Sunday 12 July

Fifteenth Week in Ordinary Time

Amos 7: 12-15, Psalm 85, Ephesians 1:3-14, Mark 6:7-13

Every spiritual blessing

Dear old Paul! His letter to the people in Ephesus, is one of his most beautiful epistles. After a short introduction, every verse carries a blessing that will take us deep into the mystery of the love for which we are made. These blessings can be read many times and in a number of ways: I suggest that you go back and reread, one verse at a time, changing the pronouns “we” and “us” to “I” and “me.” Pause between the verses, to reflect on their meaning for you.
