Catholic Commission for Social Justice
CCSJ embarked on a Project to take photographs of the interior and exterior of all Catholic Churches and some Chapels in our Archdiocese. One of our goals is to remind Catholics that our Churches and Chapels are sacred spaces. We used the photographs as a backdrop against which members of staff at The Chancery were taped while they prayed the Divine Mercy Rosary.
Father in heaven, your servant, Pope Benedict XVI has asked the faithful during this lenten season to show concern for each other – “from every point of view: physical, moral, and spiritual”. He urges us “not to remain silent before evil.” Grant us your grace to do as the Holy Father says, and “renew our journey of faith” during lent – “both as individuals and as a community, with the help of the word of God and the sacraments.”
28th Sunday in Ordinary Time (B)
Gospel
Mk 10:17-30 or 10:17-27
As Jesus was setting out on a journey, a man ran up, knelt down before him, and asked him, “Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life? Jesus answered him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone. You know the commandments: You shall not kill; you shall not commit adultery; you shall not steal; you shall not bear false witness; you shall not defraud; honor your father and your mother.”
