Today’s Readings First Reading Exodus 20:1-17
God delivered the commandments to Moses and the Hebrews, who had been freed from slavery in Egypt. “You shall not have other gods
besides me,” said the Lord God.
Responsorial Psalm Psalm 19: 8, 9, 10, 11 Lord, you have the words of everlasting life.
Second Reading 1 Corinthians 1:22-25

stronger than human wisdom.

three days I will raise it up.”

Newman Mission Statement “cor ad cor loquitur” The Newman Catholic Center includes the students, faculty and staff at the University of Massachusetts and extended community.
Empowered by the Spirit and inspired by .John Henry Newman’s motto: “Heart speaks to Heart” we explore, believe and reach out inclusively to make Jesus Christ present to all who share their journey with us.
Newman Vision Statement The Newman Catholic Center at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst provides a safe, comfortable, and caring community in which students can
grow spiritually, form new relationships, and deepen the rich traditions of their Catholic Faith. As Blessed John Henry Cardinal Newman desired, we put the Catholic faith to work in conjunction with students’ secular education. We offer encouragement in worship and study, aid in the development of lead-ership skills, and facilitate in building a faith community that provide lasting memories. Through the sharing of meals and prayers that sustain the body, mind and spirit, we create a “home away from home” environment that helps to break social barriers while supporting each other in the growth and un-
derstanding of the faith. We act as models to those around us through our commitment to God, Church and Community.

Faith In Action: Incorporating the Gospel Message Into our Everyday Lives
What’s your reaction when you see something really unfair or wrong going on? Do you speak up? Do you seethe quietly? Do you flip tables? Here we see a rare example of Jesus completely losing his cool. Some Scripture scholars say that Jesus’s anger wasn’t just
about business being transacted in what should be a holy place, but was spurred by the injustice of poor travelers being taken advantage of. Roman coins were changed for the kind that could be used for temple offerings, and animals for religious sacrifice were
sold at unfair prices. In the other Gospel accounts—Matthew, Mark, and Luke—this story comes near the end just before Jesus is arrested and crucified. John’s account of the Gospel places the story at the beginning of Jesus’s ministry. Throughout John’s account—
the last to be written—we see a reflection of the growing conflict between the Jewish community and the early Christians. Today’s readings also remind us of God’s wisdom and to follow the teachings we have been given from the time of Moses to now.
Jesus cleaned out the temple of moneychangers. He was angry; He was zealous; He spoke with authority. He was doing what he
had to do even though it involved risk, danger, insult and wonder. Such is a religious vocation in the Church. If you think
God might be calling you to one, call Fr. Gary Dailey at 413 452-0816 or email: [email protected]
