TWENTY - SIXTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME OCTOBER 1, 2017 First Reading: Ezekiel 18:25-28 Ezekiel reminds the people that if a sinner turns away from his iniquity, he will live, not die. Second Reading: Philippians 2:1-11 Paul urges the converts at Philippi to be united in spirit and ideals, avoiding rivalry and dissension. He ends with the beautiful hymn extolling the humility and sacrifice of Christ. Gospel: Matthew 21:28-32 Jesus speaks words of rebuke to the chief priests and the elders because they are not believing the teachings of John the Baptist. He warns them that tax collectors and prostitutes, who do believe John, will enter the Kingdom of God before them.

P.O. Box 113 Blauvelt, NY 10913 In this memoir, set as deeply in his mind as in the Southeast Asian jungle, a young American soldier embarks on a journey to a war that, for him, will never be over. The world was a playground for Mickey, a naive Irish American kid bored with his life. His father served in World War II, his brother was a Marine in Vietnam; now it was his turn. His 365 days in Vietnam builds in torment until an attack on a bunker complex in Cambodia. Wounded, his friend captured, he becomes a tormented survivor knowing he is always just a heartbeat from death.
