Oct. 21, 2018 Twenty-ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time Page 9 The passage from Isaiah we hear today - of God s servant suffering for the sins of others - we also heard on Good Friday and will hear again next Good Friday. Why do we hear it now nearly halfway in between the two. Perhaps it is because we can use the reminder of what Jesus has done f or us. We can also be reminded of Jesus call to serve others. As we celebrate Mass today, let us renew our commitment to bring God s word into action as we serve those who have the greatest need. Flowers on Blessed Mother Altar are in Memory of Joseph I.
