7TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME, YEAR C

Theme: Growth into the image of the heavenly Father

 

1st Reading: 1 Samuel, chapter 26: 2, 7-9, 12-13, 22-23

David had what might be called a golden opportunity to kill King Saul. The maturity that he displayed when he spared the king’s life can only be explained as maturity that is deeply rooted in his reverence for all that is divine.

 

2nd Reading: 1st letter of Paul to the Corinthians, chapter 15: 45- 49

The comparison between Adam, the human being, and Jesus, the divine being, provides pointers as to whose likeness we should grow into, if we profess to be followers of Christ.

 

Gospel Reading: Luke, chapter 6: 27-38

The words of this scripture outline specific courses of action for all who aspire to grow in the Lord. These words are a source of motivation in our search for Christian growth and maturity.
