Seventeenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Living Faith in July: Luke 11:1-13 Lord on the day I called for help, you answered me. (Psalm 138) When you ask, what do you expect to receive? When you seek, how do you know what to look for? When you knock at the door, what do you hope the one who answers will say? 320 Holy Hours were kept with Our Lord in Eucharistic Adoration last week. The only time Our Lord asked the Apostles for anything was the night He went into agony. Not for activity did He plead, but for an hour of companionship.

What is Sin? A sin is a word, deed, or intention by which a man or woman deliberately and voluntarily offends against the true order of things as Gods loving providence has arranged them. It is more than violating some rules; sin turns freely and deliberately against Gods love and ignores him. St. Augustine wrote, Sin is ultimately love of oneself even to contempt of God. It does become possible to recognize sin and its seriousness by drawing near to God. (From the Youth Catechism of the Catholic Church) (Youcat #315)
