Jeremiah 17:5-10
Psalm 1:1-4,6
Luke 16:19-31
TRUSTING IN GOD TILL THE END
Both the first reading (Jer 17:5-10) and the Psalm (Ps 1) emphasize trusting in God alone for salvation. In Luke 16:19-31, Jesus tells of Lazarus, a poor man, and a rich man whose wealth made him indifferent to others’ plight and dignity.
The readings urge us to choose to live by God’s law, believe in Him, and see Christ in everyone. Lazarus, despite suffering, hoped in God and received his reward. Reflect on your daily focus and ask God to increase your desire for heaven and generosity with His gifts. May God make us rich in heaven and give us a generous heart to share His treasures. Amen.
