In today’s Gospel, we hear the story of the sower and we know that “some seed fell on rich soil, and produce fruit, a hundred or sixty or thirty fold.” This week by putting a gift in the St. Vincent de Paul Poor Box, know that together they will produce fruit a hundred fold.
July 9th: Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
In the Gospel today we hear Jesus say: “Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest.
Your gift to the Society of St. Vincent de Paul brings peace to those who are overwhelmed with life’s burdens.
