Dear Friends!
Old ideas die hard. Jesus had been telling his disciples for three years that he did not come to set up a worldly kingdom. But so deeply ingrained in the disciples was the idea of the king of leaders the Messiah would be, that they could not get it straight what kind of Messiah he would be. They were still trying to put him into the mold of Jewish expectation. It would be a physical, worldly, and powerful kingdom. James and John were not exceptions. But Jesus’ response to James and John’s request reveals that if they want to have real leadership in Christ’s Kingdom, they will have to live like him. They will be misunderstood, harassed and persecuted like him. They will come to great leadership only out of great service/suffering. Moreover, Jesus denial to what James and John asked for with the words, “to sit at my right hand or at my left is not mine to grant, but is for those for whom it has been prepared, “reveals that real leadership in Christ’s Kingdom is never given, it is earned in humble and in some cases dangerous serve.
~ Father Augustine
CONVOCATION OF PRIESTS
Fr. Augustine will be joining all priests of the Diocese of Scranton at the Convocation of Priests this coming week. Please pray for all our priests as they share this time of faith and fellowship.
WORLD MISSION SUNDAY COLLECTION—NEXT WEEKEND
World Mission Sunday, observed on October 20th this year, is not just another Sunday; it is a powerful reminder of our call to be missionaries. The collection taken up today is unique as it is mandated by the Code of Canon Law and is essential for the survival and growth of the Church in mission territories. These funds support the pastoral and evangelizing work of the Church, including building churches, providing healthcare and education, and training future priests and religious. In places where resources are scarce, your generosity makes a profound difference. It is also important to remember the legacy of missionary work. The Church in the United States was once mission territory, supported by the generosity of Catholics worldwide. Today, we continue this legacy by supporting the Pontifical Mission Societies, ensuring that the Gospel reaches the ends of the earth. Our contributions help build and sustain communities of faith in places where the Church is still growing or facing persecution. This mission is a testament to our faith in action, reflecting the universal call to share Christ's love. As we reflect on this year's theme, "Go and invite everyone to the banquet," ," let us remember that our participation and support help invite countless souls to the feast of God's love and let us recommit to supporting our global Church family.
