July 30 – Anything But Ordinary: Jacob Marries Leah & Rachel
Jacob who has been the trickster is tricked but deceit does not have the last word. In today’s gospel Jesus offers everyday images that reveal to us the reign of God: a tree that becomes a sheltering home, yeast that expands, a treasured pearl, a net that gains a great catch.

Genesis 29: 15-28 and Matthew 13: 31-33, 44-52
