Readings for Sunday: August 23 — 21st Sunday in Ordinary Time

Joshua 24:1-2a, 15-17, 18b; Ps 34: 2-3, 16-17, 18-20; Ephesians 5:21-32; John 6:60-69

Suggested Reflection Questions:

• How does your “household” (whether that be your nuclear family, your roommates, your group of friends or coworkers, etc.) serve God?

• What teachings of Jesus or the church do you find hard to accept? How do you deal with the tension between doctrine and your own conscience?

• How do you answer the question “to whom shall I go”? How do you “go to God” in your life?
