+ Our beautiful readings today for Mass tell of the tender desire of
our Father God to grasp our hands and to say to us, “Fear not,
I will help you. The afflicted and the needy – I will answer them; I will not
forsake them.”
This desire is not only for
the ancient people of God’s love, but also for any who wish to count themselves
among his family today. He will answer
our prayers; he will not forsake us.
God’s mercy always come to us
by way of other people.
The greatness of John the
Baptist is his total obedience to Christ by which all come to “see, know,
observe, and understand the hand of the Lord.
Let us be willing instruments
in the hands of God today for kindness, gentleness and mercy. There are so many
good people out there who need a little encouragement this day – especially in
the darkened and weary world that we find ourselves in – let us not pass us by
them without a smile, a word and a gesture of helping and care.
I am
your redeemer, says the Lord, the Holy One of Israel.
