Tenth Sunday in Ordinary, Year C

Time Moved with pity

Reading I: 1 Kings 17:17–24 (Elijah and the widow)
Reading II: Galatians 1:11–19 (Paul called by Christ)
Gospel: Luke 7:11–17 (the widow’s son)

Key Passage: As Jesus approached the gate of the town, a man who had died was being carried out. He was his mother’s only son, and she was a widow; and with her was a large crowd from the town. When the Lord saw her, he had compassion for her and said to her, “Do not weep.” (Luke 7:12–13)

Adult: What might a greater sense of compassion allow you to do for someone this week?
Child: When did you try to understand what another person was feeling?
