23rd Sunday of OT. "Where two or three are gathered in my name." From Pope Benedict XVI:
"God is love." The faith of the Church, in its entirety, is founded on this solid rock. In particular, the patient pursuit of full communion among all of Christ's disciples is based upon it: By fixing one's gaze on this truth, summit of divine revelation, it seems possible to overcome divisions and not to be discouraged, even though they continue to be gravely serious."

22nd Sunday of O.T. Taking up the cross of Christ. From St. Augustine:
"What we love indicates the sort of people we are, and therefore making a decision about this should be our one concern in choosing a way of life. Why be surprised if people who set their hearts on Christ and want to follow him renounce themselves out of love? If we lose ourselves through self-love we must surely find ourselves through self-renunciation."

21st Sunday of O.T. St. Peter's confession, "Your are Christ, the Son of the living God." From Pope Francis:
"Those who confess Jesus know that they are not simply to offer opinions but to offer their very lives. They know that they are not to believe half-heartedly but to “be on fire” with love."

20th Sunday of OT. The Canaanite woman. From Pope Benedict XVI.
"Faith opens us to knowing and welcoming the real identity of Jesus, his newness and oneness, his word, as a source of life, in order to live a personal relationship with him.... Faith responds to a Person who wants to enter into a relationship of deep love with us and to involve our whole life."

9th Sunday in OT. St. Peter walks on the water. From St. Augustine:
"Think of this world as a sea, whipped up to tempestuous heights by violent winds. If you love God you will have power to walk upon the waters, and all the world’s swell and turmoil will remain beneath your feet. If you feel your foot slipping beneath you, if you become a prey to doubt or realize that you are losing control, if, in a word, you begin to sink, say: Lord, I am drowning, save me!

18th Sunday of OT. The multiplication of the loaves and fishes. From St. Pope John Paul II:
"From the Sunday Mass there flows a tide of charity destined to spread into the whole life of the faithful, beginning by inspiring the very way in which they live the rest of Sunday. If Sunday is a day of joy, Christians should declare by their actual behavior that we cannot be happy 'on our own.' They look around to find people who may need their help."

17th Sunday of OT. The Pearl of Great Price. From Pope Francis:
"Those who find [the treasure] have no doubts, they sense that this is what they have been seeking and waiting for; and this is what fulfills their most authentic aspirations. To seek Jesus, to find Jesus: this is the great treasure!"

16th Sunday of O.T. The parable of the good grain and the weeds. From Pope Francis:
"God knows how to wait. With patience and mercy he gazes into the “field” of life of every person; he sees much better than we do the filth and the evil, but he also sees the seeds of good and waits with trust for them to grow. God is patient, he knows how to wait. This is so beautiful: our God is a patient father, who always waits for us and waits with his heart in hand to welcome us, to forgive us. He always forgives us if we go to him."
