Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

“Jesus resolutely took the road for Jerusalem.”
Introduction
To be a Christian is to be a traveller. We must always be moving forward, like Christ on the road to the kingdom.
Today’s Readings
First Reading: 1 Kings 19:19-21
On the journey of life, a good companion is better than a good pair of shoes.
Second Reading: Galatians 5:1, 13-18
A misused freedom is the worst kind of slavery, for by it we enslave ourselves.
