Eighteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Here are the readings for the Eighteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time, August 4, 2013:

Ecclesiastes 1: 2, 2: 21-23
Psalm 90: 3-6, 12-14, 17
Colossians 3: 1-5, 9-11
Luke 12: 13-21

One of the seven core principles of Catholic Social Teaching involves "Rights and Responsibilities".
People have basic rights and responsibilities because of their human dignity which reflects the fact that they have been created in God's image. Catholic teaching emphasizes that people have a right to life and to the basic necessities that provide quality to life: food, shelter, health care, education and employment. We are called to respect the rights of others and to seek the common good.
  • What do the readings for this weekend have to do with this principle?
  • What challenges you? What is affirming for you?
  • What action might you be called to in response to Scripture?
