Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time – July 2, 2017
Gospel Reading: Matthew 10:37-42
“And whoever gives only a cup of cold water to one of these little ones to drink because the little one is a disciple — amen, I say to you, he will surely not lose his reward.”
The summer is a time for resting and relaxing, for both teachers and students alike. If you live in an area that experiences severe summer heat, you can probably easily relate to how refreshing a cup of cool water is. During the remainder of the summer, think of ways to provide your students with the everlasting “living water” (see John 4:10-11) that is Jesus Christ, as we proclaim in our Catholic schools.
How do you satisfy your students’ thirst for not only knowledge, but also for an awareness that they too are called to spread the Gospel?
