(Part two of two)  “Open our hearts, O Lord, to listen to the words of your Son” (See Acts 16:14b), not a bad idea that 😊.  As Jesus puts it on this day of transition, “then (i.e. after 10:00 a.m. Central time this morning) every scribe who has been instructed in the Kingdom of Heaven (that is us, though, admittedly, some of that instruction has not taken very well, particularly with those who disagree with me 😊) is like the head of a household who brings from his storeroom both the new and the old” (Matthew 13:53).  Liturgy of the Word, Reading 404, Thursday of the Seventeenth Week in Ordinary Time I.
