Nineteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time – Year C<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Sunday August 11, 2013<\/a>
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Reading 1 WIS 18:6-9<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n

This week\u2019s first reading comes from a very Catholic book. The book of wisdom comes from what is sometimes referred to as the Apocrypha, but we Catholics just say that it is part of the canon of scripture. You won\u2019t find it in most non-Catholic Bibles.<\/p>\n

This book was written approximately one century before the Incarnation of Jesus. At this time there were many that had already lost hope in the coming of the messiah, so the writer of the book of Wisdom continues his common theme of hope.<\/p>\n

He tries to remind everyone that God is faithful. He reminds the people of God that He has provided before as he did in the reading for the Hebrews \u00a0and we can be confident that He will remember His promises.<\/p>\n

Responsorial Psalm \u00a0PS 33:1, 12, 18-19, 20-22<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n

Blessed the people the Lord has chosen to be his own.<\/p>\n

Reading 2 \u00a0HEB 11:1-2, 8-19<\/a>\u00a0or HEB 11:1-2, 8-12<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n

This Sunday\u2019s second reading has two options for length, so the readings you hear at mass may include an additional 7 verses at the end than what you just heard.<\/p>\n

For the next four weeks, we will be hearing from the letter to the Hebrews. It\u2019s a beautiful and rich letter that also curiously comes from an unknown author.<\/p>\n

This reading continues the theme of the first, remember that God is faithful. Just like Moses and the Hebrews in the desert, Abraham was also a great example of fidelity in times when it wasn\u2019t easy to believe or trust.<\/p>\n

Fear is always going to threaten our trust in God, it can be terrifying to realize we\u2019re not in control. Faith shows us that we can trust without fear, for our God is good. His love wills the absolute best for us and ultimately desires eternity with Him in heaven.<\/p>\n

Gospel LK 12:32-48 or<\/a> LK 12:35-40<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n

This Gospel may also include an additional 3 verses before and 8 verses after what you just heard.<\/p>\n

Be ready – that is the theme of this week\u2019s Gospel.<\/p>\n

This readiness shouldn\u2019t come out of fear of what the extended reading refers to as a reserved place for the unfaithful, but rather from an openness to God\u2019s grace. Vigilance is necessary because every day that passes is a day closer, but that shouldn\u2019t bring fear. We hope and long for that day of the wedding feast when we get to be reunited with the Bridegroom, Jesus.<\/p>\n

Question for further reflection:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Where am I holding tight to something that I can release to the care of the Lord? How can I learn to trust God better.<\/p>\n

O Jesus of Divine Mercy, \u00a0we Trust in you.<\/strong><\/p>\n
