Twenty-fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time

FOCAL POINT:

“One hundred Masses will be celebrated for each deceased member or novice of the Congregation.” (Con. 74)

Deceased:

Cl. Kazimierz Szyberna, 1905, Mentorella, Italy

Birthday:

Fr. Wladyslaw Tarnowski, 1934, Poland

1. For our country, for civil rulers on the local and national levels.
2. The second reading for today’s Mass encourages that prayer be offered to God for all, and so we offer prayer today for all friends, family and benefactors, and for those we serve.
3. For peace in the world.

FURTHER REFLECTION:

“It is obvious that the vows are defined in strong and bold concepts which can be accepted only by a person who has recognized the inherent limits of their power and autonomy, and the dignity that is theirs when they share in the omnipotence and sovereignty of God.” (Eight Principles of Resurrectionist Spirituality, 58)
