TODAY IS THE SEVENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

THE THEME FOR TODAY’S MASS IS: HOLINESS

FOCAL POINT:   Why should human beings be holy? Because God is holy. Be perfect because God is perfect. Christians see their moral lives related to God. It is important to know what God thinks of morality. God’s ideas are best reflected in Jesus Christ.
