HOLY FAMILY PARISH 27TH SUNDAY OF ORDINARY TIME
October 7, 2018
27th Sunday in Ordinary Time
By Peg Ekerdt
Introduction
The readings this Sunday call us to a renewed understanding of
the complementarity of married love. God created man and
woman as partners and equals who, at their best, will live
faithfully all their days. In marriage, couples bear witness to
God’s command to love one another and to form community.
Prayer of the Faithful
Let us pray for the needs of this gathered community and for
our world.
For the church, for all of us, for steadfast effort to build up the
community of faith with love and compassion, in good times
and in bad times, in joy and in sorrow, we pray:
For our country and our leaders; for journalists who tell the
stories and for public servants who seek the common good; for
resolve in the face of all odds to do what is right, we pray:
In thanksgiving for couples whose married love is both
generous and equal; for grace to continue to choose each day to
honor their promises made; for joy in the gift of intimacy and
companionship, we pray:
In this month set aside for respect of all life, for commitment
among us to protect the unborn, to welcome the immigrant, to
accompany the prisoner, to feed the hungry, to educate the
needy, we pray:
For those who experience the pain of divorce, and who grieve
the loss of hopes and dreams, for courage and for consolation,
we pray:
For all our beloved sick, for those who face addiction or
depression each day, for those who live with dementia or
mental illness, and for families and caregivers who love them,
we pray:
PRAYER: Loving God, we who were created in love and
created for love, often disappoint even ourselves in our failures
to be the people you intended. Hear our prayers this day and
renew us once again in our efforts to be the families you call us
to be — committed to one another and generous in our time
and talent. We ask this in the name of Jesus, your Son. Amen.
We pray…..
For those that are sick or recently in the hospital…

Lord,
We give thanks to you for our brave men and women in uniform.
We pray for your love to lead them and your wisdom to guide them each and every day.
Amen
Hail, Holy Queen
Hail, holy Queen, Mother of Mercy! Our life, our sweetness, and our hope!
To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve, to thee do we send
up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley, of tears. Turn, then,
most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us; and after this our exile show unto us the blessed fruit
of thy womb Jesus; O clement, O loving, O sweet virgin Mary.
Pray for us, O holy Mother of God That we may be made worthy
of the promises of Christ. Amen

HOLY FAMILY PARISH 27TH SUNDAY OF ORDINARY TIME
“ ...Quem não receber o Reino de Deus como uma criança, não entrará nele'”.
XXVII Dom TC (Ano B): – Gênesis 2,18-24; Salmo 128(127); Hebreus 2,9-11; Marcos 10,2-16 Jesus coloca a aliança matrimonial na perspectiva do plano original do Criador, recordando Gn 1,27 e 2,24. O homem e a mulher casados formam uma unidade pessoal inseparável. A legislação mosaica referente ao divórcio surgiu após o projeto inicial de Deus, por causa da dureza do coração. Conforme Dt 24,1, somente o homem podia dar o documento de divórcio, mas na legislação romana também a mulher tinha o direito de tomar tal iniciativa. Cristo, com sua palavra, propõe a transformação radical, que vai além das prescrições legais, sugerindo igual responsabilidade aos esposos. Jesus propõe voltar ao sonho divino, revelado desde o princípio da criação. Para participar da aliança amorosa com o Senhor, é necessário viver a confiança e a receptividade como as crianças. Por isso, Jesus afirma que é preciso receber o Reino de Deus como uma criança, para entrar nele (v.15). Assim, a atitude de Jesus, que abraça e abençoa as crianças, impondo-lhes as mãos (v.16), torna-se paradigma da disponibilidade do discípulo perante o Reino. A 1ª leitura sublinha que a criação do ser humano é obra gratuita do amor de Deus. Homem e mulher foram formados com a mesma natureza, e ao unir-se em matrimônio, constituem uma só carne para viverem na igualdade e comunhão. No salmo, a bênção de Deus se manifesta em cada dia da vida, na família, no trabalho ao longo das gerações. Na 2ª leitura, Cristo assume nossa condição humana até a morte para nos libertar e santificar, introduzindo-nos na glória. A fidelidade e doação total no matrimônio é sinal do amor de Deus. Fomos santificados com a vida, morte e ressurreição de Jesus para vivermos no amor, que cresce e se renova sempre. A confiança, igual à da criança, nos mantêm firmes no caminho do seu seguimento..
Oração
Ó Deus eterno e todo-poderoso, que nos concedeis no vosso imenso amor de Pai
mais do que merecemos e pedimos, derramai sobre nos a vossa misericordia, perdoando o que nos pesa na consciência e dando-nos mais do que ousamos pedir.
Por Cristo, nosso Senhor. Amém.

Meet Father Donohoe-“I am with you; wherever you are, wherever you go, I am with you.”Father Stephen Donohoe embraced a vocation to serve as a priest of the Archdiocese of Boston. As a young man, he felt the first signs of God’s presence in the Holy Eucharist; that force would become what he describes today as “the bedrock of his priesthood.”
After ordination, Father Donohoe became a military chaplain. During deployment, he provided for the spiritual needs of men and women facing combat. He never abandoned those entrusted to his care and stood by them at every point. Father Donohoe continues this steadfast ministry today in the parishes of the Archdiocese. He says “a great joy of ministry is to see the grace of God enlighten the lives of other people. If we bring people to the Lord, He’ll do everything.”
To help ensure priests like Father Donohoe are cared for as they live out their vocation, please support the special collection on September 15-16.
