Gospel: Luke 11: 1 – 13
He was praying in a certain place, and after he had finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples.” He said to them, “When you pray, say: Father, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come. Give us each day our daily bread. And forgive us our sins, for we ourselves forgive everyone indebted to us. And do not bring us to the time of trial.”
On July 16, members of staff at Archbishop’s House gathered together to celebrate the 45th anniversary of ordination of Archbishop Joseph Harris (July 14) and the 22ndanniversary of ordination of Auxiliary Bishop-elect Msgr Robert Llanos (June 23). We also congratulated Msgr Llanos on his appointment as Auxiliary Bishop in our Archdiocese. I share with you below an extract from my address to them at the gathering:
CCSJ urges you to walk with the 2 feet of Christian Service – works of mercy and works of social action.

GOSPEL: LUKE 10:38-42
Jesus entered a village where a woman whose name was Martha welcomed him.
She had a sister named Mary who sat beside the Lord at his feet listening to him speak. Martha, burdened with much serving, came to him and said, “Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me by myself to do the serving? Tell her to help me.” The Lord said to her in reply, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and worried about many things. There is need of only one thing. Mary has chosen the better part and it will not be taken from her.”
