Women of
Courage
Then Queen Esther answered, "If I have won your
favor, O king, and if it pleases the king, let my life be given me—that is my
petition—and the lives of my people—that is my request. For we have been sold, I
and my people, to be destroyed, to be killed, and to be annihilated. If we had
been sold merely as slaves, men and women, I would have held my peace; but no
enemy can compensate for this damage to the king." Then King Ahasuerus said to
Queen Esther, "Who is he, and where is he, who has presumed to do this?" Esther
said, "A foe and enemy, this wicked Haman!" Then Haman was terrified before the
king and the queen.

Twenty-sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Previous OPQs may be
found at:
John said to him, "Teacher, we
saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we tried to stop him, because
he was not following us." But Jesus said, "Do not stop him; for no one who does
a deed of power in my name will be able soon afterwards to speak evil of me.
Whoever is not against us is for us. For truly I tell you, whoever gives you a
cup of water to drink because you bear the name of Christ will by no means lose
the reward.
