6 July 2026 - Monday of the 14th week (even year)

Hosea 2:16...22; Matthew 9:18-26

                                                               Homily 

            The Gospel account we have today in Matthew's version is the same as the one we had in Mark's eight days ago, on the 13th Ordinary Sunday. We saw then how the two healing stories in this account convey a message about life and its restoration. It is about physical life, which the woman is called to give.  The two women in this gospel are restored to the capacity to give life.

Hosea 11:1–4, 8c–9; Matthew 10:7–15

                                         H o m i l y

    What Yahweh says about His people Israel in the beautiful passage from Hosea that we have just heard as the first reading can just as easily apply to each of us as individuals or to us as a community.  ‘When Israel was a child, I loved him.’ God loved us first, showing us a love as tender as that of a mother for her son, or of a wet nurse for her infant.

6 juillet 2026 – Lundi de la 14^ème semaine (année paire)

Osée 2, 16...22 ; Matt. 9, 18-26

                                                       H o m é l i e 

          Ce récit évangélique, qui se trouve aussi dans une version très légèrement différente dans l’Évangile de Marc, est très bien construit.  Presque chaque détail y est chargé d'une signification symbolique ; et nous n'en percevrons certainement pas tout le message, si nous le lisons simplement comme une belle "histoire".  L'histoire n'est là que pour servir de support au message ; et ce message concerne la vie, sa restauration et son entretien.

July 5, 2026 -- 14th Sunday "A"

Zech 9,9-10; Rom 8,9.11-13; Mt 11,25-30 

                                                          H O M I L Y

The Gospel we have just read has very interesting and extremely revealing points of contact with the Magnificat, the Virgin Mary's song of praise.
