Twelfth Sunday of Ordinary Time, Cycle A

Sunday, June 25, 2023

Matthew 10:26-33
Jesus assures the Twelve that God cares about them.

We read in next Sunday’s Gospel in the context of last week’s Gospel in which Jesus sent the twelve disciples to proclaim the kingdom of heaven. In between last week’s reading and today’s reading, Jesus has predicted that the disciples will face difficulties in their mission. Jesus tells the disciples that God knows, loves, and protects them. Jesus tells us we do not need to be afraid because the Father knows us and cares for us.
