Sixth Sunday After Pentecost

Introduction to the Day
Perhaps the church, at its best, is “all ears.” God urges the faithful, again and again, to “listen up!”—to heed the word that gives life. So it was with Abraham and Sarah, Mary and Martha, and the early church at Colossae. So it is today as we join the assembly to hear the word of God, the word of life.

Readings:
Genesis 18:1-10a -- The hospitality of Abraham and Sarah to three visitors of the Lord
Colossians 1:15-28 -- Hymn to Christ, the firstborn of all creation
Luke 10:38-42 -- Jesus says: Martha, your sister Mary has chosen the better part
