www.madalenetulsa.org 33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time Readings begin on Page 554 in your Sunday Missal. Introduction The language of today s Gospel may at first appear to be threatening and terrifying. On closer inspection, we see that not only are Jesus words not threatening; they are reassuring, which is exactly what the message of Good news should be. 1st Reading Daniel 12:1-3 This passage is reckoned to be the earliest explicit mention in the Bible of the virtuous dead rishi to everlasting life. 2nd Reading Hebrews 10:11-14, 18 Jesus offering of himself replaces all the sin offering of the past. His sacrifice is the complete answer to the sin of humanity. Gospel Mark 13:24-32 Jesus speaks of the return of the Son of Man in glory, and he insists that his words are true and eternal.

The agreement, signed by St. Gregory s University President D. Gregory Main and TCC President Leigh B. Goodson, Ph.D., updates the existing agreement to include Business Administration, Early Childhood Education, Nursing and Psychology. Under the agreement, any TCC student who graduates with an associate degree will receive approximately 60 hours of credit toward a bachelor s degree from St. Gregory s. We have created a clear and simple process for students from TCC to transfer their credits and transition into a Bachelor s degree program at St. Gregory s. Our Tulsa campus provides a convenient location for TCC graduates, and allows students to be able to maintain their work/life balance while pursuing an advanced education, said Main. The articulation agreement between the two schools will broaden the access students and working adults have to college degrees and will make the overall cost of a bachelor s degree more affordable by completing the first half the associate degree at TCC, said Goodson.
