Blessings and curses abound on the sixth Sunday after Epiphany. We would do well to listen closely to whom the “blessed are”s and the “woe to”s are directed and to find our place in the crowd among those who desire to touch Jesus. The risen Christ stands among us in the mystery of the holy supper with an invitation to live in him and the power to heal us all.

Scripture Reading: Luke 6:17-26, 1 Corinthians 15:12-20
