Today’s Readings - Eighteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Year C—No. 1032 in the Saint Augustine Hymnal

First Reading— Ecclesiastes 1:2, 2:21-23 Second Reading— Colossians 3:1-5, 9-11

Gospel—Luke 12:13-21

Eighteenth Sunday in Ordinary time Weekend of August 3/4

In today’s gospel, Jesus offers a warning to those who pursue

leisure and pleasure as their goal in life without concern for the

poor and less fortunate. He tells the parable of the wealthy land-

owner who, upon yielding an exceptionally profitable harvest

one year, determines that he will live the rest of his days in re-

laxation; to eat, drink and be merry. God calls the miser a “fool”

and lets him know that his greed and self-indulgence will not

bring him the security he seeks. Good stewards acknowledge

that the money and possessions entrusted to them are to be used

to further the mission of Jesus Christ. This week let us reflect on

our own daily consumption habits. Do we spend money on arti-

cles that make us better ambassadors of Christ? Does our per-

sonal lifestyle bring “good news to the poor” (Luke 4:18)?



Attention, all Catholic young men ages 15-19! Do you know where your life is going? The Lord Jesus has a great plan for you! You are invited to attend the First Annual Quo Vadis Days Camp to spend time with other young men your age looking at the Lord’s call in your life while having fun. QVDs is led by priests and seminarians of the Diocese and is supported by the Diocesan Office for Vocations. QVDs will be held from August 5th to the 7th at the Plains Baptist Campground in Blanco Canyon, Floydada, TX. The cost of the camp is $50.00 and $25.00 for a second mem-ber of the same family. If you are interested, please contact :

Fr. Ernesto Lopez at 806-798-3948 ext. 226 or [email protected]

You may also contact Deacon David Close at 806-788-1636 or [email protected]
