13th Sunday in Ordinary Time/ Year A/ Homily for June 28. 2026

June 28. 2026 - Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time. Readings: 2 Kings 4: 8-11, 14-16; Psalm 89: 2-3, 16-17, 18-19; Romans 6: 3-4, 8-11; Matthew 10: 37-42 ———————————————————————————————- The readings for the 13th Sunday in Ordinary time year A, invite us to grow ever deeper in our relationship with God and to express that relationship through love, compassion, and respect for those around us. In the first reading from 2nd Kings, we witness the profound hospitality of the Shunammite woman who welcomes the prophet Elisha into her home. In her generosity, she not only provides a meal but also arranges a space for him, demonstrating that true hospitality goes beyond mere provision; it is a recognition of the sacredness of the other. In her kindness, she receives a great blessing—in this case, the promise of a son. This reminds us that when we open our lives to others, we may also invite divine blessings into our own. The Psalm today echoes this sentiment beautifully. “Your love, O Lord, forever will I sing; through all ages my mouth will proclaim your faithfulness.” This reminds us of the enduring covenant between God and His people. In our acts of kindness and hospitality, we reflect God's unwavering love and faithfulness. Each act, no matter how small, can be a testament to God’s ongoing love in the world. ——————————————————————————————— #catholicchurch #sundayreflection #sundayhomily #faith ———————————————————————————————- ‪@MyCatholicLifeJMJ‬ ‪@truewords1995‬ ‪@jesuscalls‬
