Sunday – Ordinary Time – Week 26 – Year B

Sometimes Christ’s words are very strong, right? When we hear strong words, they make us wonder. If God loves us, why would he warn us with such vivid imagery?

Quotes

"Everything in our lives is a gift of his love: how can we be indifferent before such a great mystery? How can we not respond to the Heavenly Father's love by living as grateful children? In Christ, he gave us the gift of his entire self and calls us to a personal and profound relationship with him." - Pope Benedict XVI

(11) Listen to me, daughter; see and bend your ear.Hear, O daughter, and see; turn your ear,forget your people and your father’s house.So shall the king desire your beauty;for he is your lord, and you must worship him.R.
