16th Sunday in Ordinary Time

“We Proclaim Productivity!”

July 12, 2020

​

Isaiah 55: 6-13

Psalm 65

Romans 8: 8-11

Matthew 13: 1-9; 18-23

Bishop Ariel P. Santos  

​

In Psalm 50, God said to His covenant people (the Church, the Christians), “You thought that I was just like you.”  Sadly, up to this day, some think that God is like them.  Thinking that they are made in the image of God, what they are is what God is.

I am not being political, but it is sad that a major network experienced misfortune because of its closure.  One preacher with a large following was gloating over the fact that one of the noontime TV hosts of the network fought against him and made fun of him.  Now, this preacher is making fun of this TV personality because of what happened to them.  The preacher uses God to say that what the network is experiencing is His judgment because God is avenging him as he claims to be the anointed man of God, and God is laughing at the network for their misfortune.  This is not like God at all.

COLLECT OF THE DAY

Almighty God, the fountain of all wisdom, You know our necessities before we ask and our ignorance in asking: Have compassion on our weakness, and mercifully give us those things which for our unworthiness we dare not, and for our blindness we cannot ask; through the worthiness of Your Son Jesus Christ our Lord, Who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
