Reflection for the Thirty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time

by Rod & Connie Determan, Notre Dame Associates

The readings over the past couple of weeks have been deep in meaning. It would be easy to take the message of the gospel and feel like this is our world today: wars, famines, earthquakes, and hatred. There seems to be so much hatred and divisiveness in our world.

But Jesus teaches us to not be terrified and continue to lean on Him. We continue to sing praise to the Lord so we can continue to find Him in our every day. Seek gratitude in everything we do – He is present in our lives working everyday miracles. He will keep His promise “a hair of your head shall not perish”. He will give us wisdom – keep looking to Him and keep Him close to your hearts.
