It looks for strength in wealth, the ability to own and accumulate possessions. It looks for strength in developing advantages over others, such as superior education and prestigious positions. Revelation presents a different picture. It introduces us to a messiah who is meek, and riding on an ass. It wants us to believe that our strength is in a man whose boast is that I am gentle and humble of heart. It praises God for contradicting the wisdom of the world: for what you h Wed, 02 Jul 2008 16:26:06 GMT http://www.scribd.com/doc/3787372/14th-sunday-Insert http://www.scribd.com/doc/3787362/070608-new July 6, 2008 Readings for Mass July 6, 2008 1st Reading 2nd Reading Gospel Zec 9:9-10 Rom 8:9, 11-13 Mt 11:25-30 July 13, 2008 Is 55:10-11 Rom 8:18-23 Mt 13:1-23 ny 14th Sunday in Ordinary Time The Archdiocese of Atlanta seeks a full-time Administrative Assistant to perform secretarial duties in the Archbishop’s Office for the Senior Executive Assistant.
