include, in prayer, loved ones who have departed

from this life. Prayer for this intention will be said for

this month and for the whole month of November.

10:35-45.

Monday Readings: 2Tm 4:10-17b. Lk 10:1-9.

Lk 12:35-38.

Good stewards must not argue about who is the most important. Today’s Gospel says clearly that those

who aspire to greatness must humbly serve the needs of all. Even Jesus came not to be served but to serve.
