8th Sunday in Ordinary Time (A)


Readings: Isaiah 49.14-15; 1 Corinthians 4.1-5; and Matthew 6.24-34.

Gospel Passage: “Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?

 Meditation:  Jesus invites us to “consider the birds of the air - they neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouse nor barn, and yet God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds.” What holds true for food applies also to clothing and other necessities of life … “consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not clothed like one of these” (Mt. 6: 28). The challenge for each one is to TRUST and believe that we are indeed GREATER than the birds of the air and the lilies of the field!  Visit:  www.badaliyya.blogspot.com
