Saint Anthony Mary Claret, Bishop

Today’s readings invite you to repentance and fruitful growth, trusting that Christ patiently strengthens his Church with grace for each member.

Welcome—today the Church gathers you in ordinary time to hear both a warning and a promise. Jesus calls you not to speculate about others, but to turn your own heart back to God and bear fruit while there is still time. Saint Paul reminds you that Christ has already given grace and gifts to each member of his Body, so that together we may grow strong in truth and charity. Even now, the Lord tends his vineyard with patience and asks you to live the gift you have received.
