DAILY HOLY MASS READINGS
Christ took away our infirmities
and bore our diseases. Mt 8:17
Genesis 18:1-15, Luke 1:46-50 & 53-55, Matthew 8:5-17
Genesis 18:1-15
Dear Love,
There is much we learn in today's first reading. We are called to welcome the stranger, offer hospitality, and give only the best we have. We are called to give generously and gladly without counting the cost only such giving carries with it a reward from God for Your Word says that You love a generous giver. You accept every act of charity as done to Yourself.
Once the men of God had eaten it was time to grant Abraham and Sarah what God had promised, a son. They had waited long years for the fulfillment of this promise and now they were both old, and Sarah was long past her child bearing years. But we see that with God nothing is impossible. Sarah laughed, to her the prophecy was hilarious and ridiculous for humanly speaking what they said was beyond the realm of reality. When the men of God asked why she had laughed, she lied and said he didn't, but they were assured that she would indeed bear a son at the same time the following year.
