17th Sunday in Ordinary Time, July 26, 2026

I Kings 3:  Give your servant, therefore, an understanding heart to judge your people and to distinguish right from wrong. For who is able to govern this vast people of yours?”
Romans 8:   Brothers and sisters: We know that all things work for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose.
Matthew 13:   Jesus said to his disciples: “The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure buried in a field, which a person finds and hides again, and out of joy goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.

 


To forget to celebrate is to forget to imitate the God who created us and then relaxed and said, “That’s good.”

The Monastic Way, Sister Joan Chittister

When it finds its spot and takes root, it doesn't need its brain anymore, so it eats it. It's rather like getting tenure.”
