January 20 - Homily for Today

+ Our readings today are about the fruit of trust, but not just any trust, here we speak of trust in the Lord God. The first consideration is obvious: why would anyone not trust God, of all things? “Trust no man,” is a common scriptural theme; but so too is put all your trust in the Lord – and he will sustain you.

David (in our first reading today) put his trust in the Lord and he was victorious over the giant Philistine (Goliath). The man with a withered hand trusted in Jesus and found himself cured of his malady.

May the fruit of our trust in the Lord be seen today in the good that happens to people around us, by means of us: may giant problems be resolved, and may withered parts of us be renewed; as we restate our love for him and our hope in him now, that all will truly be well because there is no one else for any of us to rely on totally!


Blessed be the Lord, my Rock!
