THIRTIETH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME (Year A)

Exodus 22:20 – 26

This Sunday, we will hear from the Book of Exodus. Although it is just a small part of a long expansion of the Decalogue (cf. 20:1-17 and 21:1 – 23:33 and finally the mention of Moses writing down these laws in 24:4) the passage was clearly chosen to prepare us for the Gospel. It speaks in very practical terms what it means to love your neighbor as yourself. The passage we will hear on Sunday is a small section of the three chapters in the Book of […]

TWENTY-NINTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME (Year A)

OPENING PRAYER: Isaiah 24

Isaiah 45:1, 4 – 6

This Sunday, we will again hear from the Book of the Prophet Isaiah. Since it is from chapter 45, we know that it is from Deutero-Isaiah. We recall that Deutero-Isaiah prophesied 587 – 539BC, during the Babylonian exile. During this time, the political scene in the Ancient Near East changed dramatically as a result of the rise of Cyrus II (the Great). Until he came into power in 559BC, the great powers controlling the Ancient Near East were usually Semites, originally of the […]

TWENTY-EIGHTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME (Year A)

Isaiah 25:6-10a

This Sunday, we will again hear from the Book of the Prophet Isaiah. Since it is from chapter 25, it would be understandable if you were to conclude that it is from Isaiah himself. There is lively debate among scripture scholars, however, as to where this chapter – and, in fact, chapters 24 – 27 belong historically. Many argue that it was written in post-exilic times during the period of Persian dominance. They make this argument because this section which, in many Bibles, is given the title of the […]

TWENTY-FIFTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME (Year A)

Isaiah 55:6 – 9

This Sunday, we will hear from the Book of the Prophet Isaiah. Seeing that it is taken from chapter 55, we know that it is part of Deutero-Isaiah, dealing with Israel during its Babylonian exile. It is at the very end of the Babylonian captivity and we should read the opening verses of the chapter since they speak in anticipation of how the Persians would allow the exiles to return. The Book of Ezra opens with the decree of Cyrus that called the exiles to return to […]

TWENTY-FOURTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

Sirach 27:30 – 28:9

This Sunday, we will hear from the Book of Sirach, one of the very last books of the Old Testament. It was written between 200 and 175BC by a man who identifies himself as Jesus, son of Eleazar, son of Sira (cf. 50:27). Some of your Bibles identify the book as The Wisdom of Ben Sira. This is actually the earliest title of the book; the “ch” was added when the book was translated into Greek. It is an excellent example of Wisdom literature, filled with moral […]

Eucharistic Revival in Action at SKS

The National Eucharistic Revival, a three-year initiative, was created by the US Congress of Catholic Bishops to remind us of Jesus’ Real Presence in the Eucharist.

Year one focused on strengthening Eucharistic devotion through efforts by priests and bishops at individual dioceses. Year two began in June and brings the revival to the parish level for personal encounters with Christ during Mass, Adoration and special events. Year three starts in May 2024, and is dedicated to going out on mission to share the gifts of the Eucharist.
