Nineteenth Sunday
August 04, 2019•
In faith, we are called to believe. To believe so completely, that it effects the way we live our lives. That's exactly what Jesus is talking about in the Gospel today. Saying, "If you believe Me, if you have faith in Me, then you'll do what I've commanded you. You'll follow my teachings, the Sacraments, the life of grace that I've given you. The way of life that I've taught you ... and you'll be ready for me when I come. Because I'm coming. Just like in Egypt however many thousands of years ago, I am coming to judge the earth. And I won't just kill the firstborn this time. Everyone will be judged."
Wis 18:6-9, Ps 33:1, 12, 18-19, 20-22, Heb 11:1-2, 8-19, Lk 12:32-48
