GOSPEL — MATTHEW 9:35—10:15
THIRD SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST

Many of us are dumbfounded by instructions, even if we have the patience to read them. We may in fact ignore them, ripping open a cardboard box holding a new gadget, toy, or piece of furniture and launching into assembly without bothering to find the enclosed paperwork. In this story from Matthew, the instructions for the twelve laborers are clear: cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, and cast out demons. Having watched Jesus’ ministry of proclamation and healing, they are sent out on their own ministry to do the same.

DESPERATE MEASURES

GOSPEL — MATTHEW 9:9-13, 18-26
SECOND SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST

You’ve likely heard the saying “Desperate times call for desperate measures.” Today’s gospel features a story within a story, both of women, both restored to life and community. And the actions—of the girl’s father and the woman with the flow of blood—are equal parts desperation and faith.
