The 15th Sunday in Ordinary Time -- July 16, 2023

Today's readings seem to have a lot of references to growth and plants, but also to words, and to The Word, Jesus Himself. How do these fit together? What is God telling us? Today in my bean field, we're reading the Scriptures for the 15th 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.
