13th Sunday after Pentecost 2019
This Sunday has a commemoration of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary and later this week is the feast in honor of her name.  The collect prays for an increase of the theological virtues in us while in the epistle St. Paul instructs us on the reception of great gifts from God.  The Gospel shows the power of faith and the obligation to be grateful to God for His gifts to us.  Finally, we must act on our faith because without charity we will end up in hell, despite our belief in God.
