WELCOME TO ST AGNES ECCLESTON
Alleluia, alleluia. I am the way, and the truth, and the life, says the Lord. No one comes to the Father except through me. Alleluia.
MASS TIMES THIS WEEK
SUNDAY 24th AUGUST
Twenty-First Sunday in Ordinary Time
Perhaps the most horrifying scenario imaginable is to stand outside knocking on a locked door only to hear the Lord respond, “I do not know where you come from.” Through the mouth of the Prophet Isaiah, the Lord assures us: “the time is coming to gather all nations and tongues”. In order to join God’s gathering, we must “strive to enter through the narrow door”—which does not mean our own unaided efforts, but saying yes to the relationship Christ wants to have with us. The Letter to the Hebrews says that God “addresses you as sons”. When we change and conform our life to our calling to be God’s children, then those who are last will be first. We will recline with them at table in the kingdom of God.
INTENTIONS
For mutual coexistence
Let us pray that societies where coexistence seems more difficult might not succumb to the temptation of confrontation for ethnic, political, religious, or ideological reasons.
+
For formation in discernment
Let us pray that we might again learn how to discern, to know how to choose paths of life, and reject everything that leads us away from Christ and the Gospel.
