The Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time - 06/28/26

The Holy Gospel According to: Matthew 10:37-42

Jesus said to His apostles:


“Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; and whoever does not take up his cross and follow after me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it."

"Whoever receives you receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me. Whoever receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward, and whoever receives a righteous man because he is a righteous man, will receive a righteous man’s reward."


"
And whoever gives only a cup of cold water to one of these little ones to drink
because the little one is a disciple—Amen, I say to you; he will surely not lose his reward.”

Jesus tells His Apostles whoever gives a child even just a small cup of water, because this little one is a disciple, will be rewarded for following God's Word and the Truth of His Life.
