Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
July 8th, 2007

St. Xavier Parish Home Page

    In today's Gospel we hear the story of the sending out of the seventy-two. They went to the towns and villages in pairs, proclaiming that the kingdom of God was at hand. We have been assembled here, some of us two by two, in order to hear the Lord's call once again. Let us pray during this holy Mass that we will be strengthened in our resolve to call others to life in the kingdom of God.
     We welcome the sacred word of God this day with hearts open to transformation. This word has the power to change us. As this word is proclaimed in our midst, let us receive it with hearts filled with joy. Let us respond by echoing the sentiments of the psalmist:
"Let all the earth cry out to God with joy."



We congratulate Becky Striggow and Andrew Liebau, who were married Saturday. May your love for each other continue to grow every day in the presence of Christ.
