July 2, 2023: 13th Sunday in Ordinary Time

We are called to follow Christ with devotion that surpasses even our love for those in our family.

We do so recognizing God is the source of all goodness in our lives, just like in His goodness, at the word of Elisha, God provided a child for the Shunamite woman, who had been so good in serving Elisha, acknowledging He was a prophet.

God shows His greatest goodness to us in sending us His Son, Who brought us salvation.  We join with Christ in baptism into His death and rise to newness of Life that we live following Him wholeheartedly.

At this time of year when we celebrate the independence of the United States, we recall that our faith teaches us we have been set free for the purpose of being who we are meant to be in God's sight, which we discover when we give of ourselves.
