Reading for 16th Sunday in Ordinary Time (18th July)
Gen 18:1-10. The psalm following this reading could have been Abraham’s prayer. He was a man of profound faith. His docility and attentiveness in the presence of Yahweh brings him the reward of his heart’s desire.
Col 1:24-28. St Paul writes from prison. He is happy to suffer to “help to make up all that has still to be undergone by Christ for the sake of his body, the Church.” It is his responsibility to deliver to them the message of salvation, hidden for centuries.
Luke 10:38-42. In this little episode of Jesus among his dear friends in Bethany, sisters of Lazarus, Jesus makes clear the absolute necessity everyone has of attending to the Word of God, which is Himself .
