A FAMILY PERSPECTIVE 25th SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME BY BUD OZAR
Disagreements are common in families. But what would you say if Jesus posed the same question “What are you arguing about?” Is it silly and pretty? Is it an attempt to impose your will and control on another? Today Jesus tells us and his disciples to give it up. We are meant to serve each other, not control.

What Does the Word “Catechetical” Mean?
The word might be more familiar than you think. Many Catholics have used the word "catechism" for years, and they know it has something to do with the compendium of the Church's teachings. The root word, "catechesis," is from a Greek word meaning "to echo, or resound." Catechesis is the act of resounding or bring-ing the Church's teachings to the world. A catechist is one who teaches in the name of the Church. For more information, see www.usccb.org
