In Sunday’s Gospel, Jesus announces that His “hour” has come. The “hour” refers to His passion. He is about to die for our sins. We see Jesus here expressing anguish over His coming suffering. Still, He submits Himself completely to this task and willing goes to the cross for our salvation. Jesus' death and resurrection brought about the glory of God, as was announced by the voice from heaven. Jesus’ death was the culminating moment of all of human history. In death, He conquered the devil (i.e. “the ruler of this world”) and brought salvation to the world. Just like a grain of wheat, Jesus had to die in order to bring about new life. He offered Himself on the cross in order to offer us life. The salvation Jesus offers is for all people. But it still involves a choice on our part. Jesus can save everyone but He won’t save anyone against their will. Jesus offers us all salvation from sin and, as a result, eternity with Him in heaven. But will we accept His offer? Jesus calls us in today’s Gospel to serve Him. This means that we follow His ways, living in relationship with Him. We seek to be with Jesus, so that where He is, we will also be. Jesus calls us into communion with Him, aligning our wills with His and obeying Him. Will you go where He leads you?

Box Tops for Education was started by General Mills in California back in 1996, after the company decided they wanted to create a program to help support education and benefit America’s schools. All Souls has benefitted from this program over the years, receiving sports equipment, microscopes, and a variety of other educational items.

You can help by clipping the Box Tops off approved products you already have in your pantry. You don't need to clip the actual product UPC — just the Box Tops logo will do. From frozen foods to produce and household cleaning products, there are literally hundreds of opportunities to help, and each Box Top is worth 10 cents. Doesn't sound like a lot, but it adds up fast.

There are so many participating companies! Participating companies and product lines include General Mills, Green Giant, Totino's, Pillsbury, Old El Paso, Ziploc, Hefty, Juicy Juice, Betty Crocker and many more. For a full list of eligible items check the Box Tops for Education website at https://www.boxtops4education.com/earn .
