Thursday, July 9, 2026Thursday of the Fourteenth Week in Ordinary TimeMemorial of Saint Augustine Zhao Rong (priest) and companions, martyrs PATHWAYS OF HOPE: “ANSWERING GOD’S CALL” [GOSPEL OF THE DAY]: MATTHEW 10: 7 - 15 Jesus said to his Apostles:“As you go, make this proclamation:‘The Kingdom of heaven is at hand.’Cure the sick, raise the dead,cleanse the lepers, drive out demons.Without cost you have received; without cost you are to give.Do not take gold or silver or copper for your belts;no sack for the journey, or a second tunic,or sandals, or walking stick.The laborer deserves his keep.Whatever town or village you enter, look for a worthy person in it,and stay there until you leave.As you enter a house, wish it peace.If the house is worthy,let your peace come upon it;if not, let your peace return to you.Whoever will not receive you or listen to your words--go outside that house or town and shake the dust from your feet.Amen, I say to you, it will be more tolerablefor the land of Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgmentthan for that town.”Reflection by Justin Gubaton : Human Resources and Operations Manager for a BPO Company; Underway member - Holy Trinity Community Davao; Chapter Head and Member - Lingkod ng Panginoon/CYA-Davao.#POHopgiver #LandasngPagasa #catholic #biblereadings #jesus #catholicchurch #christian #church #faith #god #jesuschrist #love #pray #bible #christianity #prayer #hope #gospel
