Time to ponder the scriptures we'll hear proclaimed at Mass this weekend for the 30th Sunday in Ordinary Time.
You didn't run and get your bible?
That's OK!

The Wisdom text is timely as our nation struggles with immigration reform. The Thessalonians piece is a continuation of that letter's salutation (the beginning of which we heard last week) and it's a gracious compliment from Paul about his readers' reputation in the faith - would that our faith today stood out so boldly for the world around us! The gospel from Matthew gives us the "two great commandments," words we all know, perhaps by heart. We need to be careful lest our familiarity with them lead us to pay them insufficient attention. To ponder these words over and over again is a virtue, not a waste of time.
