THIS WEEK’S GOSPEL
As Jesus was setting out on a journey, a man ran up,
knelt down before him, and asked him, “Good teacher,
what must I do to inherit eternal life?” Jesus answered him,
“Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone.
You know the commandments: You shall not kill; you shall
not commit adultery; you shall not steal; you shall not bear
false witness; you shall not defraud; honor your father and
your mother.” He replied and said to him, “Teacher, all of
these I have observed from my youth.” Jesus, looking at
him, loved him and said to him, “ You are lacking in one
thing. Go, sell what you have, and give to the poor and you
will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.” At
that statement his face fell, and he went away sad, for he
had many possessions.
Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How
hard it is for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of
God!” The disciples were amazed at his words. So Jesus
again said to them in reply, “Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel to pass
through the eye of a needle than for one who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.” They were exceedingly astonished and said among themselves, “Then who can be
saved?” Jesus looked at them and said, “For human beings it is impossible, but not for God. All things are possible for God.” Peter began to say to him, “We have given
up everything and followed you.” Jesus said, “Amen, I say
to you, there is no one who has given up house or brothers
or sisters or mother or father or children or lands for my
sake and for the sake of the gospel who will not receive a
hundred times more now in this present age: houses and
brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands,
with persecutions, and eternal life in the age to come.”
Mark 10:17-30
How much are you willing to
give up for the Lord?

of the community to participate in its annual fall Open
House on Sunday afternoon, October 18th, at 1:00 pm. We
welcome all prospective students and their families to experience educational excellence while also enjoying the

Jesus gives His people an achievable path to heaven.
First, we must simplify our lives. Second, having put our

about other people’s salvation besides our own with a special emphasis on the poor.

TERRY PIERCE

SANCTUARY LAMP
MONTH OF OCTOBER
IN MEMORY OF
TERRY PIERCE
BY FAMILY
The Gospel Acclamation for this the 28 th
Sunday in Ordinary Time is: “Blessed are the
poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of
heaven.” Does this mean that all of us have to
give up everything as was asked by the man
who had many possessions? Not for all, for
some yes, but for most of us it means to be satisfied with what we have, to use it wisely, and
to give to those who are less fortunate than
ourselves rather than always striving for more
riches—most of the things which often we do
not even use. So let us use what we do have
wisely for our good and for the good of all.
Remember, we do not always need the newest
and the best! Let us look around. Do we have
things, for instance, be it clothes or whatever,
that others could use or need more than we
do? Let’s find them new homes.
Sr. Lucie
JESUS CHRIST IS CALLING YOU!

journey with us on Monday evenings at St. Mary Church at
7:00 pm. If interested, please contact the office at 3321869 or just come.
