Today's Readings

Dominican Laity

Catholic Social Services
Solano County
Saint Dominic's Catholic Church, Benicia, California

August 22, 2010 Twenty-Second Sunday in Ordinary Time

From today′s  Gospel reading (Lk 14:1, 7-14):

Jesus said, "Every one who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted."

Reflection:

Frank Sinatra croons, "I did it my way!" We, too, often act as if the good things in our life are dependent upon ourselves. But at the heavenly banquet table, we will clearly see that the gifts we possess and the good we do in this life come from the grace of God. Humility is the virtue by which we recognize this truth even now. As a result, humility leads us to ask for God′s grace by which we are lifted up to enjoy the supper of the Lamb.
  • Do I humbly acknowledge that all that I am and all that I have comes from God working in and through me?
  • Do I share the gifts in my life with others realizing that they come from God and are meant to lead back to God?


NEW PARISH DIRECTORY

Do you ever see people and wonder what their names are? Have you ever heard an announcement regarding a member and wished you could put a face to a name? Are you a new member and wish you had something to help you put names with faces? Help is on the way! We are producing a pictorial family album! There is no cost to have your photographs taken, and you will receive a complimentary 8x10 portrait and directory for participating. You will be able to view your images electronically immediately after photography. At that time, you will have the opportunity to purchase additional portraits to share with family and friends.

Mary Ann Gaoaen has volunteered to coordinate the project for us. Thank you Mary Ann! To make our directory a great success, we need more volunteers! If you are interested in helping during photography sign-ups, telephoning our members or serving as a host or hostess during actual photography sessions, please call Mary Ann at 373-2018 or e-mail her at malg@sbcglobal.net < >or email the parish office at parish.secretary@sdbenicia.org.

Sessions Have been extended through September 18! Schedule an appointment for your portrait online at the  Lifetouch Scheduling Webpage
