The 19th Sunday of the Year
Wis 18:6-9; Heb 11:1-2 & 8-19; Lk 12:32-48 (Year C)
"Our soul is waiting for the Lord. The Lord is our help and our shield. May your love be upon us, O Lord, as we place all our hope in you.”
The responsorial psalm at this Sunday’s Mass calls us to watchfulness, a patient “waiting for the Lord”. Such waiting springs from the hope that the Lord who has called us stands ready to reveal himself in each and every moment of our lives.
Such was the hope of the tribes of Israel as God called them from the slavery of Egypt. Trusting in God, they entrusted themselves to the blessings and dangers of the journey that lay ahead.
