Reflection for Saturday, August 16, 2008: 19th week in Ordinary Time.
(University Ministry, Creighton University., 2008-08-16)

Reflection for Thursday, August 17, 2006: 19th week in Ordinary Time.
(University Ministry, Creighton University., 2006-08-17)

(University Ministry, Creighton University., 2016-04-01)

Reflection for Monday, August 13, 2012: 19th week in Ordinary Time.
