HEIRS APPARENT

“The promise made to Abraham and his descendants that they would inherit the world did not depend on the law; it was made in view of the justice that comes from faith.” –Romans 4:13 Mass Readings: October 21 First: Romans 4:13,16-18; Resp: Psalm 105:6-9,42-43; Gospel: Luke 12:8-12 Listen to the Mass Readings The Lord promised Abraham that he would inherit the world.

KNOW JESUS – NO FEAR

“I say to you who are My friends: Do not be afraid.” –Luke 12:4 Mass Readings: October 20 First: Romans 4:1-8; Resp: Psalm 32:1-2,5,11;Gospel: Luke 12:1-7 Listen to the Mass Readings “You did not receive a spirit of slavery leading you back into fear, but a spirit of adoption” (Rm 8:15). Satan, however, tries to make us lifelong slaves through the fear of death (Heb 2:15).

A prayer in Times of Discouragement

“My soul is weary with sorrow; strengthen me according to Your word. Keep me from deceitful ways; be gracious to me through Your law.” Psalms 119:28-29 To whom do you turn when you feel completely disheartened? Turn to Word of GOD and His commandments. There you will find renewal. Even the psalmist who was weary and “laid low in the dust” (Ps.119:25) found renewal in wanting to know more of GOD and His ways. In the secular and self-assured world, we live in, despair is common. Even when you feel most discouraged, seek God’s help to enable you to fully...

JUST NOW

“He did so to manifest His own justice.” –Romans 3:25 Mass Readings: October 19 First: Romans 3:21-30; Resp: Psalm 130:1-6; Gospel: Luke 11:47-54 Listen to the Mass Readings “Just yesterday, I was just just, just as he was.” The preceding sentence contains grammatically correct English. It shows the many usages of the word “just.” The sentence can be more clearly stated: “As recently as yesterday, I was merely fair, exactly as he was.” The English word “just” is just plain confusing. Similarly, throughout the history of Christianity, most notably from the time of the Protestant Reformation, the words “just,” “justice,”...

“THE QUALITY OF MERCY”

“I have no one with me but Luke.” –2 Timothy 4:11 Mass Readings: October 18 First: 2 Timothy 4:10-17; Resp: Psalm 145:10-13,17-18; Gospel: Luke 10:1-9 Listen to the Mass Readings When Paul wrote his second letter to Timothy, Luke was the only one with him. Although Paul was on trial, everyone had abandoned him (2 Tm 4:16). Luke seems to have had a heart of mercy for the lonely and abandoned. Only in Luke’s Gospel do we meet the penitent woman (Lk 7:37), the good Samaritan (Lk 10:33), the prodigal son (Lk 15:12), Lazarus the beggar (Lk 16:20), the thankful...
