First Reading: Isaiah 66:10-14c
Isaiah instructs the people of Jerusalem to rejoice, because God would restore her prosperity. The people will better understand God's power through their homeland's restoration.
Second Reading: Galatians 6:14-18
Paul describes the sign of the cross of Jesus as all that is significant. Following the old laws is unimportant. Instead, being baptized in Christ and adhering to his ideals is what matters most.
Gospel: Luke 10:1-12, 17-20
Jesus sent forth seventy-two disciples to preach his good news, telling them "the harvest is rich, but the workers few." He also gave them detailed instructions on how to act towards the people. Jesus then reminded them not to be happy because of their power over evil, but to rejoice in the salvation they would achieve.

A FRESH PERSPECTIVE ON THE SUNDAY READINGS: HIS WORD TODAY by Rev. William J. Reilly Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time - July 3, 2016 “At that time the Lord appointed seventy-two others whom he sent ahead of him in pairs to every town and place he intended to visit. He said to them ‘The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few, so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest’… “May I never boast except in the cross of Our Lord Jesus Christ.” A rich tradition as missionaries were taking leave for their travels to other lands, was the presentation of their mission cross. How often when missionaries visited parishes to preach a mission, they carried that cross with them, and with it, blessed the people. It is not rare for us to observe on our streets young Mormons or Jehovah Witnesses, going in pairs to bring their message, stopping, conversing, knocking at doors. Jesus did the same when he sent the seventy-two. Pope Francis has reminded us of our mission, to hit the road, dirty our feet, yes, and even be bruised as we become His laborers for His harvest. We are not to wait in church for others to join us in the gift of our faith, but we too are sent, apostles, to bring what has the greatest meaning in our life, the Person of Christ. May we be cross bearers for the kingdom and His harvest.
