THIRTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
First Reading: 2 Kings 4:8-11, 14-16a A woman in Shunem believed strongly in the holiness of the prophet Elisha. To reward her, Elisha promised that she and her aging husband would, within the year, be the parents of a son. Second Reading: Romans 6:3-4, 8-11 Paul explains to the Romans that by immersion in water at baptism, they “die” to their sins; by rising from the water, they rise from “death and sin” to new life in Christ. Gospel: Matthew 10:37-42 With simplicity, Jesus tells his apostles that everyone should love him above all others -- father, mother, son or daughter. He adds, “He who welcomes you, welcomes me.”

June 28 Stewardship Reflection 13th Sunday of Ordinary Times
“…whoever does not take up his cross and follow after me is not worthy of me.”
MATTHEW 1O:38
Pope Benedict XVI said “The world offers you comfort. But you were not made for comfort, you were made for greatness”. “Comfort” puts me first. “Picking up your cross and following Jesus” puts God and others first. Why settle for comfort when you can achieve greatness! Pick up your cross, ask Jesus for guidance on using your gifts and live the life God intended for you!
