Seventeenth Sunday of Ordinary Time – Year C

“When you pray, say, ‘Father, hallowed be your name’” (Luke 11:2).

Atop a mountain called Olivet, outside Jerusalem, there stands today a church with a strange name. It is called the Church of the Our Father. It stands over the spot where tradition holds that Jesus taught His prayer to the apostles.

 “Charity is the one thing that is not cast down by another’s good fortune, because it is not jealous. It is the one thing that its own good fortune does not puff up, because it is not conceited.”
