Introduction (16 th Sunday Ordinary Time) A pleasant day to everyone!         Like Martha in today’s Gospel, we can be “anxious and upset about many things” when entertaining visitors. We can learn something from Mary. We can go out of our way to be attentive to our visitors. We can spend time to listen to their stories. They need to be listened to just as much as they need to be served food.         The same is true in our life of faith. What the Lord wants to us, first of all, is to be close to Him, to put our trust in Him amid life’s concerns.         To begin our celebration, let us all stand for the entrance hymn.

It is in being a neighbor that our faith is shown for what it really is, and not merely as some form of dogma. Prayers of the Faithful (15 th Sunday Ordinary Time) (Priest):                        Let us pray that we may learn t...

14 th  Sunday Ordinary Time Introduction A pleasant day to everyone!         Part of our daily duty as believers in Christ is to share the Good News with others.  In the Gospel the Lord appoints seventy-two (72) disciples to towns and villages that He intends to visit.  The task of preaching the Gospel is not confined to the twelve apostles.  It is a mission given to all of Jesus’ disciples.          We rejoice not so much in our success but in that, the Lord shares with us His saving work and that we have a sure reward with Him in heaven.         To begin with our Eucharistic celebration, please stand for the entrance hymn. Prayers of the Faithful (14 th Sunday Ordinary Time) (Priest):                     ...
