In today’s Gospel lesson Jesus spoke bluntly about our relationship with wealth, “You cannot serve God and wealth.” (Luke 16:13). To put that statement into context, read the whole Gospel lesson (see the link above) and the First and Second readings that go with it.
Who do you serve?
Go in Peace. Serve the Lord.
Thanks be to God!

This week’s lessons resonate with meaning in light of events this past week.
In St. Paul’s letter to Timothy, he writes “I am grateful to Christ Jesus, our Lord, who has strengthened me, because he judged me faithful and appointed me to his service, even though I was formerly a blasphemer, a persecutor, a man of violence. But I received mercy because I had acted ignorantly and in unbelief, and the grace of our Lord overflowed for me with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.” 1 Timothy 1:12-14.
And Jesus said, “Just so, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of angels of God over one sinner who repents.” Luke 15:10.
Go in Peace. Serve the Lord.
Thanks be to God!

In this week’s second reading we hear, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday today and forever.” (Heb 13:8).
The same Jesus who was born in Bethlehem and lived among us. The same Jesus who died on a cross for our sins. The same Jesus who declared his unconditional love for each of us.
Go in Peace. Serve the Lord.
Thanks be to God!

With classes resuming this past week in local schools, we offer a prayer for all students.
A SHORT BACK-TO-SCHOOL PRAYER FOR PARENTS AND GRANDPARENTS
Loving God,
As our children prepare for a new school year, we place them in your care.
Calm their worries, spark their curiosity, and surround them with kindness and safety.
Guide their teachers and friends and help us support them with love and prayer.
Go with them, Lord—before them, beside them, and within them.
In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Go in Peace. Serve the Lord.
Thanks be to God!

In today’s Gospel lesson, Jesus warns us, “Take care! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of possessions.” (Luke 12:15)
We are bombarded with stories and messages and ads telling us that we can buy beauty, power, happiness. Even get it delivered straight to our doorstep.
Basically, that greed is good.
So why are so many still unhappy? Why is it never enough?
“One’s life does not consist in the abundance of possessions.” Wise words. Still true today.
Go in Peace. Serve the Lord.
Thanks be to God!

This week’s Gospel reading is jam packed with great news. Not only does Jesus teach his disciples, and us, how to pray (Luke 11:2-4), but he tells us “Ask, and it will be given you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you.” (Luke 11:9).
What are you asking for? What do you search for? What door are you trying to open?
Go in Peace. Serve the Lord.
Thanks be to God!
