Beginning this week I will be posting a question for adults and children to consider their answers about the scripture readings for the next Sunday. This is a resource that will help everyone better consider the readings at Mass.
Nineteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time Running the race of faith
Reading I Wisdom 18:6–9a (on the death of the Egyptian first-born)
Reading II Hebrews 11:1–2, 8–19 (faith of the ancients)
Gospel Luke 12:32–48 (we depend on God; prepare for the master’s return)
Key Passage Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight and the sin that clings so closely, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus the pioneer and perfecter of our faith. (Hebrews 12:1–2a)
Adult: Other than Jesus, which of the ancestors of Christian faith has served as the greatest example to you? Why?
Child: Which person of the Bible has been a good example to you of how to live?
