Celebrating Everyday Spirituality

September 15 – 24th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Today’s readings are quite insistent and very direct. We must give necessities like food, clothes, and shelter to those in need. In addition, we must deny ourselves and take up our cross; that is, we must lose our life if we want to be faithful disciples. Another way to say this is: Get behind our Leader Jesus, and follow Him.

Prayer: Guide all people to value the dignity of every human life and all aspects of creation.
