Approaching the 30th Sunday in ordinary time

Psalm 90:1-6, 13-17 

Deuteronomy 32:1-14, 18 

Ititus 2:7-8, 11-15

Today we have two readings connected to leadership. From Deuteronomy we have the first part of the Song of Moses, a poem in the mouth of that great leader as he stands on the brink of the Jordan to usher the children of Israel into the promised land (though he will not cross himself). And from the little letter to Titus we have an exhortation about the kind of character he is expected to model as a leader.

You might like to ponder on issues of leadership today as the dust settles on the final presidential election debate in the US. What kind of leaders do we seek? and what leadership role might you be called to undertake in whatever sphere?
