Join John Kleinsman, Teresa Edwards & Colin MacLeod in conversation with John O’Connor reflecting on the scriptures for the Twenty-Third Sunday in Ordinary Time.

Read the scriptures for this Sunday at this link.

John Kleinsman made several references which he shares below:

  • My opening quote from Pope Leo:
    “With infinite love, God has created all things and given them life… Only a contemplative gaze can change our relationship with creation… ‘It is in the Eucharist that all that has been created finds its greatest exaltation.’” Pope Leo XIV: Inaugural ‘Mass for the Care of Creation’ (2025) Listeners might also check out this page which provides resources for the liturgical celebrations: https://worlddaycreation.com/en/
  • My closing quote from Pope Leo:
    “Although the challenges before us are enormous, God does not leave us without the means of healing and transformation. In place of the weapons of war, the God of peace grants us the strength to heal, to reconcile and to build a civilization of love. In this way, we are called to safeguard the many “ecosystems” entrusted to us: the ecosystems of creation, of human relationships and of the human heart itself.” MESSAGE OF HIS HOLINESS, POPE LEO XIV FOR THE 11th WORLD DAY OF PRAYER FOR THE CARE OF CREATION 2026: https://www.vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/en/messages/creation/documents/20260815-messaggio-giornata-curacreato.html

Teresa Edwards refers to the website for the Irish Jesuits which you can find at Sacred Space.
