A reflection on the daily readings by Father Perry.
+ O people of God. hear this. God will be your GPS; you will never get lost.
God will be your irrigation and gardener; you will produce much fruit.
God will be your silo; he will store all your grain; not a seed will be lost.
Your flocks — your lambs, goats, asses, oxen — will all be pastured by and in him and be safe and have food, food, food, and even more water, water, water, and light. Oh boy, will you have light!
You will walk in his light; he will be your light, and you will become the people of the light.
+ And now you Gospel people, hear this.
He chose the apostles; he trained the apostles. He sent the apostles out to preach, and heal and minister to his people.
He has called all of you reading this to be his disciples so that you could become apostolic, and he could train and form you in faith and love and send you forth to do his holy work.
He has called all of you to preach and build the kingdom of God, to draw together and unite his people in his love, and that you could look forward to a share in his glorious kingdom forever and ever and ever and ever.
Do you like his plan? Do you plan to be a part of his plan? I, for one, am certainly going to plan on that!
Amen!
