Today's Jesse Tree Symbol & Reading:
The ram depicted on today’s ornament is the sacrifice God provided Abraham when he saw Abraham was willing to give up his only son, if that is what God required of him. Read about Abraham and Isaac in Genesis 22:1‐19.

Eighteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Choose one of the following activities as a way to further reflect on the Sunday readings:
- Jesus told his disciples to feed those in need. Reflect on how Jesus can feed others through your family. Plan a trip to a soup kitchen. If possible, make arrangements to prepare and serve the food.
- How does your family practice hospitality? Discuss ways that your family can welcome others in need.
- Clean out your closets. Most families have an abundance of clothing that is packed in closets and dresser drawers. Have each family member stack that clothing in a box. Together take the boxes to a homeless shelter, Goodwill, or any other agency that is in need of clothing.
- Share with others the abundance of God’s love. Invite a guest or another family to share a meal in your home.
