17th Sunday in Ordinary Time

We're approximately 50% through the season of Ordinary Time today. The readings for the next several Sundays are coming out of one of my favorite chapters in the Bible...John 6. Today we had the multiplication of the loaves and next we get to jump right in to the "Bread of Life discourse."

I'm pumped....

Just a thought from the second reading:

"I, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to live in a manner worthy of the call you have received...."

Are we living our lives as ambasadors for Christ? Are we embracing and living our vocation? The boy in the gospel reading gave all he had so the crowd of 5,000 could be fed. I doesn't take much for God to work a miracle...just our cooperation with His grace.

God bless...

Also, St. Ignatius of Loyola's feast day is tomorrow. Get ready for a post on him.
