Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Today’s Gospel is from the “Sermon on the Mount.” Jesus gives strong and lofty ideals to inspire and
guide our living. Today we celebrate World Marriage Day and are reminded that ideal marriages are not
lived on lofty mountaintops, but in the nitty-gritty of everyday life. In their love, mutual sharing and
forgiveness, couples give us a glimpse of the Kingdom of Heaven.
