Thirty-Third Tuesday of Ordinary Time

“Today salvation has come to this house because this man too is a descendant of Abraham.  For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save what was lost.”

When we trust in God’s Will and act in accord with it, we become true descendants of Abraham. It is one thing to think and say we believe, but quite another to act on our faith when we have doubts and fears. However, being Disciples of Christ means we must put aside our own insecurities and sense of unworthiness and take up the challenge to live Christ-like lives. We might not do so perfectly, but as long as we struggle to do good and avoid evil and repent for our failures, then we shall be able to answer God’s call when it comes and be saved.

Do we trust God’s Will? How can we place ourselves in the path of Jesus? Are our hearts open to responding to the call of Christ?

O Lord, bring salvation to our homes.

Amen.
