All are welcome!
Again this week we hear of our responsibility to the
poor in terms of how we steward our wealth. If you
do not think you are wealthy just consider for a
moment that more than 3 ½ billion people in this
world live on less than $60 a month. Canada is a
wealthy nation and millions around the world are
simply getting the crumbs from our table – Canada
currently gives just less than half of 1% of GDP in
foreign aid. (Source: OECD, The World Bank, Development
Assistance Committee) Please pray that our political
leaders will be motivated to make a greater
commitment to authentic generosity.

26th Sunday in Ordinary Time
26e dimanche du temps ordinaire
September 29, 2013
26th Sunday in Ordinary Time:
Like the
rich man, many of us have opportunities for good works
right outside our door. And, also
like the rich man, we can ignore
their very presence. As Christians,
we are called to be good stewards
of God’s gifts to us. We are not to
overlook those less fortunate, but
rather, we are to welcome and care
for all God’s children.
26e dimanche du temps ordinaire:
À ceux
et celles qui s’ouvrent à sa parole, Dieu donne l’audace de la
foi qui pousse au souci des pauvres en tous genres, à la
compassion et au partage. À nous d’accueillir cette parole et
d’en vivre dès aujourd’hui afin de produire des semences
d’éternité.
Next Sunday’s
readings are:
Habakkuk 1:2-3; 2:2-4
2 Timothy 1:6-8, 13-14
Luke 17:5-10
Les lectures pour
dimanche prochain:
Habacuc 1, 2-3; 2, 2-4
