Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Difficulties are many, but our reward is great. Isaiah finds comfort in Jerusalem, our spiritual home, despite the fact that at the time it lay in ruins, leading the Israelites to mourn for its prior greatness. Paul bears the marks of his persecution but boasts in the saving cross. Jesus sends his disciples out like lambs among wolves, but they return rejoicing with their successes. Whatever our difficulties are today, may we, like all the earth, cry out to God with joy.
