SUNDAY 18th OCTOBER 2026
Twenty-Ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Christ’s response to the false dilemma put to him by the Pharisees reveals that, though we owe obedience to just laws and rightful authority, we must also give to God what belongs to God. And what does belong to God? Our very lives. The effects of original sin entice us to withhold some part of ourselves from God, but Saint Paul reminds us: “You were chosen by God our Father.” And the Lord says: “I have called you by your name, though you knew me not. I am the Lord and there is no other.” Thus, the one to whom we owe everything is not a tyrannical ruler, but our Creator who loves us.
INTENTIONS
AUGUST 2026
For evangelization in the city.
Let us pray that in large cities often marked by anonymity and loneliness we find new ways to proclaim the Gospel, discovering creative paths to build community.
SEPTEMBER 2026
For the care of water.
Let us pray for a just and sustainable management of water, a vital resource, so that everyone may have equal access to it.
OCTOBER 2026
For mental health ministry.
Let us pray that the mental health ministry be established throughout the Church, helping to overcome the stigma and discrimination of persons with mental illnesses.
NOVEMBER 2026
For the proper use of wealth.
Let us pray for the proper use of wealth, that not succumbing to the temptation of selfishness,
it may always be put at the service the common good and solidarity of those who have less.
DECEMBER 2026
For single-parent families.
Let us pray for families experiencing the absence of a mother or father, that they may find
support and accompaniment in the Church, and help and strength in the Faith during difficult
times.
