Gospel Acclamation ........................................................................................ Alleluia | #208 ..............................................................(Sun. 5 pm) from Mass of Creation | Marty Haugen
Psalm Response: Ps 54 This individual lament calls on God’s help in a time of persecution. Reading II: James 3:16-4:3 God’s presence is revealed in the behavior of the community. Where God is, there are peace, mercy, and good fruits. Our primary call is as children of God, living by God’s wisdom. Gospel: Mark 9:30-37 On the journey, Jesus repeats the “messianic secret”— that the Son of Man is to be killed but will rise on the third day. The way of life to be inaugurated by this death and resurrection is not one of competing privilege but one that embraces humble service in Christ’s name. Communion Antiphon You have laid down your precepts to be carefully kept; may my ways be firm in keeping your statutes. (Ps 119: 4-5)

STEWARDSHIP Today’s second reading warns that a heart consumed with avarice and envy leads to jealousy, strife, conflicts, and disputes. A giving heart, in contrast, can sing instead with the psalmist, “Freely will I offer you sacrifice; I will praise your name, O Lord, for its goodness.” (Ps 54) PARISH SUPPORT FOR SEPTEMBER 16, 2018 (* not including Faith Direct) * Offertory $9,411.00 * September 17, 2017 $9,384.00 Attendance 1280 September 17, 2017 1423 FAITH DIRECT FOR SEPTEMBER 2018 Offertory (5 Sundays) $47,820.00 September 2017 (4 Sundays) $41,181.00 POOR BOX The Poor Box next weekend, September 29/30, will benefit St. Martin’s Cloak.
