8th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year A - 27th February, 2011
The readings this weekend are about God’s faithful love and companionship with us, through good times and bad.
At times we may be tempted to wonder if God is with us, but God assures us that he is faithful and loving to us and will never, ever, abandon us or forget us.
As I return from the Holy Land Pilgrimage, I can imagine the scenes of nature that Jesus would have walked around in and preached in.
The Sea of Galilee with abundant fish, the sweet water, the rolling hills, the beautiful olive trees, the many different types of crop and flower. This really is the milk and honey, and so is our own country, even despite the terrible natural disasters that befall various communities at times. But even then, God’s grace inspires people to support and heal and strengthen each other in times of difficulty
In our daily lives, in the events and people of our daily lives, and in the beauty of creation, we know that God is with us and desiring only what is good for us.
May we continue to put our hope and trust in God alwys.
