August in Ordinary Time, Cycle A (2017)

Our readings for the month of August begin with the account of the Transfiguration, where God reveals to Peter, James, and John that He entrusts His authority to Jesus, who is both the Messiah sent to Israel and the Lord and Savior sent to all humanity. During the Sundays which follow, we then reflect on the authority entrusted by God to human beings and by Christ to the Christian community. How do we exercise the creativity and power entrusted to us in the way we care for our neighbor and for God’s creation, our common home?
