Readings of the Day
RB: Ch 15 When the Alleluia Should Be Said
Mass: Ep 1:11-14; Resp Ps 33; Lk 12:1-7

Not one of them has escaped the notice of God.

Our Lord loves each and every one of us, without exception, for 'the love of God has been poured into our hearts through the holy Spirit that has been given to us' (Rm 5:5). May we take His words to heart: 'Do not be afraid.'

Blessed the people the Lord has chosen to be his own.

Exult, you just, in the Lord;
praise from the upright is fitting.
Give thanks to the Lord on the harp;
with ten-stringed lyre chant his praises.

Blessed the people the Lord has chosen to be his own.

For upright is the word of the Lord,
and all his works trustworthy.
He loves justice and right;
of the kindness of the Lord the earth is full.

Blessed the people the Lord has chosen to be his own.

Blessed the nation who God is the Lord,
the people he has chosen for his own inheritance.
From the heaven the Lord looks down;
he sees all of humanity.

Blessed the people the Lord has chosen to be his own.
(Resp Ps 33)

The leaven of Christians is the Holy Spirit that allows us to grow amidst the difficulties of the journey, but always with hope.
