CHRIST OUR LIGHT CATHOLIC CHURCH
Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston
Twenty-Ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time
"The Son of Man came to serve
and to give his life as a ransom for many."
CRISTO NUESTRA LUZ IGLESIA CATÓLICA
Archidiócesis de Galveston-Houston
XXVIIII Domingo Ordinario
"Jesucristo vino a servir
y a dar la vida por la salvación de todos."
Sunday Readings:
Isaiah 53:10–11 If he gives his life as an offering for sin, he shall see his descendants in a long life.
Psalm 33 “Lord, let your mercy be on us, as we place our trust in you.”
Hebrews 4:14–16 Let us confidently approach the throne of grace.
Mark 10:35–45 or 10:42–45 The Son of Man came to give his life a ransom for many.
Today’s readings, with their focus on Jesus’ ultimate sacrifice, recall the readings of Holy Week. Today’s passage from Isaiah is part of the longer passage we hear on Good Friday, describing the Suffering Servant, whose voluntary suffering atones for the sins of many. Today’s Gospel foreshadows Holy Thursday’s Gospel, with Jesus telling his disciples that he came to serve, not to be served. As the author of Hebrews says, let us look to Jesus for timely help.~ from Pastoral Patterns, fall 2021
Lecturas dominicales:
Isaías 53, 10–11; Salmo 32; Hebreos 4, 14–16; Marcos 10, 35–45 o 10, 42–45
Las lecturas de hoy con su enfoque en el sacrificio definitivo de Jesús nos recuerdan las lecturas de la Semana Santa. El pasaje de Isaías hoy es parte del pasaje más largo que escuchamos el Viernes Santo y que describe al Siervo sufriente, cuyo sufrimiento voluntario expía los pecados de muchos. El Evangelio de hoy augura el Evangelio del Jueves Santo cuando Jesús les dice a sus discípulos que él vino a servir y no a ser servido. Como dice el autor de la carta a los hebreos, acudamos a Jesús para obtener ayuda en el momento oportuno. ~de las publicaciones de WLP Gia, Pastoral Patterns

As Catholics, we are called to cherish, defend, and protect those who are most vulnerable, from the beginning of life to its end, and at every point in between. During the month of October, the Church asks us to reflect more deeply on the dignity of every human life.
Join us for a Public Square Rosary
Where: St. Stanislaus Kostka Catholic Church (Outside in front of the church)
When: Saturday, October 16, 2021, at noon
"The world is at a crossroads. God is more offended than ever as people ignore Our Lady's maternal request to "stop offending God." Yes, we must listen to Our Lady's request and stop sinning if we hope to enjoy God's blessings and to avert His wrath. He will hear us if we pray through the intercession of His Blessed Mother. In The Secret of the Rosary, Saint Louis Marie Grignon de Montfort said: "Public prayer is far more powerful than private prayer to appease the anger of God and call down His mercy, and Holy Mother Church, guided by the Holy Spirit, has always advocated public prayer in times of public tragedy and suffering."
If you are unable to join us. I encourage you to pray a rosary this week for Respect Life Month or Pray for the Conversion of our country.

Únase a nosotros para un rosario en la plaza pública
Dónde: Iglesia católica St. Stanislaus Kostka (afuera, frente a la iglesia)
Cuándo: sábado 16 de octubre de 2021, al mediodía
"El mundo está en una encrucijada. Dios está más ofendido que nunca porque la gente ignora la petición maternal de Nuestra Señora de" dejar de ofender a Dios ". Sí, debemos escuchar la petición de Nuestra Señora y dejar de pecar si esperamos disfrutar de las bendiciones de Dios y evitar Su ira. Él nos escuchará si rezamos por intercesión de Su Santísima Madre. En El Secreto del Rosario, San Luis María Grignon de Montfort dijo: "La oración pública es mucho más poderosa que la oración privada para apaciguar la ira de Dios y invoca Su misericordia, y la Santa Madre Iglesia, guiada por el Espíritu Santo, siempre ha abogado por la oración pública en tiempos de tragedia y sufrimiento públicos."
