Holy Redeemer Church Bangkok

Seventeenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Gn 18: 20-32 / Col 2:12-14 / Lk 11:1-13

The disciples ask Jesus to teach them to pray. Were they surprised by his answer? Scripture scholars say that much in the Lord’s Prayer is found throughout the Jewish practice and worship the disciples and Jesus already shared. Read more…

July 25; St. James, chosen by Christ to follow him. One of three who were selected by Christ to witness his Transfiguration on the mountain. May we be as close to Christ as James.

July 26: Sts. Joachim & Anna, parents of our blessed Mother, Mary. We know practically nothing about them, but them, but to know their daughter is, to some extent, to know them also. How pleasing it is to Mary that we give honor to her parents.

July 29: St. Martha. Remembered especially for serving a meal to Christ while her sister, Mary, prayed with him. Better still, she is remembered for her testimony of Christ “I have come to believe that you are the Mesiah, the Son of God, who has come in to the world.

July 31: St.Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Jesuit Order. Reading the lives of the saints changed him from being a soldier of Spain to a soldier of Christ. The Jesuit are honored throughout the world.

The sick and the elderly people of our parish appreciate your prayers for their good health. If you know the hospitalized parishioner and are able to visit him or her, this also would be appreciated.

Father Dan and several parishioners visit two groups of inmates in a Bangkok prison. An effort is made to supply these women with some of the comforts of life. Supplies can be purchased at the prison and given to the women. Should any wish to support this program, please address your offering to Father Dan.

Gn 18:1-10a/ Col 1: 24-28/ Lk 10:38-42

Martha was “anxious and worried about any things.”

          We all know what that’s like. We’re busy. We have lists of things to do. We might have an electric, handheld, life saving reminder that beeps before our next appointment. We accomplish a lot. What if someone drops in or wants to set up a meeting or a meal? We can do that. Send me an e mail. Read more…
