    By choosing the twelve, introducing them into a communion of life with him and making them sharers in the same mission of announcing the Kingdom with words and deeds (cf. Mark 6:7-13; Matthew 10:5-8; Luke 9:1-6; 6:13), Jesus wants to say that the definitive time has arrived; the time for rebuilding God's people, the people of the 12 tribes, which is now converted into a universal people, his Church. -Pope Benedict XVI

    Next Sunday is the Fifteenth (15th) Sunday in Ordinary Time

    Jesus first prepared the Twelve first disciples to be fishers of men, then He set them apart to be with Him and to receive authority to preach and expel demons. Next, during the time of their formation, the Twelve are given a distinct mission to exercise that authority in word and power as Jesus' representatives.

    They anointed with oil man that were sick and healed them

    • Trust In Jesus June 21, 2009
      Twelfth Sunday in Ordinary Time. It seems like in today's readings that during the storm, the others are asking Jesus "Come on, Jesus! Why aren't you helping us? Don't you care about us?" Doesn't it seem like we ask Jesus the same things during our personal storms? Jesus reassures them and us to remember to have faith and trust […]

Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Posted by Bob Kenward on July 5, 2009

Prepare for Mass
anointing%20of%20the%20sick
July 12, 2009 – (7/12/2009)
So they went off and preached repentance. The Twelve drove out many demons, and they anointed with oil many who were sick and cured them.

Am 7:12-15
Ps 85:9-10, 11-12, 13-14
Eph 1:3-14 or Eph 1:3-10
Mk 6:7-13

Jesus chose twelve representing the tribes of Israel. The twelve and the other disciples share in Christ’s mission and his power, but also in his lot. By all his actions, Christ prepares and builds his Church.

Sunday July 12 2009 is the Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time Year B

Healing the sick

Amos was a shepherd called by God to prophesy to the people Israel.

Sacrament of the Sick

Poverty and service

Compassion and healing

And they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many that were sick and healed them.

The Church believes and confesses that among the seven sacraments there is one especially intended to strengthen those who are being tried by illness, the Anointing of the Sick:
This sacred anointing of the sick was instituted by Christ our Lord as a true and proper sacrament of the New Testament. It is alluded to indeed by Mark, but is recommended to the faithful and promulgated by James the apostle and brother of the Lord.

Amen
Lord, let us see your kindness, and grant us your salvation. AMEN

You are being called to something big.

In whatever you do in life, dedicate yourself to the work of Christ.

GOD BLESS YOU

Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Posted by Bob Kenward on June 27, 2009

Prepare for Mass

nazareth
Thus says the LORD GOD!

And whether they heed or resist—for they are a rebellious house—they shall know that a prophet has been among them.

Jesus began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were astonished. They said, “Where did this man get all this?”

Ez 2:2-5
Ps 123:1-2, 2, 3-4
2 Cor 12:7-10
Mk 6:1-6

Is he not the carpenter’s son?

Sunday July 5 2009 is the Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time Year B

He was REJECTED in his OWN NATIVE place

Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his native place”

So he was not able to perform any mighty deed there, apart from curing a few sick people

He was AMAZED at their

LACK of Faith.

 

COUNTER PRIDE AND DISOBEDIENCE WITH HUMILITY

Amen

DOUBLE UP

Oh Lord Increase Our FAITH IN YOU

AMEN

OPEN THE EYES OF MY HEART LORD

GOD BLESS YOU

HOLY HOLY HOLY
