Twenty-seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time

Here are the readings for the Twenty-seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time, October 7, 2012:

Genesis 2: 18-24

Psalm 128: 1-6

Hebrews 2: 9-11
Mark 10: 2-16

The readings today speak of relationships:

• Our connectedness with all of creation. 
• Jesus becoming one with us, regarding us as brothers and sisters. 
• How a marriage relationship is a visible expression of the fidelity and everlasting love of God.
• How every person, no matter how young, poor, or otherwise usually ignored, is worthy of respect and is beloved by God.

In what ways do you recognize the grace of God present in our world: in nature, family, strangers?

The topic for the Catechumenate session this Sunday is the Sacrament of Marriage.
