THE FIRST READING: READER:
A Reading from the Word of God written in the Genesis Chapter 22 beginning at the 1st verse.
After these things God tested Abraham. He said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am.” He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains that I shall show you.” So Abraham rose early in the morning, saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and his son Isaac; he cut the wood for the burnt offering, and set out and went to the place in the distance that God had shown him. On the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place far away. Then Abraham said to his young men, "Stay here with the donkey; the boy and I will go over there; we will worship, and then we will come back to you.” Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on his son Isaac, and he himself carried the fire and the knife. So the two of them walked on together. Isaac said to his father Abraham, "Father!" And he said, "Here I am, my son." He said, "The fire and the wood are here, but where is the lamb for a burnt !3
offering?” Abraham said, "God himself will provide the lamb for a burnt offering, my son." So the two of them walked on together. When they came to the place that God had shown him, Abraham built an altar there and laid the wood in order. He bound his son Isaac, and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood. Then Abraham reached out his hand and took the knife to kill his son. But the angel of the LORD called to him from heaven, and said, "Abraham, Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am.” He said, "Do not lay your hand on the boy or do anything to him; for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me.” And Abraham looked up and saw a ram, caught in a thicket by its horns. Abraham went and took the ram and offered it up as a burnt offering instead of his son.So Abraham called that place "The LORD will provide"; as it is said to this day, "On the mount of the LORD it shall be provided."

THE EPISTLE READER:
A Reading from the Word of God written in Romans Chapter 6 beginning at the 12th verse.
Therefore, do not let sin exercise dominion in your mortal bodies, to make you obey their passions. No longer present your members to sin as instruments of wickedness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and present your members to God as instruments of righteousness. For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace. What then? Should we sin because we are not under law !4
but under grace? By no means! Do you not know that if you present yourselves to anyone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness? But thanks be to God that you, having once been slaves of sin, have become obedient from the heart to the form of teaching to which you were entrusted, and that you, having been set free from sin, have become slaves of righteousness. I am speaking in human terms because of your natural limitations. For just as you once presented your members as slaves to impurity and to greater and greater iniquity, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness for sanctification. When you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. So what advantage did you then get from the things of which you now are ashamed? The end of those things is death. But now that you have been freed from sin and enslaved to God, the advantage you get is sanctification. The end is eternal life. For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Reader: ALL:
Here ends the Reading Thanks be to God.
THE HOLY GOSPEL The Lord be with you. And also with you. A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew Glory to Christ our Saviour.

Jesus said, ”Whoever welcomes you welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me. Whoever welcomes a prophet in the name of a prophet will receive a prophet's reward; and whoever welcomes a righteous person in the name of a righteous person will receive the reward of the righteous; and whoever gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones in the name of a disciple -- truly I tell you, none of these will lose their reward." The Gospel of Christ Praise to Christ our Lord

In an article entitled, “Good old Summertime? Pastoral Aestivation�, Seward Hiltner (19091 1984) raised the question, as to how religious ministers spend their summers. Hiltner correctly suggested that some spend the summer time on the job while others took the opportunity for rest and recreation. Religious ministers like those who follow the various occupation require times of rest and refreshment whether they travel overseas or remain in the residence and take in the local cultural entertainment product. The challenge with the latter is that so long as one is seen; there is the assumption that one is at work and is available for appointments and various pastoral engagements. That particular outlook is rather fallible, for in order to serve effectively we all require moments as we would say to rest and to recharge. Clergy tend to love their work and find tremendous satisfaction in carrying out their daily duties. In research carried out by Hiltner, it suggested that most clergy return to work before the allotted vacation time ends. Holiday is good for all of us and as far back as Easter Week members of he congregation have been indicating that their annual travel time had started. !7
This is indeed wonderful as persons get to visit their relatives, renew acquaintances, have a change in scene, explore new cultures and languages and participate in the sacred liturgy in other congregations. By the end of the week our Primary and Secondary School children will be on the long summer holiday. We wish them, their teachers, principals and school administrators a safe and happy vacation. We pray God’s mercies on those who travel and look forward to their safe return. May God almighty bless us at this annual holiday time, giving us ready and faith hearts that we may serve him.

HEALTH CORNER: BY SOPHIA MARSHALL, Ph.d Suzette: “Oh boy, I got some air in my stomach!” Granny Pearl: “Come child! Let me give yuh some garlic!” Every Barbadian at some time in their lives has been advised to take garlic for some ailment. However, are there any benefits to incorporating garlic in your diet? Let’s take a look at some scientific findings: ➢
Garlic contains a sulphur compound known as allicin, which is responsible for the distinct garlic smell. Allicin enters the body from the digestive tract and travels throughout the body, where it exerts its potent biological effects.1
➢
Garlic is low in calories and very rich in Vitamin C, Vitamin B6 and Manganese. It also contains trace amounts of various other nutrients.2
➢
Garlic supplementation is known to boost the function of the immune system. A study found that a high dose of garlic extract (2.56 grams per day) can reduce the number of days sick with cold or flu by 61%.3
➢
Human studies have found garlic supplementation to have a significant impact on reducing blood pressure in people with high blood pressure.4
➢
Garlic supplementation seems to reduce total and LDL cholesterol, particularly in those who have high cholesterol. HDL cholesterol and triglycerides do not seem to be affected.5
