26th Sunday in Ordinary Time


Let God be God, Turn from Sin and Love God!

Join Dina Marie Hale on this weekly broadcast as she reflects upon the readings for the Sunday Mass.  On the 26th Sunday in Ordinary Time we read from the Letter of Saint James who warns us to beware of selfishness, it can lead to our destruction.  From the reading in Numbers and the Gospel of Mark we are reminded that jealousy of others leads us to sin. God is not restricted in how he works in our lives or in the lives of those around us.  Let God be God, turn from sin and embrace God’s Love.  Join us for this reflection with Dina Marie.

Info on the Novena to St Therese mentioned:

“As we prepare to meet for our annual Priest Convocation, it has become evident to me through prayer that St. Therese of Lisieux is interceding for us in our work with the priests and bishops in our Archdiocese. Therefore, I ask and urge each of you, to please join me in fervent prayer.  Let’s storm heaven in prayer together each day, for 9 days, in furthering the powerful work the Holy Spirit has already begun here until we celebrate the feast day of St. Therese of Lisieux on October 1.”  —Archbishop Alexander K. Sample
