Reminder for the 15th Sunday in Ordinary Time, July 13, 2025

Deuteronomy 30:  Moses said to the people: "If only you would heed the voice of the LORD, your God, and keep his commandments and statutes that are written in this book of the law, … "            

Colossians 1:  Christ Jesus is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.

Luke 10:Which of these three, in your opinion, was neighbor to the robbers' victim?" He answered, "The one who treated him with mercy."  Jesus said to him, "Go and do likewise."

“Hitch your wagon to a star,” Ralph Waldo Emerson said.   It’s a ride worth taking even if we never get where we thought we wanted to go.
