The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Reading 1 - Revelations 11:19a; 12:1-6a, 10ab - Can you follow Mary into the desert, a place of quiet prayer, today? How could you arrange to spend ten or fifteen minutes in quiet prayer, safe in God's presence? It might be at home, on a bus, or during a lunch hour. Could you make it a practice every day?

Gospel - Luke 1:39-56 - Picture your life as it is right now. Where do you need to trust God more? In school? Choosing good friends? In money matters? In making choices between right and wrong?

Baobab Blast Vacation Bible Camp 2010

19th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Reading 1: Wisdom 18:6-9 - It is wise to recall the many ways God has guided and protected us in the past. How has God cared for you in the past? your family? your parish?
Reading 2: Hebrews 11:1-2, 8-19 or 11:1-2, 8-12 - If we trust in God, we can move forward in life. Do you have faith in God's care for you? How can you show that you trust in God? Is God calling you to a deeper faith? How? What forward step can you take that, without faith in God, would be more difficult or impossible for you?
Gospel: Luke 12:32-48 or Luke 12:35-40 - Jesus always respects our freedom. We can say yes or no when he comes. The question is: When Jesus comes, will you want to keep your door closed, or open it up wide? Are you going to wait until the end of time to welcome Jesus, or can you begin today? How?

Baobab Blast Bible Camp 2010 Themes

18th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Reading 1: Ecclesiates 1:2; 2:21-23 - Today's readings fit together like three panels of a colorful mural called "Set Your Heart on the Kingdom." This first reading insists that "All things are vanity!" For the author, vanity meant "emptiness" or "straw." He is telling us that it is useless to set out hearts on things that must be left behind when we die.  Make a list of your concerns. Are any of them "vain"? How are you on the right track in your priorities? When are you overly concerned with vain things?
Reading 2: Colossians 3:1-5, 9-11 - In what ways have you bee tempted to beleive that more is better?
Gospel: Luke 12:13-21 - How important is making money? Jesus knows that we all need enough to live on. Each person's need will be a little bit different. Each family's needs will be a little bit different. But Jesus warns here against piling up money and ignoring what really makes us rich, love of God and love of others.
