Respect Life Sunday
Scripture from today's Liturgy of the Word:
Isaiah 5:1-7
Psalm 80:9,12-16,19-20
Philippians 4:6-9
Matthew 21:33-43
A reflection on today's Scripture:
It is good for us to make all our requests known to God.
Let us worry about nothing. Rest in God! Let us tell Him what we think we need. Certainly,
He will show us what we really need to get by. In speaking with God, in telling Him what
we think we need, we will begin to know ourselves better.
In listening to God, we find out more about ourselves. We understand better our concerns
and our problems. Speaking with God helps us to express all that we must express, but it
also helps us to get rid of that which vexes us.
So, in speaking to God, let us turn over our burdens to Him. Yes, He came to relieve us of
the burdens of our everyday life. In speaking with God in prayer, we will begin to commune
with the Peace that surpasses all understanding.
