The 14th Sunday in Ordinary Time -- July 9, 2023

Jesus often turned things upside down. In His time, Romans controlled the world, and they did so through military might. The Romans rode horses. Jesus rode a donkey. Yet, while the Romans ruled the temporal world, Jesus rules the Universe. How does this all work out? Today in my bean field, we're reading the Scriptures for the 14th Sunday in Ordinary Time and the commentary on those readings by Dr. Peter Kreeft from his book, "Food for the Soul", Reflections on the Mass Readings for Cycle A. Scripture readings are from the Lectionary for Mass for Use in the Dioceses of the United States of America, second typical edition, Copyright Confraternity of Christian Doctrine, Inc., used with permission.
