Thirtieth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Scripture from today's Liturgy of the Word:
Jeremiah 31:7-9
Psalm 126:1-6
Hebrews 5:1-6
Mark 10:46-52
A reflection on today's Sacred Scripture:
The blind man replied to him, "Master, I want to see."
Jesus told him, "Go your way; your faith has saved you."
Immediately he received his sight and followed Him on the way.
The fact that we are a people of Faith keeps us on the path of salvation. Having Faith in things unseen opens our minds up to the wondrous possibilities and opportunities in our lives. Our Christian Faith enables us to reflect important values in the real world, allowing us to create a better world in the here and now. Our Faith and how we live our lives in accordance with that, automatically brings about a better world. The firmer our Christian Faith, the more our lives will be a reflection of our innermost beliefs. Often we might ask: what difference can I make in the world? By having a firm Faith, everything and anything is possible!
Today, let us ask the Lord to strengthen our Faith, recognising that His plans for us are always for our good even if they don't seem that way at the time. Remember He is making a wonderful tapestry of our lives and now we have only a glimpse of what the end product will be!
