13th Sunday in Ordinary Time, June 28, 2026

2 Kings 4:  When the woman had been called and stood at the door, Elisha promised, “This time next year you will be fondling a baby son.”
Romans 6:  We know that Christ, raised from the dead, dies no more; death no longer has power over him.
Matthew 10:  And whoever gives only a cup of cold water to one of these little ones to drink because the little one is a disciple—amen, I say to you, he will surely not lose his reward.”


To be able o be the source of calm and joy in the midst of crisis is to stir timid souls to life again. “Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile,” Thich Nhat Hanh says, “but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.”

    Isaiah 7:  Therefore the Lord himself will give you this sign: the virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall name him Emmanuel.
    Romans 1: Through him we have received the grace of apostleship, to bring about the obedience of faith, for the sake of his name, among all the Gentiles, among whom are you also, who are called to belong to Jesus Christ;
    Matthew 11:  Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall name him Emmanuel, which means “God is with us.”

     


    No, life is not predictable, but it is livable if we only concentrate on what we have more than on what we want. “Life is a shipwreck,” Voltaire wrote, “but we must not forget to sing in the lifeboats.”
