Today’s Thoughts: Our readings today remind us of the sacrifices made by many so that we might live out our faith today. In turn we face challenges, struggles and make sacrifices today so that many in the future might live in faith.
Sometimes we make the mistake of thinking that we have it hard, and others have it easy. I am sure that the Israelites looked around at the many nations around them and wonder where God was in their life. They struggled, they had many challenges and at times they suffered greatly. Early Jewish Christians perhaps remember their long history to get to this point and then looked around at the gentiles coming into the Church and wonder why they had it so easy. Our readings today remind us that to be a person, a people of faith, we are going to struggle, face challenges and at times suffered. However, in the midst of living life we also get the chance to treasure the gift of faith handed down to us from all who have gone before us. We are called as people of faith to treasure every opportunity to share our gift of faith freely and promptly with others. So that they too might grow and overcome the challenges, struggles and suffering they encounter. One generation blesses the next. So as you journey in faith today be thankful for those countless others who have gone before you and those countless others who will be blessed with your gift after you! Have a blessed and holy Friday everyone!
