Twenty-Third Sunday in Ordinary Time, Cycle C

Sunday, September 4, 2022

Luke 14:25–33.

In next Sunday’s Gospel, Jesus tells us, his followers, what our most important priority in life should be. Jesus tells us our number-one priority is to follow him. Jesus wants us to know that by following him, we will find happiness. At the same time, he wants us to know that following him is not always easy. We're lucky that Jesus is so honest with us about what it takes to follow him. What are some ways that we can show that God is our number-one priority?

FATHER’S DAY PRAYER

God, our Father,

We give you thanks and praise

for fathers young and old.

We pray for young fathers,

newly embracing their vocation:

may they find courage and perseverance

to balance work, family and faith

in joy and sacrifice.

We pray for fathers around the world

Whose children are lost or suffering:

may they know that the God of compassion

walks with them in their sorrow.

We pray for men who are not fathers

but still mentor and guide us with

fatherly love and advice.

We remember fathers, grandfathers
