FOURTEENTH SUNDAY OF ORDINARY TIME, JULY 8 TH 2018 Jesus is met with misgivings and rejection by his own relatives. Like them, we often resist the prophetic word because of an obstinacy of heart, rooted in self-pride which must give way to weakness and powerlessness.

They all experience obstacles to their ministry. Ezekiel is summoned to prophesy to the Israelites, who are [h]ard of face and obstinate of heart (Ezekiel 2:4). Saint Paul recounts how he has been given a thorn in the flesh (2 Corinthians 12:7). The Lord Jesus is unable to perform many signs in his native place. The Gospel tells us that [he] was amazed at their lack of faith (Mark 6:6). We too sometimes encounter obstacles as we travel along the journey of faith. So often we experience weakness on this journey. Let the words of the Lord to Saint Paul encourage us today: My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9). Copyright J. S. Paluch Co., Inc. TODAY S READINGS First Reading They shall know that a prophet has been among them (Ezekiel 2:2-5). Psalm Our eyes are fixed on the Lord, pleading for his mercy (Psalm 123). Second Reading I am content with weaknesses and hardships for the sake of Christ (2 Corinthians 12:7-10). Gospel The people said: Where did this man get all this? Is he not the carpenter, the son of Mary? (Mark 6:1-6).

Mother Theresa Do You Know? Can you describe the elements of the bas-relief sculpture? Answer in next week s bulletin. Wednesday, July 11 Memorial of Saint Benedict, Abbot. d. 547 Founder of the Order of Saint Benedict (OSB), the Benedictines. Answers to last week s questions This piece of sculpture is on the front of the baptismal font. The dove, its head surrounded by a halo, represents the Holy Spirit which we first receive at Baptism. The seven rays coming out of the halo represent the gifts of the Holy Spirit. God s love for us and our love for God aren t seasonal.
