Twenty-Third Sunday in Ordinary Times
​Today’s readings remind us that love is not merely a feeling but a responsibility. In the Gospel, Jesus teaches the difficult but essential work of reconciliation — approaching one another with honesty, humility, and a desire for healing. True Christian love seeks the good of the other, even when conversations are uncomfortable or challenging.
​
St. Paul tells us that love is the fulfillment of the law. When we choose compassion over resentment, forgiveness over pride, and truth over silence, we build the kind of community Christ desires — one rooted in mercy and strengthened by unity.
​
This week, may we ask God for the courage to mend what is broken, to speak with kindness, and to listen with open hearts. Christ stands with us in every effort toward peace.
​
Lord, teach us to love as You love — patiently, truthfully, and without fear.
Prayer for August
​
Lord God, As we enter the month of August, we pause to recognize Your steady presence in every season. The summer sun reminds us of Your light that never fades, Your warmth that comforts, and Your grace that renews our spirits.
​
Bless our parish family in this time of rest, travel, and gathering. Keep us safe in our comings and goings, mindful of Your guidance in all we do. Open our hearts to the quiet ways You speak — in still mornings, in shared meals, in acts of kindness, and in moments of reflection.
Strengthen those who feel weary, uplift those seeking direction, and inspire all of us to grow in faith, hope, and love. As we prepare for the months ahead, help us carry Your peace into our homes, our work, and our community.
​
May August be a month of gratitude, renewal, and deeper trust in Your plan. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
