   For the 14th Sunday After Pentecost

   A podcast to invest in all those readers of Scripture—especially those proclaiming the Gospel in their faith communities. Each week we’ll read the Gospel text as set out by the Revised Common Lectionary and then offer what may be beneficial and formational for the reader. Commenting with 1) aid in pronunciation if needed; 2) an exploration of context and curiosities connected with the reading; 3) offering one of many possible views of what may be essential in the text; 4) consideration of the passage’s emotional tone and how this specific text may be read well and thus heard in a life-giving way; and  finally, 5) closing with a prayer, poem, or some other piece that emerges in connection with our Gospel reading. All this to offer greater familiarity and a deeper, inner connection with the Scripture—which is transforming us into a more fertile ground for the Spirit to be transforming us and our community further into Christlikeness. May we have the mind of Christ. Get full access to For the Readers at forthereaders.substack.com/subscribe (https://forthereaders.substack.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=CTA_4)

   For the 5th Week of Ordinary Time

   A Few Things… First, there is, I think, something of my letting this Gospel reading germinate in me that allowed me to live at a pace where this meditation is being posted so late: my apologies, and thank you for your graciousness. Second, the image for this post is a hand lettering of Matthew 11:29-30 by Kim Isaak—a spiritual director, spiritual director supervisor, and inner-focusing teacher. You can find her work at KeepingCompany.org (http://KeepingCompany.org). If you’re looking for a spiritual director or to learn about inner-focusing (https://focusing.org/sixsteps) I would commend you to Kim. Proper 9, for Sunday July 9, 2023Matthew 11:16-19; 25-30 “But to what will I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling to one another, ‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we wailed, and you did not mourn.’ For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon’; the Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Look, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ Yet wisdom is vindicated by her deeds.” At that time Jesus said, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and the intelligent and have revealed them to infants; yes, Father, for such was your gracious will.All things have been handed over to me by my Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him. “Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” Get full access to For the Readers at forthereaders.substack.com/subscribe (https://forthereaders.substack.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=CTA_4)

   Considering Matthew 9:35-10:8, this weeks Gospel reading according the Revised Common Lectionary (https://lectionary.library.vanderbilt.edu/texts.php?id=146#gospel_reading). Some of the questions we consider: - What is the Kingdom of Heaven? - What does it mean to be sent people? - Pronunciation of two unfamiliar names—“Alphaeus” and “Cananaean”?- Disciples, 12 Disciples, 12 Apostoles: how many groups is Jesus addressing here.- We close with a chanted form of Psalm 116, this weeks assigned Psalm (https://lectionary.library.vanderbilt.edu/texts.php?id=146#psalm_reading).

    A Poem for Matthew 9:9-13 daniel lukas God hungers not for food from our table Christ is born all the hungry to include. Spirit proclaiming: “all come as you are able You with no money, come, buy unspooling food.” “What keeps you away, the provision you pieced The autonomous success you achieved. Your hunger, your ticket to enter the feast Your admittance, your admission of need.” Get full access to For the Readers at forthereaders.substack.com/subscribe (https://forthereaders.substack.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=CTA_4)
