Sunday 3 August

Eighteenth SUNDAY in Ordinary Time

Isaiah 55:1-3; Ps 145; Romans 8:35, 37-39; Matthew 14:13-21

God’s infinite love

St Paul’s letter to the Romans couldn’t be clearer – nothing exists that can come between us and the love of God. He lists example after example to stress his point. When we read his words do we really believe? Can we fully grasp the enormity of this truth? Humanly we cannot, but as we reflect on today’s reading let us ask God to fill our hearts with the assurance of his love.
