Readings for the Week

Reading for Sunday, July 14:

Dt 30:10-14: We heed the word of the Lord by living His commandments. His word is not foreign to us.

Col 1:15-20: The glory of Christ is proclaimed for all to know.

Lk 10:25-37: A man is mugged. Who cares?   How do we love others as we love ourselves?

Today’s Message - The great commandment of love is not something “mysterious” or “remote.” Indeed it is “very near” to us. Yet how difficult it is to fulfill, being neighbor to whomever is in need. But if we seek God, we must “go and do the same” for we have been created in, for, and through Christ.
