This Sunday is the last Sunday of August, the eleventh Sunday after Trinity. Already the new school year has been marred by tragedy. Two children were killed and eighteen others injured, three adult parishioners who were in their 80s and 15 children, in a church shooting in Minneapolis, Minnesota on Wednesday. Those killed and injured were attending Mass at Annunciation Catholic Church. The children were students of Annunciation Catholic School. Let us remember the victims and their families in our prayers.
Acts of violence like this one not only affect those who were present when the shooting occurred, those whose children were killed, and those who were injured and their families and loved ones, but they also can traumatize children who hear about what happened. How the adults around them react to what happened and what they say can add to their trauma. They can unintentionally make an already stressful situation more stressful.
In this Sunday’s message we take a look at a quality of character about which Jesus not only taught but which he himself also exhibited—humility.
Readings: Proverbs 25:6-7, Hebrews 13:1-8; Luke 14: 1, 7-14
Message: On Humility

If you are new to Sundays at All Hallows, you may find these directions helpful:
-It is recommended that after reading or hearing each lesson to take time to reflect on what you read or heard during the period of silence which follows each lesson. It is also recommended that you do the same thing after reading or hearing the message.
-When you open the link to a video in a new tab, check auto-play to make sure it is in the off position. Otherwise, a second video with a different song will follow the first.
-If an ad plays when you open a link to a video in a new tab, click the refresh icon of your browser until the song appears.
-If a song begins partway through the video, click pause, move the slider to the beginning, and then click play.
-An ad may follow a song so as soon as the song is finished, close the tab.
May Sundays at All Hallows be a blessing to you.
