Twenty-first Sunday in Ordinary Time


I think the Collect is worth praying over for this Sunday:

"O God, who cause the minds of the faithful to unite in a single prupose, grant your people to love what you command and to desire what you promise, that, amid the uncertainties of this world, our hearts may be fixed on that place where true gladness is found."

The first reading is from the Book of Joshua 24 and the people tell him that they will serve the Lord for he is our God.

The Responsorial Psalm is "Taste and see the goodness of the Lord" with verses from Ps 34 and worth praying over to feel joy.

The second reading is from the Letter of St. Paul to the Ephesians 5:21-32

The Gospel is John 6:60-69
 Many were leaving Jesus and so He asks the Twelve: "Do you also want to leave?" Simon Peter answered him, "Master, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. We have come to believe and are convinced that you are the Holy One of God."

Let us pray for our world so in need of prayer.
