Comments on Mass Readings:
A reading from the book of Numbers:
God speaks through his prophets – He chooses who will speak His word and He chooses even the unexpected.
A reading from the letter of St. James:
Earthly wealth is transitory, you have a duty of care for others, not just for yourselves.
A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Mark:
God chooses who He wants to be His ministers of word – Good words and actions
belong to all people – Anyone who does good in the name of Christ does God’s will. Beware those who would lead others astray. Evil doers will receive condemnation.
We welcome Fathers Anthony and Jude who will be covering for Fr. Callistus while he is away.
Thank you, dear Father’s.
