Reminder for Sunday July 8, 2012, 14th Ordinary Time

Acts 2:  Jesus the Nazarene was a man commended to you by God with mighty deeds, wonders, and signs, which God worked through him in your midst, as you yourselves know. This man, delivered up by the set plan and foreknowledge of God, you killed, using lawless men to crucify him. But God raised him up, releasing him from the throes of death, because it was impossible for him to be held by it.
1 Peter 1:  He was known before the foundation of the world but revealed in the final time for you, who through him believe in God who raised him from the dead and gave him glory,
Luke 24:  That very day, the first day of the week, two of Jesus’ disciples were going to a village seven miles from Jerusalem called Emmaus, and they were conversing about all the things that had occurred.  And it happened that while they were conversing and debating, Jesus himself drew near and walked with them, but their eyes were prevented from recognizing him.

It’s not difficult to get rich.   But it’s difficult to learn to have enough.
The Monastic Way, Sister Joan Chittister
