Study, Pray, Serve: 6th Sunday of the Year
Let’s explore the themes we find in the Mass readings for the 6th Sunday of the Year.
1st Reading – Jeremiah 17:5-8
- People are cursed when they turn away from the Lord and put their trust in others.
- People are blessed when they put their trust in the Lord, and they are sustained in times of distress.
Psalm – 1:1-4,6
- “Blessed are they who hope in the Lord.”
- Those who delight in the Lord will be strengthened like a tree planted near running water.
2nd Reading – 1st Corinthians 15:12,16-20
- The resurrection of Christ is the foundation of our faith and the source of our hope.
- Raised from the dead, Christ is the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep.
Gospel – Luke 6:17,20-26
- Luke’s “Beatitudes” have many similarities to those found in Matthew 5:1-12.
- However, Luke also offers a list of “woes” that offer a somber reminder to keep ourselves fixed on the Lord.
