June 17, 2021 - Thursday of the Eleventh Week in Ordinary Time (Fr. Patrick Carr)

2 Corinthians 11:1-11 • Matthew 6:7-15

Saint Paul speaks of our "betrothal" to Christ, a "sincere and pure commitment to Christ" that withstands all temptation. This union with Jesus, which may seem to be "foolishness," enables us to speak to God in a new way: "Our Father." We now call upon the Lord with the love and affection of a son or daughter.
