September 10

September 10, 2013: Tuesday, 23rd week, Ordinary Time

Readings

• Col 2:6-15  Walk in Christ, rooted in him, built on him, in faith, thanksgiving.  In Christ is God's fullness; you share it.  He heads every principality and power.  You were buried, raised with him.  He forgave us.

• Ps 145:1b-2, 8-11  "The Lord is compassionate toward all his works."  Daily I extol, bless, praise you, gracious, slow to anger, kind, good Lord.  Let your works give you thanks; let your faithful bless you.

• Lk 6:12-19  Jesus prayed all night, called disciples, chose Twelve "Apostles."  Crowd came to hear, be healed.  Power came from him and healed them.

Today's presider encouraged us, in line with psalm and first reading, to be kind (not "nice") and mentioned a 21-day kindness challenge.
