Our readings for 26rd Sunday of Ordinary Time are:
- Ezekiel 18:25-28
- Psalms 25:4-5, 6-7, 8-0
- Philippians 2: 1-11
- Matthew 21: 28-32
- My brother's keeper
- If death awaits the evil ones, and we see someone we know straying, how responsible are we to try and warn them?
- How do we do that without sounding sanctimonious, holier-than-thou, or worse, like some sort of weird cult?
- Would we appreciate it if someone close to us tried to steer us clear of wrong doing?
- Isn't there someone holier than I am who can do that sort of thing?
- Sure-fire successful prayer is easy
- Have you ever prayed for something really hard, and felt that God wasn't hearing you?
- Do you think that there are some prayers that God pays better attention to than others?
- What are the effects of prayer in our lives?
- Are all of those effects equally important?
- How does God decide which prayers to answer?
- Servant leadership
- Who are some great leaders that you have had in your life?
- What made them great?
- I daresay, your great leader did not do a lot to draw attention to themselves. Why is that?
- Would the same qualities of leadership apply within the Church?
- Walk the talk
- Do you have any sort of a process for hearing God's voice in your life?
- Do you have anyone that you can go to with tough decisions?
- Have you ever changed your mind about an invitation that God gave hou?
Preparation for Reconciliation:
- Do I love my brother/sister in God enough to accept correction from them?
- What do I know of God's character? Do I let that shape my prayer?
- How am I serving others?
- What moves me to change my mind? Is it God's prompting, or something else?
Shalom!
