Wednesday of Week 11 in Ordinary Time 2 Cor 9:6-11Mt 6:1-6,16-18 “…your Father who sees all that is done in secret will reward you” One word that strikes me from today’s Gospel is -- Humility.

12 June, Thursday — “Father Knows Best”
Thursday of Week 10 in Ordinary Time 2 Cor 3:15-4:1,3-6Mt 5:20-26 “But I say this to you” I always chuckle when I come across this verse.
