July 31, 2014: St. Ignatius of Loyola, priest
Readings
- Jer 18:1-6 Jeremiah: When the object turned out badly, the potter tried again. Lord: "Can I not do to you as this potter has done? Like clay in the hand of the potter, so are you in my hand."

| Potter's hands at work with words of today's readings |
- Ps 146:1b-6ab "Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob." Praise the Lord. Don't trust people in whom there's no salvation. God made heaven and earth.
- Mt 13:47-53 “The Kingdom is like a net that collects fish. When it's full they haul it in, put what's good into buckets, and throw out the rest. At the end of the age, angels will separate the wicked from the righteous and throw them into the furnace.... Every scribe instructed in the Kingdom is like one who brings from his storeroom both the new and the old.”
- Prayer intentions for August: Pray for refugees, forced by violence to abandon their homes, that they find welcome and protection of their rights. On TV we see Gaza but not how Christians are suffering in Syria and Iraq, and the international community hasn't solved it. May the Lord change hearts. We're poor, but the poor can change the world!
