God I Thirst

First Reading:  Book of Amos 8:4-6.9-12. 

…Yes, days are coming, says the Lord GOD, when I will send famine upon the land: Not a famine of bread, or thirst for water, but for hearing the word of the LORD. 

Then shall they wander from sea to sea and rove from the north to the east In search of the word of the LORD, but they shall not find it. 

Integrity in its Simplest Form

1^st Reading:  Acts 16:11-15

…As she listened, the Lord opened her heart to respond to what Paul was saying.  After she had been baptized, together with her household, she invited us to her house, “If you think I am faithful to the Lord, come and stay at my house.”  And she persuaded us to accept her invitation.

Wisdom and Humility

First Reading – 1 Jn 5:14-21

….. If we know that he hears us whenever we ask, we know that we already have what we asked of him.

A passage of faith that should be claimed especially in times of doubt.  This new year, more than any material wanting, I ask for Wisdom and Humility.  

Anxiety

First Reading – Genesis 18:1-10

It is difficult to believe that Sarah will still get pregnant in her old age, but Abraham held on to God’s promise.  A remarkable faith is what we all need in these trying times.   “There is nothing impossible with God” should be our mantra whenever difficulties and challenges face us.  But the opposite happens when we are faced with tribulations.
