Twenty Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time.

Week beginning Sunday, 27 September
seeing your life through the lens of the gospels
Mark 9:38-39, 45, 47-48
Questions people ask
Q. My son says he is an agnostic. Is this the same as an atheist?
A. An atheist holds that there is no God, no divine being. An agnostic accepts the existence of God but holds that God cannot be properly known by the human mind and that we cannot have any true relationship with the divine being. It has been said, rather unfairly I feel, that an agnostic is someone who hasn’t the commitment to be a believer nor the courage to be an atheist.

The Deep End
PS: I Thank You!
I came across a prayer some time ago that caught my attention. Can’t remember where, but here’s the prayer: Dear God, we rejoice and give thanks for earthworms, bees, ladybirds and broody hens; for humans tending their gardens, talking to animals, cleaning their homes and singing to themselves; for the rising of the sap, the fragrance of growth, the invention of the wheelbarrow and the existence of the teapot, we give thanks. We celebrate and give thanks. Amen.
In light of today’s readings (Num 11:25-29; Mark 9:38-43, 45, 47-48) that prayer makes me ask how often I give thanks to God for the fine things that others do – especially if they seem to be muscling in on my turf. Jealousy is often quicker off the mark than generosity. But not always.
In today’s readings Moses and Jesus wish that everyone be filled with God’s Spirit. The more that Spirit is active in our world the better. It doesn’t matter through whom the Spirit works. Criticising someone for doing good is like telling the Holy Spirit whom he may work with. Now that would be arrogant.
In 1 Cor 13:4 Paul writes: ‘… love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude’. If we love it will not be as an afterthought, as a PS: I love you. If we are happy to acknowledge God’s freedom to do as he wishes and choose whom he will for his purpose then neither will our thanks be a mere afterthought, a PS: I thank you!

Mark 9:38-43,45,47-48 • Temptation
Bella: Hi all, Cian is visiting his Granny today, she is feeling much better, so I am going to tell you about the Gospel this Sunday. The Gospel is called ‘Temptation’ because that is what it is about. Jesus asks us not to allow ourselves to be led by others or even ourselves to hurt or offend. When we act on a temptation we hurt others, ourselves and God. Always think about an action if you feel it is not going to be the right thing to do as the build up of wrong actions are not the only thing you have to worry about. It is also necessary to think about the person you are becoming by doing wrong. Jesus asks us to show love in our lives; that is only about doing good and being an amazing person. Try it!
Think about how today’s Gospel story makes you feel. Be proud of yourself when you resist temptation, you are showing God’s love.

COPYRIGHT: REDEMPTORIST PUBLICATIONS.

Saint of the Week, Saint Matthew.

Matthew was a Jew who worked for the occupying Roman forces, collecting taxes from other Jews. The Romans were not scrupulous about what the "taxfarmers" got for themselves. Hence the latter, known as "publicans," were generally hated as traitors by their fellow Jews. The Pharisees lumped them with "sinners" (see Matthew 9:11-13). So it was shocking to them to hear Jesus call such a man to be one of his intimate followers.

Matthew got Jesus in further trouble by having a sort of going-away party at his house. The Gospel tells us that "many" tax collectors and "those known as sinners" came to the dinner. The Pharisees were still more badly shocked. What business did the supposedly great teacher have associating with such immoral people? Jesus' answer was, "Those who are well do not need a physician, but the sick do. Go and learn the meaning of the words, 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice.' I did not come to call the righteous but sinners" (Matthew 9:12b-13). Jesus is not setting aside ritual and worship; he is saying that loving others is even more important.

No other particular incidents about Matthew are found in the New Testament.

NUI Galway Chaplaincy and Habitat for Humanity.

The Chaplaincy here in NUI, Galway is hoping to organize another house-building project in the third world during the summer of 2010. It is hoped to travel with thirty students to Bangladesh in association with Habitat for Humanity, Ireland. This follows on previous journeys to Ghana, Zambia and Honduras over the past three years.

To begin the fund raising this year, my colleague, Fr. Iomar Daniels, will run the Marathon in Toronto on Sunday, 27^th September. On his behalf I am asking you for some financial support and sponsorship. All donations will go directly to Habitat for Humanity as Iomar is paying his own expenses for the trip to Canada.

The Bangladeshi project will require almost €100, 000 to be raised. The website www.habitatbangladesh.org gives some insight to what will be involved. It is a testament to the enthusiasm and vitality of our students that the chaplaincy has absolute confidence that they will succeed in this task and will represent Ireland and themselves well when abroad next June.

If you do wish to support this venture, cheques should be made payable to Habitat for Humanity and sent to Chaplaincy, NUI, Galway.

With good wishes as always,

Diarmuid
