Sunday Readings and Backgrounds

Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Reading I : 2 Kings 4:8-11, 14-16a

Elisha is a holy man of God, let him remain.

  • A Shunemite woman recognizes Elisha as a holy man of God and she urged him to dine with her.
  • Elisha promises the Shunemite woman that she will give birth to a son as a reward for her generous hospitality.
  • The Shunemite woman shows us how to receive both a prophet and the prophetic word, with openness and an eager welcome.

Reading II : Romans 6:3-4, 8-11

Buried with Christ in baptism, we shall walk in the newness of life.

  • We who were baptized into Christ have been baptized into Christ’s Death.
  • We no longer need to fear death.
  • Sin and death no longer hold any power over us. We are to live for God!

Gospel : Matthew 10:37-42

Whoever does not take up his cross is not worthy of me. Whoever receives you, receives me.

  • Jesus explains the demands of discipleship.
  • Those who welcome disciples welcome Jesus himself. They will be rewarded.
  • Disciples are also included among the “little ones.” Those who welcome them will also be rewarded.
