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.”

    Ezekiel 47:  This water flows into the eastern district down upon the Arabah, and empties into the sea, the salt waters, which it makes fresh.  Wherever the river flows, every sort of living creature that can multiply shall live, and there shall be abundant fish, for wherever this water comes the sea shall be made fresh.
    1 Corinthians 3:  Do you not know that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
     John 2:   He made a whip out of cords and drove them all out of the temple area, with the sheep and oxen, and spilled the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables,and to those who sold doves he said, “Take these out of here, and stop making my Father’s house a marketplace.”

    True?

     

    You cannot be too gentle, too kind.
    Shun even to appear harsh in your treatment of each other.
    Joy, radiant joy,
    streams from the face of one who gives
    and kindles joy in the heart of one who receives.
