Cycles of Faith-Seventeenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

St. Oscar Romero said, “We cannot do everything, and there is a sense of liberation in realizing that. This enables us to do something and to do it very well. It may be READINGS FOR THE WEEK OF incomplete, but it is the beginning, a step along the way, an opportunity for the Lord’s JULY 25, 2021 grace to enter and do the rest.” Sunday: 2 Kgs 4:42-44/Ps 145:10-11, 15-

There were a group of ladies many years ago who made quilts. They were beautiful 16, 17-18 [cf. 16]/Eph 4:1-6/Jn 6:1-15 creations reflecting inspirational designs artfully composed from the simple scraps of Monday: Ex 32:15-24, 30-34/Ps 106:19- fabric each woman would bring to their individual pieces. There was no plan for the 20, 21-22, 23 [1a]/Mt 13:31-35 finished project as each finished work became the combined creation of what each Tuesday: Ex 33:7-11; 34:5b-9, 28/Ps woman contributed. They abounded in vibrant colors and dazzled the beholder with 103:6-7, 8-9, 10-11, 12-13 [8a]/Mt 13:36- intricate patterns and their myriad textures. They were so beautiful that they became 43 coveted family treasures passed from generation to generation. Those women never Wednesday: Ex 34:29-35/Ps 99:5, 6, 7, 9 realized the power of their work. Countless babies rested in the comfort of those quilts [cf. 9c]/Mt 13:44-46 warmly nestled in the legacy of tradition they were fortunate to inherit. They adorned Thursday: Ex 40:16-21, 34-38/Ps 84:3, 4, countless homes with their beauty and brought joy and solace to many faces. 5-6a and 8a, 11 [2]/Jn 11:19-27 or Lk We cannot do everything. We are not meant to. Our work in life is to contribute our 10:38-42 individual piece, a piece that reflects the unique thumbprint I claim as my own. We only Friday: Lv 23:1, 4-11, 15-16, 27, 34b- have to do small things well. Then, as St. Oscar Romero reminds us, the Lord’s grace will 37/Ps 81:3-4, 5-6, 10-11ab [2a]/Mt 13:54 enter and do the rest. We have to trust that this is true just as those women trusted in the eventual beauty of their final work. -58 Saturday: Lv 25:1, 8-17/Ps 67:2-3, 5, 7-8 Eucharistic blessings are blessings that start small and multiply. We all come to life with [4]/Mt 14:1-12 only a few loaves of bread and a few fish. Not any single one of us has all that it takes to Next Sunday: Ex 16:2-4, 12-15/Ps 78:3- transform our world. Who knows what God will do with the little we have and how many will benefit from our kindness, compassion, wisdom, courage, conviction, love, warmth, 4, 23-24, 25, 54 [24b]/Eph 4:17, 20-24/ zeal, faith, and hope? That young lad never dreamed that his few leftovers would do all Jn 6:24-35 LPi that they did. God shows up in unexpected ways! Where would life’s adventure and fun be if it were any other way? Being able to be part of bringing God’s creative, transforming, healing to the world opens us up to wonder, awe, and excitement! We can ANNIVERSARIES THIS WEEK all bring our little piece to the bigger work of God that can result in being a coveted jewel passed generation to generation. This is good news indeed! 29 Gary & Kathleen Jaap 54 Yrs 27 Jason & Michelle Porter 19 Yrs Bread and wine transform into Christ’s Body and Blood and we become what we eat. 31 Michael & Julie Solger 11 Yrs Trust that. ©LPi
