RCL Reflection for July 14, 2019
We are all called to love God and serve neighbor through our individual vocations. This call is not just a once-and-done, or when we think about it, or when it’s convenient, or when it’s expedient; it’s a 24/seven/365 proposition. Jesus tries to teach this to the lawyer in Luke 10:25-37 using the parable of the “Good Samaritan.” (Image: Paula Modersohn-Becker, Art in the Christian Tradition, Creative Commons)
Lectionary Reflection for the Eighth Sunday after Pentecost, Year C, July 10
It is in this God-given, God-near faithfulness that we learn to be fruitful and are equipped to tend the vineyards and orchards of God’s good creation. By chewing on the Divine word and letting it shape our hearts for justice, mercy, and love, we do the works God calls us to, and we become neighbors. (Photo: d-olwen-dee, Creative Commons)

Loving your neighbor can be messy business, but it’s what Jesus calls us to do. How will you send the community out to “go and do likewise”? (Photo: Frame It Photography)
