Bulletin

Old Testament Bible Study Starts Soon

| St. Charles Borromeo

Our Bible study group resumes in the fall on September 25. The focus will be an introduction to the Old Testament using the Panorama of the Old Testament study guide by Little Rock Scriptures Books. We’ll explore interwoven themes across the Old Testament, God’s plan for salvation, and encounter many familiar characters. The course provides a broad, introductory overview so it’s a great time to join in, especially if you haven’t had any prior exposure to Bible study.

We’ll meet on Sundays at 5 PM on Zoom over the course of eight weeks from September 25 through November 13. We’d ask you to read the week’s lesson and look over the questions in the text beforehand. We’ll use the questions as a guide to our weekly discussions.

Homilies

Homily – 16th Sunday Ordinary Time (Fr. Smith)

| St. Charles Borromeo

Last week, we read the parable of the Good Samaritan and saw the importance that Jesus places on practical charity. We might then find his meeting with Martha and Mary somewhat surprising. Martha is busy preparing for guests and Mary is sitting at Jesus’ feet listening to him speak. Martha asks Jesus to have Mary help her, but he not only refuses but tells her that she, Martha, is overly concerned about the wrong things and that she should join Mary.  

This is a set up. Jesus and Luke know that we are siding with Martha just as a few weeks ago we sided with the potential disciples who wished to bury a father or take leave of family before following Jesus. (Lk.9:51-61, 13th Sunday of Ordinary Time) The message is clear: when in the presence of Jesus, sit down and listen.
