29th Sunday in Ordinary Time October 18, 2015 “For the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many” Mark 10: 45
Background on the Gospel Reading by:
In this Sunday's Gospel, we continue to read from the section of Mark's Gospel that reports Jesus' journey to Jerusalem. Last Sunday we heard Jesus lament the particular challenges those with many possessions face in order to enter the Kingdom of God. Jesus then predicts his passion to the Twelve, who are amazed and afraid. In this part of Mark's Gospel, Jesus' words to his closest disciples seem to be intended to prepare them for the events that will occur in Jerusalem. In today's Gospel, James and John ask to be given seats of honor when Jesus enters into his glory. Once again, the disciples seem to be selective in what they hear Jesus say. They want to share Jesus' glory, but do not appear to understand that his glory will be preceded by his suffering. Jesus notes their lack of understanding and predicts the suffering they will endure for the sake of the Gospel. Jesus says that the honor they seek is not his to give. When the other ten hear what James and John have asked, Mark reports that they are indignant. Jesus takes the opportunity to teach them. Jesus explains the importance of service and sacrifice in the life of a disciple. In particular, he seems to be preparing the Twelve for their leadership roles in the emerging Christian community. Echoing the Gospel we heard several weeks ago (on the 25th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Mark 9:33-37), Jesus acknowledges that his teaching is countercultural. In today's Gospel, Jesus contrasts the dynamics within the community of disciples with those shown by the rulers of the Gentiles.
Following Jesus' example of sacrificial love continues to be countercultural in our day as well. We might take this opportunity to consider our models of authority and examine our own exercise of authority. On whose example do we model our leadership?
Monday November 2, 2015 is All Souls' Day, a day of prayer for all our deceased brothers and sisters in the Church Family. On this day, we will remember in a special way all of our deceased loved ones and especially all deceased members of our parish family. Mass will be celebrated on All Souls' Day at 7:00 AM at the Church of St. Gregory, and at 12:10 PM and 7:00 PM at Our Lady of the Snows Church. All are invited to attend these special liturgies. During the 7:00 PM Mass of Remembrance, we will be remembering in a special way all of our brothers and sisters who have died during this past year. Family members of those in our parish who have died during this past year will receive a special invitation, however, all are invited and encouraged to participate in this Mass. If a close friend or relative of yours died during this past year (not from our parish) and you would like to have this person remembered in this special Mass please call Nettie at the parish office or sign the list in the back of the Church as you arrive for the 7:00 PM mass on All Souls Day. Light refreshments will be served in the Gathering Room following the 7:00 PM Mass . All are welcome to attend.
Welcome… A warm welcome is extended to all who have come to our parish this weekend to join this community to worship and praise God through the Eucharist. Please know that all of our guests from our community and beyond are a gift to us. If you would like information on joining our parish, please contact us. We would be happy to accompany you on your journey of faith. If you have any pastoral needs, please call or use our website to contact our priests or a member of our pastoral staff. We are here to serve you!

The world was a playground for Mickey, a naive Irish American kid bored with his life. His father served in World War II, his brother was a Marine in Vietnam; now it was his turn. His 365 days in Vietnam builds in torment until an attack on a bunker complex in Cambodia. Wounded, his friend captured, he becomes a tormented survivor knowing he is always just a heartbeat from death.
In this memoir, set as deeply in his mind as in the Southeast Asian jungle, a young American soldier embarks
on a journey to a war that, for him, will never be over.
