Readings
First:Genesis 37:1-4, 12-28 - Joseph's brothers hated him and conspired to kill him while they were minding sheep. Reuben convinced them to simply put him in a pit. They they met some Ishmaelites headed for Egypt, and instead sold Joseph to them as a slave.
OR I Kings 19:9, 11-13 - Elijah experiences God's power on the mountain, through wind, earthquake, fire and gentle breeze.
Psalm 84 - Let us see O Lord, your mercy and give us your saving help / I will hear what the Lord God has to say / Mercy and faithfulness have met / The Lord will make us prosper.
Second: Romans 10: 5-15 - Paul notes that "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved." But asks - how are they to call on one in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in one of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone to proclaim him? - asking "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!"
Gospel: Matthew 14: 22-33 - Jesus walks on the water.
