ENTRANCE ANTIPHON: Turn Your ear, O Lord, and answer

me; save the servant who trusts in You, my God. Have mercy

on me, O Lord, for I cry to You all the day long

RESPONSORIAL PSALM:

Go out to all the world and tell the Good News.

1. O praise the Lord, all you nations, acclaim Him all you

peoples!

2. Strong is His love for us; He is faithful for ever.

GOSPEL ACCLAMATION: Alleluia, alleluia! I am the way,

the truth, and the life, says the Lord; no one comes to the

Father, except through me. Alleluia!

COMMUNION ANTIPHON: The earth is

replete with the fruits of Your work, O Lord;

You bring forth bread from the earth and

wine to cheer the heart.

READINGS FOR NEXT SUNDAY: 22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year C): Sirach 3:17-20, 28-29; Hebrews 12:18-19, 22-24; Luke 14:1, 7-14.

TO LIVE IS TO MOVE: “Through towns and villages Jesus went teaching.” Jesus doesn't

just sit in one place and wait for people to come and listen to His teaching: He Himself is moving

forward in obedience to His destiny; those who want to hear Him must travel with Him, and for

us that means being willing to move, to be changed, to learn new things.

We can never say of the Gospel, “I've got it.” If you say that, you haven't got it. We dare not be

stuck in complacency; nor need we be stuck in self-despising; neither of those attitudes helps us

to hear the Gospel.

The whole Bible is about movement - away from Egypt, to the Promised Land; away into exile,

back to the Promised Land. To live is to move - away from our smaller world into God's bigger

world. God may possess us; we don't possess God.

We can gain admission to the heavenly banquet on one condition: if we are hungry to be there.

Jesus scandalised the well brought-up by showing that God welcomes the badly brought-up too;

each has the same way into the heavenly feast: hunger.

Excerpts from a homily by Fr. Colin Carr OP

How does Mary Cooperate in the Divine Plan of Salvation? By the grace of God Mary was

kept free from every personal sin her whole life long. She is the one who is “full of grace” (Luke

1:28), “the all holy”. When the angel announced to her that she would give birth to “the Son of the

Most High” (Luke 1:32), she freely gave herself entirely to the person and work of her Son Jesus,

espousing wholeheartedly the divine will regarding salvation. Compendium of the Catechism of

the Catholic Church, n.97 From Catholic Enquiry Centre http://www.catholicenquiry.com

QUOTE: The Church is a love story, not an institution. Pope Francis.

OF PRAYER

This week we pray for the community of

St. Christopher’s Catholic Church.

A VOCATION VIEW: Whom the Lord loves, He disciplines. The best way to lead others through the narrow gate is to be formed and disciplined as a leader. Then you can go through the narrow gate, yourself.
