June 8, 2008. Tenth Sunday in Ordinary Time. We may think at times that each of us is not good enough, or not pious enough, or not worthy enough to be truly called by God.

Thursday of the Sixth Week in Ordinary Time. The readings remind us today to make sure that we do not have partiality with certain people over others - as impossible as this task may seem.
