10th Sunday after Pentecost

Besides learning about Saints Anne and James the Greater, we hear about the 14 Holy Martyrs who are invoked for a variety of needs and were especially implored for aid during the black death.  From the Epistle the Holy Ghost through St. Paul teaches us about the charisms in the Church.  From the Gospel about the Pharisee and the Publican we are taught about the importance of humility and of not depending on self as Pelagians do.
