MEMORIAL OF COSMAS AND DAMIAN, MARTYRS






Cosmas and Damian were brother physicians in the early church, famous for never accepting payment for their work as a way to witness to their deep Christian faith. While most of us need to earn an income off our professional skills, we also can let these saintly brother doctors inspire us to offer our skills in some volunteer or pro bono (for the public good) work. Look for a way to match your skills to society’s needs and volunteer somewhere today.

TWENTY-SIXTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

Not just another day
“Casual Fridays” began in the 1990s. Employers were trying to improve office morale without spending any money, so workers were permitted to wear jeans, T-shirts, and flip-flops to work. A look at the Communion procession in most contemporary churches this morning would indicate the idea has spread even to Sunday Mass. If formality in church attire has disappeared, what about honoring the day of the Lord by remembering, “Keep holy the Sabbath Day”? Find a way to make Sunday different from other days of the week in your home.

Interesting - LOT Polish Airlines greets 500,000th Boeing 787 passenger

LOT Polish Airlines has greeted its 500,000th Boeing 787 passenger at the Warsaw Chopin Airport with a flash mob performance by artists from the Muzyczny ROMA Theatre.

Maciek Kolodziej, the airline's five hundred thousandth passenger, was taken by surprise as everyone around him broke out into song and dance. After a rendition of ABBA’s Mama Mia in Polish, Kolodzeij was ushered onto a stage where he was given a gift bag and a complimentary cupcake featuring the company’s logo.
