12th Week of Ordinary Time C – Wednesday
My dear brothers and sisters, may the Lord in his goodness, give you peace. Our readings today are very sublime and speak to the essence of who we are, who we desire to be, as opposed to what God wishes us to accomplish in our lives. We have a reading from Genesis, wherein we hear of Abraham, the father (Patriarch) of faith, who so pleased God with his trust and his obedience once the Word of the Lord had some to him. Then in the gospel, Jesus speaks about not only the good tree that bears fruit, but the bad tree that bears none. Our lives are a continual examination of where we stand withing these multifaceted characteristics that make up the human person, created in God’s image.
