18th Sunday in Ordinary Time, August 2, 2026

Isaiah 55:  I will renew with you the everlasting covenant, the benefits assured to David.
Romans 8:   What will separate us from the love of Christ?   Will anguish, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or the sword?   No, in all these things we conquer overwhelmingly through him who loved us.
Matthew 43:  But they said to him, “Five loaves and two fish are all we have here.”  Then he said, “Bring them here to me,” and he ordered the crowds to sit down on the grass.  Taking the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he said the blessing, broke the loaves, and gave them to the disciples, who in turn gave them to the crowds.  They all ate and were satisfied,

Rosemary’s Blessing:

Oh God who created galaxies and worlds without number
Animals and plants, and microbes beyond count,
And tiny subatomic particles we can barely imagine,
Help us to be as bountiful and gracious to all those we meet this
week as you have been to us.
