Welcome to the Catholic Parishes in Duntocher & Faifley
19th Sunday in Ordinary Time
‘You also must be ready …’
Today’s readings remind us that since God has chosen us as his own, we must always be ready to answer his call – whenever and wherever it comes.
The First Reading reminds us of the night of the Passover, when the Jewish people were called to place their trust in the God who would deliver them from captivity in Egypt.
The Psalm celebrates all those who, like us, have been chosen by God to receive the blessings that will protect and save us.
In the Second Reading we read that faith – the assurance of things hoped for – is what enables us all to believe in the promises of God. Faith sustains us in watching and waiting for the Lord’s presence.
In the Gospel, Jesus speaks to us of the importance of staying awake. We must be ready to receive his call to serve others in the way that he himself showed us throughout his life.
As Pilgrims of Hope in this Jubilee Year, we pray that we will be more attentive, and respond more generously to the needs of those who are unable to share in the blessings that God has bestowed on our world.

For mutual coexistence
Let us pray that societies where coexistence seems more difficult might not succumb to the temptation of confrontation for ethnic, political, religious or ideological reasons.
