St. Ignatius of Antioch Pray for us
First Reading: (Romans 4:1–8)“Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”
Responsorial Psalm: (Psalm 32:1–2, 5, 11)
R. I turn to you, Lord, in time of trouble, and you fill me with the joy of salvation.
Alleluia: (Psalm 33:22)
May your mercy, O Lord, be upon us, as we place our trust in you.
Gospel: (Luke 12:1–7)
Reflection
In the Gospel, Jesus contrasts fear and faith. He reminds us that God’s care extends even to the smallest creatures, not a single sparrow is forgotten. If God values them so deeply, how much more are we, made in His image, cherished and protected?
The message is clear: faith, not fear, should guide us. Like Abraham, we are called to trust God completely, not in our works or appearances, but in His mercy and love. God’s attention to detail in creation is proof that He knows and values every moment of our lives.
So when we feel insignificant or unseen, let us remember: even the hairs of our heads are counted, and our worth is immeasurable in God’s sight.
God bless you
Happy Friday
Pal Ronnie
