7 Friends of Jesus and Mary Amigos de Jesús y María Florida Center for Peace Friends of Jesus and Mary XXVII Sunday in Ordinary Time October 4, 2015 Readings: Genesis 2:18-24; Psalm 127; Hebrews 2: 9-11; Mark 10:2-16 Jesus Teaches about Divorce The Pharisees approached Jesus and asked, "Is it lawful for a husband to divorce his wife?" They were testing him. He said to them in reply, "What did Moses command you?" They replied, "Moses permitted a husband to write a bill of divorce and dismiss her." But Jesus told them, "Because of the hardness of your hearts he wrote you this commandment. But from the beginning of creation, God made them male and female. For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. So they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, no human being must separate." In the house the disciples again questioned Jesus about this. He said to them, "Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her; and if she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery." And people were bringing children to him that he might touch them, but the disciples rebuked them. When Jesus saw this he became indignant and said to them, "Let the children come to me; do not prevent them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Amen, I say to you, whoever does not accept the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it." Then he embraced them and blessed them, placing his hands on them. (Mark 10:2-16) Reflection God wants love and faithfulness for married couples. But sometimes the problems of life lead to separation, although that is not really God s plan. How have they been affected by divorce and separation in their families? What are their feelings? Are they made to feel important at home? Are the adults in their family too busy to pay attention to them? Jesus tells the children to come to him. Do you trust in Jesus and talk to him about the things that worry you? Prayer Lord, teach us that when we share our joys and pains and when we show one another respect and affection, we strengthen our unity. Keep us united according to your loving plan. Amen.

9 Friends of Jesus and Mary Amigos de Jesús y María Florida Center for Peace Friends of Jesus and Mary XXVIII Sunday in Ordinary Time October 11, 2015 Readings: Wisdom: 7, 7-11; Psalm 89; Hebrews: 4, 12-13; Mark: 10, The Rich Man As Jesus was setting out on a journey, a man ran up, knelt down before him, and asked him, "Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?" Jesus answered him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone. You know the commandments: You shall not kill; you shall not commit adultery; you shall not steal; you shall not bear false witness; you shall not defraud; honor your father and your mother." He replied and said to him, "Teacher, all of these I have observed from my youth." Jesus, looking at him, loved him and said to him, "You are lacking in one thing. Go, sell what you have, and give to the poor and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me." At that statement his face fell, and he went away sad, for he had many possessions. Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, "How hard it is for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God!" The disciples were amazed at his words. So Jesus again said to them in reply, "Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for one who is rich to enter the kingdom of God." They were exceedingly astonished and said among themselves, "Then who can be saved?" Jesus looked at them and said, "For human beings it is impossible, but not for God. All things are possible for God." Peter began to say to him, "We have given up everything and followed you." Jesus said, "Amen, I say to you, there is no one who has given up house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or lands for my sake and for the sake of the gospel who will not receive a hundred times more now in this present age: houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions, and eternal life in the age to come." (Mark 10, 17-30) Reflection The young man is honest and good, but Jesus calls him to a greater generosity. Do you think asking for so much is unrealistic on Jesus part? Imagine you are the young man. What does Jesus tell you? What s hard for you to share? Speak to Jesus and tell him about the things you have that you really don t like to share. Ask him to help you to be generous. Tell him what you will like to do this week. Activity Dramatize the story of the rich man. The child that represents the rich man should say the things he or she cannot leave behind to follow Jesus. The rest of the children let him know that it is better to be happy with Jesus than to own lots of things. Prayer Lord, teach us to share what we have. We know that when we give, we receive your love and become closer to you. May selfishness not enslave us, because it is generosity that frees us and opens up your riches for us. Amen.

11 Friends of Jesus and Mary Amigos de Jesús y María Florida Center for Peace Friends of Jesus and Mary XXIX Sunday in Ordinary Time October 18, 2015 Readings: Isaiah: 53, 10-11; Psalm 32; Hebrews: 4, 14-16; Mark: 10, The Request of James and John The power to serve James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to Jesus and said to him, "Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask of you." He replied, "What do you wish me to do for you?" They answered him, "Grant that in your glory we may sit one at your right and the other at your left." Jesus said to them, "You do not know what you are asking. Can you drink the cup that I drink or be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?" They said to him, "We can." Jesus said to them, "The cup that I drink, you will drink, and with the baptism with which I am baptized, you will be baptized; but to sit at my right or at my left is not mine to give but is for those for whom it has been prepared." When the ten heard this, they became indignant at James and John. Jesus summoned them and said to them, "You know that those who are recognized as rulers over the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones make their authority over them felt. But it shall not be so among you. Rather, whoever wishes to be great among you will be your servant; whoever wishes to be first among you will be the slave of all. For the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many." (Mark: 10, 35-45) Reflection Jesus says that people closest to him are those who serve others. Are you thankful for all the things your parents and relatives do for you? Do you appreciate the many sacrifices they make so that you can have what you need? Which persons are more important for you? What is society, particularly television, teaching them about who is important and powerful? What examples of service do they see around them? Do they think that serving others is reserved for inferior people? Share. Activity Give each child a blank piece of paper. Divide it in two parts. On one side write Authority-Power and on the other side Service. Write on each side the daily activities their parents or guardians do for them. Help them realize all the things they do to serve them. Write a thank you note to them. Prayer Jesus, teach us to act together and to deal with the problems and pains of our family members with compassion, patience and love. Let us not be concerned with power and making ourselves heard. Let us serve one another, so that all of us can become who you want us to be. Amen. FLORIDA 9779 S.W. 72 ND St. Miami, FL Tel: (305) amigo_jym_miami@fcpeace.com Webpage:

12 Friends of Jesus and Mary Amigos de Jesús y María Florida Center for Peace Friends of Jesus and Mary XXX Sunday in Ordinary Time October Reading: Jeremias 31, 7-9; Psalm 125; Hebrews: 5, 1-6; Mark 10, Jesus cure Bartimaeus As Jesus was leaving Jericho with his disciples and a sizable crowd, Bartimaeus, a blind man, the son of Timaeus, sat by the roadside begging. On hearing that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say, "Jesus, son of David, have pity on me. And many rebuked him, telling him to be silent. But he kept calling out all the more, "Son of David, have pity on me." Jesus stopped and said, "Call him. So they called the blind man, saying to him, "Take courage; get up, Jesus is calling you. He threw aside his cloak, sprang up, and came to Jesus. Jesus said to him in reply, "What do you want me to do for you? The blind man replied to him, "Master, I want to see." Jesus told him, "Go your way; your faith has saved you. Immediately he received his sight and followed him on the way. (Mark 10, 46-52) Reflection Bartimeus was able to see because he trusted in Jesus. Do you trust Jesus and talk to him when you have problems? Sometimes when we are in doubt about something or don't know what to do about a problem, we say we aren't seeing things clearly. Is there something you would like to see more clearly? Do you tell Jesus about your problems? Bartimeus decided to follow Jesus when he was healed. Sometimes Jesus asks us difficult things. Are you always willing to follow Jesus? Activity Do a trust walk. Blindfold some of the children and ask others to lead them around the room. Then have them change places. Talk about what they felt when they were being led. Did they trust the person who was leading them? Prayer Jesus, teach us to see your presence in the people who do good in our community. Help us to be a light for others through our love, support, hope and trust in you. Amen. FLORIDA 9779 S.W. 72 ND St. Miami, FL Tel: (305) amigo_jym_miami@fcpeace.com Webpage:
