PATHWAYS OF HOPE: “GOD’S CHOSEN SERVANT”

Saturday, July 18, 2026Saturday of the Fifteenth Week in Ordinary TimeMemorial of Saint Camillus de Lellis, priest PATHWAYS OF HOPE: “GOD’S CHOSEN SERVANT” [GOSPEL OF THE DAY]: MATTHEW 12: 14 - 21The Pharisees went out and took counsel against Jesusto put him to death.When Jesus realized this, he withdrew from that place.Many people followed him, and he cured them all,but he warned them not to make him known.This was to fulfill what had been spoken through Isaiah the prophet:Behold, my servant whom I have chosen,my beloved in whom I delight;I shall place my Spirit upon him,and he will proclaim justice to the Gentiles.He will not contend or cry out,nor will anyone hear his voice in the streets.A bruised reed he will not break,a smoldering wick he will not quench,until he brings justice to victory.And in his name the Gentiles will hope.
