neighborhood and delivered the food to the poor has
moved away. Many thanks to everyone for your
generous donations.

Gospel for the 6th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Jesus said to his disciples: "I tell you, unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees,
you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.
"You have heard that it was said to your ancestors,
You shall not kill; and whoever kills will be liable to judgment. But I say to you, whoever is angry with brother
will be liable to judgment.
"You have heard that it was said, You shall not commit
adultery. But I say to you, everyone who looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in
his heart.
"Again you have heard that it was said to your ancestors,
Do not take a false oath, but make good to the Lord all
that you vow. But I say to you, do not swear at all.
Let your 'Yes' mean 'Yes,' and your 'No' mean 'No.'
Anything more is from the evil one."
[Matthew 5:20-22A, 27-28, 33-24A, 37]
