Mass Readings – 33rd Sunday of the Year
The Gospel today reminds us that when tough times happen in our lives we:
- Do not fear
- Trust in God’s wisdom
- Persevere
While it is not always easy to do, we know that the Lord will help us face our difficult moments with a power that is greater than our own.
