TOPIC: HOW CAN WE LEARN TO SEE FAITH AND GOODNESS IN THOSE WE MIGHT USUALLY OVERLOOK?
First Reading: First Corinthians 11: 17-26, 33
Responsorial Psalm: Psalms 40: 7-8a, 8b-9, 10, 17
Alleluia: John 3: 16
Gospel: Luke 7: 1-10
In our prayer time today, let us allow today's gospel to remind us that faith can be found even in unexpected places and people. Even those who aren't seen as part of your group. The Lord works in mysterious ways, and we should be open, like Jesus, to recognizing faith in everyone, even from those we do not expect. In our opening story, Saint Cornelius and the centurion in the gospel embody the idea that one's background or past mistakes do not limit true faith and righteousness. They remind us that God's grace is not limited by our perceptions or judgments, but is available to all who seek it with a sincere heart.
This is the 1607th installment of our CFC contemplation series focusing on the daily liturgical readings.
[NOTE: Let us listen to our brother Eric Villanueva, Mission Head for CFC Europe and the Americas, as he brings us today's reflection.
All the regular reflections are between 3-7 minutes long, enough time for us to ponder what God's message is for us individually and to pray that we may live them out in our lives. This video is also available on Couples for Christ’s Facebook page. In You Tube, just type ONLY BY GRACE REFLECTIONS]
