July 9, 2017: 14th Sunday in Ordinary Time

God came to our world humbly and bearing the great gift of salvation for us.  And His reign of peace extends vastly as we come to trust in Him.  As His disciples, we are called to be child-like and embrace a sense of simplicity in our lives so that we focus on living for Him, so that we can embrace the great mysteries of God that He reveals to the humble and meek those who are in relationship with Him.  Because we are saved, we praise Him as we live in the assurance of attaining Heavenly Rest one day.  And we experience it even now as we follow His ways, dying to sin, and rising to New Life in the Spirit, Who is His presence ever with us.
