Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year C

Accepting the Christian message

Reading I: Isaiah 66:10–14 (mother Zion)
Reading II: Galatians 6:14–18 (the cross, our true boast)
Gospel: Luke 10:1–12, 17–20 (mission of the seventy–two)

Key Passage: Jesus said to the disciples, “Whenever you enter a town and they do not welcome you, go out into its streets and say, ‘Even the dust of your town that clings to our feet, we wipe off in protest against you. Yet know this: the kingdom of God has come near.’” (Luke 10:10–11)

Adult: Where do you see the message of Christian faith being rejected in the world today? What is your response to that?
Child: What can you do when you are generous with others, and they do not want what you give them?
