Unfortunately a little rushed this week, but here you go…

Twenty-Third Sunday in Ordinary Time

The readings this week concern themselves with the tricky subject of relationships and, in particular, relationships between Christians. The passages address the question of how sin and disputes are to be handled in the Church.

 

Reading I: Ezekiel 33:7-9

Last week we heard from the Prophet Jeremiah. This week we have switched to the Prophet Ezekiel, but continue with the theme of God’s word.

Thus says the LORD:

“You, son of man, I have appointed watchman for the house of Israel; when you hear me say anything, you shall warn them for me. If I tell the wicked, ‘O wicked one, you shall surely die’  and you do not speak out to dissuade the wicked from his way, the wicked shall die for his guilt, but I will hold you responsible for his death. But if you warn the wicked, trying to turn him from his way, and he refuses to turn from his way, he shall die for his guilt, but you shall save yourself”

JP2 Resources

Every week since the start of the year I have brought a handful of CDs to the JP2 Group to hand out. These CDs have contained a selection of the best faith-related podcasts I’ve found on the Internet. Previous CDs have included material from Peter Kreeft, Catholic Answers, Devin Rose, A Good Story Is Hard to Find, Fr. Robert Barron and, of course, the legendary Catholic Stuff You Should Know.

My aim in doing this has been to bring people into contact with a wide range of Catholic resources, in the hope that they find a few speakers they really enjoy and who help them in their spiritual journey. So today I thought that I would write this short post, pointing to the Resources page of the JP2 website in the hope that the readers of this blog may also benefit.
