Today's Readings
Liturgical reflection:
The Lord's promises are many: He will feed us 'rich foods' and even destroy the prospects of death's by ripping it in half. He does all of this through His creative words and most of all through the example of His only begotten son, Jesus Christ. It is through Jesus that our human minds and hearts can start to sometimes just tangentially, but at others, contemplatively fathom how great our Lord is and what he promises us here on earth and after this life.
But today's psalm is Psalm 23, and its position in between the first reading and today's gospel shows us how to connect and be a part of the Lord's promises. King David encourages us to 'live in the house of the Lord' all the days of my life.'
We can only do this through our commitment and discipline to constantly trust and commune in the Lord. To do this, we really need a behavior change, a life change to make such a commitment in such a busy, noisy world.

God Bless.
Liturgical reference:
There is a Catholic Church near you...well, for at least most of our readers. The church provides a network of faith that has Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit and God the Father as its greatest common factors. While the church is imperfect, it has stood the tests of time, reformed when necessary and has never watered down or gotten rid of Jesus ministry's teachings. The church feeds, clothes, teaches and provides service work for more of God's children than any other secular organization. There is a certain richness to it that is hard to describe in mere words. It is an experience, with 1000's of ways to receive and experience the joys and bear the crosses of this life.
So, today, find the Catholic Churches in your area. Look at their Mass schedule and then schedule and attend one Mass.
Live in the house of the Lord!
