Sept 30- Oct 5: 27th Week - Daily Reflections
Sept 30 Monday (St. Jerome, priest, Doctor of the Church) https://www.franciscanmedia.org/saint-jerome/ :
Lk 9:46-50: 46 And an argument arose among them as to which of them
was the greatest. 47 But when Jesus perceived the thought of their hearts, he
took a child and put him by his side, 48 and said to them, “Whoever receives
this child in my name receives me, and whoever receives me receives him who
sent me; for he who is least among you all is the one who is great.” 49 John
answered, “Master, we saw a man casting out demons in your name, and we forbade
him, because he does not follow with us.” 50 But Jesus said to him, “Do not
forbid him; for he that is not against you is for you.” USCCB video

The context: Today’s Gospel describes Jesus’
criterion for greatness and his advice to be accepting of others who do good in
ways different from ours. He exhorts the spiritual leaders as well as all
believers in responsible positions in his Church to be like children, humble,
trusting and innocent.
Language of the European Union
The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was the other possibility.
As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5- year phase-in plan that would become known as "Euro-English".

Lk 8:16-18: 16 “No one after lighting a lamp covers it with a
vessel, or puts it under a bed, but puts it on a stand, that those who enter
may see the light. 17 For nothing is hid that shall not be made manifest, nor
anything secret that shall not be known and come to light. 18 Take heed then
how you hear; for to him who has will more be given, and from him who has not,
even what he thinks that he has will be taken away.”USCCB video

Phone Bill and The Maid
The phone bill was exceptionally high so the husband called a family meeting to discuss the issue.
Dad: This is unacceptable. I don't use the home phone, I use my work phone.
Mum: Me too. I hardly use our home phone. I use my company's phone.
Son: I always use my office mobile, I never touch the home phone.
All of them were shocked and together looked at the maid who was patiently listening to them.
Finally the Maid said, "What you all looking at me? So we all use our work phones. What's the big deal??

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.
