In today’s Responsorial Psalm (Psalm 23: 1-3a, 3b-4,5,6) it is said: “The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. In verdant pastures he gives me repose; beside restful waters he leads me; he refreshes my soul.” | ||
In the Second Reading (Phil. 4: 12-14. 19-20), the apostle Paul said: “… In every circumstance and in all things, I have learned the secret of being well fed and of going hungry, of living in abundance and of being in need. I can do all things in him who strengthens me… My God will fully supply whatever you need, in accord with his glorious riches in Christ Jesus. To our God and Father, glory forever and ever. Amen.” | ||
Reflecting on these verses, amid all the difficulties and challenges that we face in life — including scarcity and poverty—may we be encouraged to carry on by keeping in mind that we have a BIG and GENEROUS God who is our GREAT PROVIDER. —SL |
