He said to them in reply, "What did Moses command you?" They replied, “Moses permitted a husband to write a bill of divorce and dismiss her." But Jesus told them, "Because of the hardness of your hearts he wrote you this commandment. But from the beginning of cre-ation, God made them male and female." - Mk 10:3-6

THIS WEEK’S GOSPEL The Pharisees approached Jesus and asked, “Is it law-ful for a husband to divorce his wife?” They were testing him. He said to them in reply, “What did Moses command you?” They replied, “Moses permitted a husband to write a bill of divorce and dismiss her.” But Jesus told them, “Because of the hardness of your hearts he wrote you this commandment. But from the beginning of creation, God made them male and female. For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. So they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, no human being must separate.” In the house the disciples again questioned Jesus about this. He said to them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her; and if she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery.” And people were bringing children to him that he might touch them, but the disciples rebuked them. When Jesus saw this he became indignant and said to them, “Let the children come to me; do not prevent them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Amen, I say to you, who-ever does not accept the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it.” Then he embraced them and blessed them, placing his hands on them. Mark 10:2-16
Children love Jesus. Children love to hear about Jesus.
THE PASTOR’S PONDERANCES
Jesus makes it crystal clear how marriage is designed and is supposed to work. Marriage, an institution within itself, is unmistakably expressed as “one time around,” to-tal faithful commitment of a man and a woman that bears fruit through the bearing of children. God is great!!! Fr. Daniel

SR. LUCIE SAYS
How wonderful as we unite ourselves with
the Holy Father Pope Francis and for the thou-
sands who participated in the Synod of the
Family. The Gospel of Mark points out “from
the beginning of creation, God made them
male and female . For this reason a man shall
leave his father and mother and be joined to
his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.”
The speaker for the opening address of the
Synod was Bishop Robert Barron, whom some
of us are acquainted with through Bible
Study. He urged us all to be like Jesus—priest,
prophet and king. All who are baptized in
Christ share in the three-fold office as priest,
prophet and king. Priest—to praise and to for-
give. Prophet—to proclaim God’s truth and to
evangelize. King—to govern ourselves, our
family and the community according to God’s
will.
