This episode reflects on the Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time in Lectionary Cycle A originally written for Sunday, July 5, 2020.

While I wish I could read the Gospel directly from the Roman Catholic Lectionary used in the United States, copyright prevents me. I encourage everyone to visit the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops online at usccb.org to read the actual lectionary text. But for this presentation, I read the passage from the New American Standard Bible, which permits such use.

That Scripture quotation was taken from the NASB (New American Standard Bible) Copyright by The Lockman Foundation which can be found online at lockman.org.
