Seventeenth Sunday in Ordinary Time – World Day for Prayer for Grandparents and the Elderly

FOCAL POINT:

“The Superior General … will foster the conviction that we are members of a single, loving Resurrection family and that we are, therefore, to be sensitive to the needs of members of the Congregation in other Provinces and Regions.” (Con. 102)

Deceased:

Br. Marcin Karpinski, 1934, Rome, Italy

1. For the Church, our Holy Father and for our local ordinary.
2. For all the members of our Congregation, but remembering especially our professed Brothers.
3. For couples and families who face difficulties in their relationships.
4. In thanksgiving for the great wisdom and love grandparents and the elderly offer the world.

FURTHER REFLECTION:

“The challenge for both Resurrectionists and Apostles is to live out the Mission and Charism of the Congregation of the Resurrection in our lives in a deeper way, in the hope of bringing about the resurrection of society and entering into our own personal Resurrection.” (Apostles of the Resurrection Handbook, 3 – 4)
