Thirtieth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Do you ever feel needy but are too confused or embarrassed to ask of help? Be like the
blind beggar in todays Gospel who was able to cry out for help from Jesus. In hiding
our weaknesses, we hide ourselves from God and others. We miss the chance to find
support, assistance, and healing.

Priesthood Sunday. It is a day set aside to celebrate the importance of the gift of
priesthood in the life of the Church. It is a time for us to reflect on the ministry that
our priests share with us when we gather at the Table of the Lord when we call in
our time of need. Consider sharing a personal note or card of thanks. Together we

our priests. May their hearts be open to hearing and responding to Gods call in
their lives. For more information on the priesthood, visit www.clepriesthood.com.
