FIFTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME (Year C) July 14, 2019

Today’s Bible Readings: Isaiah 66:10-14; Psalms 66:1-7, 16, 20; Galatians 6:14-18; Luke 10:1-12, 17-20 Themes of the Readings: 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.
