Sept 16-21: 24th Week - Reflections
Sept 16 Monday (St. Cornelius, Pope and St. Cyprian
Bishop, martyrs= https://www.franciscanmedia.org/saint-cornelius/ ):
Lk 7:1-10: 1 After he had ended all his sayings in the hearing of
the people, he entered Capernaum. 2 Now a centurion had a slave who was dear to
him, who was sick and at the point of death. 3 When he heard of Jesus, he sent
to him elders of the Jews, asking him to come and heal his slave. 4 And when
they came to Jesus, they besought him earnestly, saying, “He is worthy to have
you do this for him, 5 for he loves our nation, and he built us our
synagogue.”6 And Jesus went with them. When he was not far from the house, the
centurion sent friends to him, saying to him, “Lord, do not trouble yourself,
for I am not worthy to have you come under my roof; 7 therefore I did not
presume to come to you.

Story of the Old Man and Son
A frail old man went to live with his son, daughter-in-law, and a four-year old grandson. The family ate at the dinner table but the elderly grandfather’s shaky hands and failing sight made eating rather difficult. The son and daughter-in-law became irritated with the mess. So the husband and wife set a small table in the corner.

Gospel reading: Luke 15:1-32 (Full Form)
General Textual Comments
Verses 1 to 3 give us an overall picture of the kind of person Jesus was – and thus an image of God.
We follow that path in our meditation: we recognise and celebrate human beings who were images of Jesus for us, and allow them to reveal God to us.
Sept 9-14: 23rd Week - Odd Year: Weekday Reflections
Sept 9 Monday (St. Peter Claver (U.S.A.): Lk
6:6-11: 6 On another Sabbath, when he entered the synagogue
and taught, a man was there whose right hand was withered. 7 And the scribes
and the Pharisees watched him, to see whether he would heal on the Sabbath, so
that they might find an accusation against him. 8 But he knew their thoughts,
and he said to the man who had the withered hand, “Come and stand here.” And he
rose and stood there. 9 And Jesus said to them, “I ask you, is it lawful on the
Sabbath to do good or to do harm, to save life or to destroy it?” 10 And he
looked around on them all, and said to him, “Stretch out your hand.” And he did
so, and his hand was restored. 11 But they were filled with fury and discussed
with one another what they might do to Jesus.
