- The Sixth Sunday after Pentecost - July 21, 2019 (Year C)

Listening to God's Word and Living in the Light of the Gospel
Take time to ponder the words of Jesus and treasure his presence (Luke 10:38-42). He is the beginning and end of all things (Colossians 1:15-28) and has reconciled us to God. We can no longer boast in evil (Psalm 52). God has called his people to practice sincere faith (Psalm 15), hospitality, honesty, and care for the needy (Amos 8:1-12). Even when he seems silent, we must remember that God often reveals himself in unexpected ways (Genesis 18:1-10a). The hope held out in the gospel gives us the courage to suffer well while patiently waiting for future glory.

“Blessed,” he says, “are those who are hungry and thirsty for justice, because they shall be satisfied.” It was from this wellspring, from this storehouse of justice, that Mary, seated at the Lord’s feet, was in her hunger receiving some crumbs. You see, the Lord was giving her then as much as she was able to take. But as for the whole amount, which he was going to give at his table of the future, not even the disciples, not even the apostles themselves, were able to take in at the time when he said to them, “I still have many things to say to you, but you are unable to hear them now...” - Augustine on Luke 10:38-42
Collect for the Sixth Sunday after Pentecost
Almighty God, the fountain of all wisdom, you know our necessities before we ask and our ignorance in asking: Have compassion on our weakness, and mercifully give us those things which for our unworthiness we dare not, and for our blindness we cannot ask; through the worthiness of your Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
