LITURGY OF THE WORD


First Reading: Ezekiel 2: 2-51
Ezekiel the prophet will speak Gods word to the people
even if they refuse to listen
Psalm 122
Our eyes are on the Lord, till he show us his mercy
Second Reading: 2 Corinthians 12: 7-10
Paul boasts of his weakness, for God can still work
through him
Gospel Acclamation!
Alleluia, The Word was made flesh and lived among us;
to all who did accept him he gave power to become
children of God, Alleluia
Gospel: Mark 6: 1-6
Jesus, despite his wisdom, is rejected in his home town;
for that is how prophets are treated

The Sacraments
I once spoke to my friend, an old squirrel, about the
Sacraments he got so excited
and ran into a hollow in his tree and came
back holding some acorns, an owl feather,
and a ribbon he had found.
And I just smiled and said, "Yes, dear,
you understand:

St. Francis understood that the particular and the


ordinary were the gateway to Heaven, to union with
God. Everywhere he looked, he found the sacred.
Read the following poem - Daniel Ladinsky's
paraphrase of Francis' experience - slowly and
aloud several times. Memorize a phrase or even the
entire poem. Let its words, rhythm, and meaning
sink deeper within your body and being. Then go
out into your world and find ribbons of grace all
around.

everything imparts
His grace.
From a reflection by Richard Rohr
