meet his guests, he found one who was not dressed properly, that is, he was not wearing a wedding garment. The king had the man removed from the feast because, as he said, “Many are called but few are chosen.” Each week we are invited to a great feast by a King. He is not an earthly King, but rather, the King of the Universe, the King of Time and Eternity—God Him-self. The feast is not an earthly feast of any sort—it is the Eucharist, the center of our Catholic faith. Yet many attend this greatest of feasts before our King in shorts, tee shirts, cut offs, flip flops, etc. Would we dress this way for a dinner with the President? For one hour each week let us dress with the respect due our King and his feast. Thank you for all that you do,
Fr. Duff
