25th Sunday B

The following resources are in the form of a video presentation

• The readings for the day
• (a useful commentary on these readings here )
• A Gospel Reflection by Fr Alex
  
• Prayers of Intercession
  
• Closing reflective music

Having listened to the readings, the homily and the prayers, you might want simply to reflect yourself on what you have heard and how that might flow into your coming week. Some people have found it very helpful to meet with others and share their thoughts.

If you are interested  in joining a small group to share your thoughts and feelings about God's Word from any of the resources you have watched please email us.         cluster.alpha@outlook.com

Questions for reflection (framed for a group discussion)

In the eyes of the world, those who devote themselves to helping others are frequently used as doormats or stepping stones by others who seek power, privilege and position.

Sadly, the Church established by Jesus is not immune to this scourge and its toxic effect on the lives of its faithful followers.

1. How have you experienced "power abuse" in the Church and how can it be remedied?
2. What evidence do you see in the world around you
   that many do not accept Jesus' teaching on power and ambition?
