Second Sunday after Pentecost -- Matthew 6

Readings:

Isaiah 49:8-16
Psalm 131
1Corinthians 4:1-5
Matthew 6:24-34

As we enter ordinary time, the season after Pentecost, our readings focus on discipleship and the life of faith. On this Sunday, we hear a portion of Jesus' Sermon on the Mount. Jesus tells us that the entirety of our life is not wrapped up in the trappings which surround us. Rather, the essentials will be given to us, and therefore we might live a life of open discipleship.
