Readings for July 23, 2023

Wisdom 12:13, 16-19 ; Psalm 86:5-6, 9-10, 15-16; Romans 8:26-27; Matthew 13:24-43 

Suggested Reflection Questions:

• The first reading says, “Those who are just must be kind.” How can you be kind to others this week?
• The second reading talks about how the Holy Spirit helps us. When have you felt the Holy Spirit’s presence during a hard time?
• In the Gospel, Jesus uses a parable to explain the Kingdom of Heaven. Why do you think Jesus uses parables? How do you relate to this parable today?
