Who is Jesus Christ? Who is God? And who is my neighbor? All questions that Scripture talks about in today’s readings. You might try answering them first for yourself, then hear what the readings and commentary tell us.

What will heaven be like? As it says in Scripture, Eye has not seen and ear has not heard. That doesn’t keep us from imagining it, and we hear part of Isaiah’s vision of it in our first reading. In the Gospel, Jesus sends his disciples out to cast out demons. How do we respond to temptation today? What can we learn from today’s readings and commentary?

Today is one of those days where the Liturgical Calendar is different this year than most others. We celebrate Sts. Peter and Paul today, yet there is no Sunday readings in the Cycle for that feast. Consequently, the readings you hear at Mass will not correspond to what I’m going to present to you today. Since there is nothing in Dr. Kreeft’s book for today, and next week is the 14th Sunday in Ordinary Time, I’ll present the 13th Sunday in Ordinary Time readings and commentary today. My apologies for any confusion, but know that if you do listen to today’s podcast AND the readings on Sunday, you’ll certainly be extra blessed!
