The power of prayer

Sunday, 17th October 2010

29th Sunday in Ordinary Time

First Reading : Ex 17:8-13.
Moses learns through one hard day’s experience the need for unremitting prayer in the spread of God’s kingdom. “Our help is in the name of the Lord.”

Second Reading : 2 Tim 3:14 – 4:2.
“The man who is dedicated to God becomes fully equipped and ready for any good work,” through reading and interpreting the scriptures, in the light of apostolic tradition.

Gospel : Lk 18:1-8.
If the unjust judge of the parable can be expected to deliver justice for an obdurate, pestering widow, God will surely “see justice done to his chosen who cry to him day and night.”

MISSION SUNDAY - 24TH OCTOBER 2010

Theme : Together in Mission

Mission Sunday comes only once a year. Once this special day we are given the opportunity to express our unity with and support to Christian communities everywhere. World Mission Ireland provides spiritual and practical assistance to the Church’s mission worldwide. “Together in Mission” we can all play an active role in helping over 1,096 dioceses and communities globally. This is the Church in action - communities supporting communities. Support is needed by prayer as well as financially. On Mission Sunday 24th October please pray for the universal missions of the Church and give as generously as you can to the Mission Sunday Collection. Every cent of the money donated to this collection goes into a universal fund and is distributed to the missions most in need. All aid is greatly appreciated by communities less fortunate than ourselves and “Together in Mission” may we continue to spread the good news in God’s name
