FOURTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
First Reading: Zechariah 9:9-10 This is a prophecy of the coming of the Messiah to Jerusalem. He will come, not as a King, but as a humble savior, riding on an ass. Second Reading: Romans 8:9, 11-13 Contrasting “flesh and spirit,” Paul urges that all who live for material things abandon the temptations of the flesh and rise to life in the “Spirit.” Gospel: Matthew 11:25-30 Jesus speaks lovingly and gently when he invites all those who are weary and burdened with life to seek relief and respite in him. He says, “Your souls will find rest, for my yoke is easy and my burden light.”

July 5 Stewardship Reflection
“For my yoke is easy, and my burden light.” (Matthew 11:30)
When we think of being good stewards, we may think that God is asking too much of us when He calls us to generously share our time, talent, and treasure. However, we must remember that we are not “owners” of anything, we are merely “stewards” of the gifts God has given us. All He is asking is that we give back a small portion, in gratitude, of what He has already given to us.

The freshly gleaned produce will be transported back to Catholic Charities' St. Lucy Project Food Warehouse and given to those in need. Mission trips will be offered on the first Saturday of each month starting July 11 through November and are a great service project for church groups, families, book clubs and confirmation students (with parental supervision).
