Homily for Saturday of the 14th week in Ordinary time year II July 13 2024
Homily for Saturday of the 14th week in Ordinary time year II July 13 2024 Isaiah 6:1-8; Psalm 93; Mathew 10:24-33 Jesus has been equipping His disciples with guidelines for effective evangelization. Today, He reveals the ultimate goal of these instructions. First, Jesus emphasizes that a disciple is never above the teacher; at most, the disciple can be like the teacher. This teaches us that only Jesus deserves our ultimate discipleship, as He alone is Almighty. If the Almighty is our limit, then we can be considered unlimited. Let us remain conscious of this divine affinity, especially in the face of persecution. It is worthwhile to endure suffering for bearing the name of Christ. I solemnly assure you, God will never forsake you. Jesus further encourages transparency in adhering to the tenets of the gospel. We are transparent when our actions and inactions, whether public or private, are justifiable. If publicity threatens our clandestine actions, we may need to retrace our steps. Le
