Bulletin Shorts for the Twenty-Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Twenty-Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time – 27 September 2020

Ezekiel 18:25-28.  Psalm 25:4-5, 6-7, 8-9.  Philippians 2:1-11.  Matthew 21:28-32.

I Don’t Want To!  Sometimes we bristle at being told what to do.  We may say a yes or a no, then do something else.  The demands of Christian living are not easy.  But we look to Jesus for guidance, for encouragement, for example.  Reread Philippians all week.  It is a longer version of what we heard on Palm Sunday.  It urges us to be like Christ.

• What attitude-adjustment do I need to be more like Christ?
• What will I do to be more compassionate and merciful?
• What interest of another will be important to me this week?
