SATURDAY OF THE TWENTY-EIGHTH WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME - 2021

DAILY HOLY MASS READINGS

The Spirit of truth will be my witness;
and you too will be my witnesses. JN 15:26, 27

ROMANS 4:13,16-18 ©

My Soul's Beloved,

God makes Covenants, He assures us of His love and His faithfulness, but He does not explain Himself, we believe in faith, we take God at His Word even if we do not fully understand, even if what God has said does not come to pass in our lifetime. God's Word is true and at a time of His choosing all He has said He will do. This is the kind of faith that is pleasing to God. Faith such as this moves mountains. This is the kind of faith that renders us pleasing to God.

We are descendants of Abraham. We are the joyful recipients of God's free of faith which is the fulfillment of His promise to him: Though it seemed Abraham’s hope could not be fulfilled, he hoped and he believed, and through doing so he did become the father of many nations exactly as he had been promised: Your descendants will be as many as the stars.

PSALM 105:6-9,42-43 ©

My Soul's Beloved,

This is the third millennium since the fulfillment of God's
Covenant to Abraham in the Person of His Son, You, our Lord, and Savior. 

As children of Abraham, our father in faith, we are counted as his descendants, and just as God promised we are as numerous as the stars in the sky and sand on the shore.

God is true to His promises, the first Covenant made with Abraham is fulfilled and perfected in You - the Father's Covenant of irrevocable love with His children. We have this hope, Lord, that all who call on Abraham as their father in faith will someday come to believe in You who are the fullness of Truth and the fulfillment of every Covenant God made through the ages with His people.
