14th Sunday in Ordinary Time – July 5th, 2026

Happy 250th Birthday to America and also a most Happy Birthday to Fr. Blood.  May many blessings come down upon our country and upon you Father this special day.

In our readings this week we are reminded that our God reigns to the ends of the earth; that his Spirit dwells in us; and that we know God because Jesus has revealed him to us.  But perhaps the most amazing words we hear come from Jesus at the end of today’s Gospel: “Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest.”

Isn’t it wonderful to know that our mighty and powerful God cares enough about us to lift our burdens and soothe our weary souls?   Life can sometimes be difficult, but we are promised rest and comfort in the arms of our loving God.
