The Gospel of John Part Two
begins 7/8/26 7pm via Zoom
The Gospel of John uses rich symbolism, brilliant irony, and contrasting opposites to highlight the divine nature of Jesus. Part Two of our study (John 11‒21) begins with the final “sign” of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead and takes readers to the hour of Jesus’ glorification in his passion, death, and resurrection. Enter into this deeply spiritual Gospel and its remarkable account of the Son of God who is willingly "lifted up" on the cross, fully revealing the Father and drawing all people to himself. Commentary, study and reflection questions, prayers, and access to online lectures are included. 5 lessons. email robertajalbert@aol.com with questions.
Reminder that if you have allergies to wheat bread, inform Mass Coordinator before each Mass to receive Gluten Free Holy Eucharist.

REFLECTIONS
JUNE 28, 2026 13TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
First Reading: Kings 4:8-11, 14-16a
Second Reading: Romans 6:3-4, 8-11
Gospel: Matthew 10:37-42
In today’s Gospel, Jesus lays down the condition for discipleship: “Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. . . . Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.” Well, let’s perform a little thought experiment. Could you imagine any other religious leader or religious founder saying such a thing?
Could you honestly imagine Muhammad saying it? No! He might say, “Whoever loves father or mother more than the Quran . . .” Could you honestly imagine the Buddha saying it? No! He might say, “Whoever loves father or mother more than my teaching . . .” Could you imagine Moses saying it? No! Perhaps he would say, “Whoever loves father or mother more than the Lord . . .”
But they wouldn’t say, “Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me.” This is precisely what Jesus says, which makes all the difference. For he is not one religious founder among many, not one prophet of the truth in a long line of prophets. He is the one to whom all religions, directly or indirectly, point; he is, in person, the truth to which all prophets testify.
