Genesis 18:  "Please, let not my Lord grow angry if I speak up this last time.  What if there are at least ten there?"  He replied, "For the sake of those ten, I will not destroy  it."

Colossians 2:  You were buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the power of God, who raised him from the dead.

Luke 11:  "And I tell you, ask and you will receive; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.

                              

                                                                   

It is doubt, not certitude, that enables us to believe, because it requires us to think deeply about an entire subject.

Another Reminder for the 17th Sunday in Ordinary Time, July 27, 2025

Micah 5 :  … from you shall come forth for me one who is to be the ruler in Israel;

Hebrews 10 :   … behold, I come to do your will, O God.

Luke 1:  Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.
