Wednesday of week 30 in Ordinary Time
Reading: Romans 8:26-30
Saint Paul’s words in Romans 8 are among the most consoling in all of Scripture: “We know that all things work for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose.” This is not a promise that everything will be easy or pleasant, but that in every circumstance, joyful or painful, God’s loving hand is at work, weaving grace into the fabric of our lives. The Holy Spirit, Paul says, even intercedes for us when we do not know how to pray, transforming our weakness into communion with God’s will. This truth invites us to look at our lives with eyes of faith: nothing is wasted in God’s plan. Every cross, delay, or disappointment can become a path toward holiness when embraced with trust. To love God is to allow Him to transform every moment into an instrument of good. Let’s reflect: Do I truly trust that God can bring good even out of my struggles and uncertainties, allowing His purpose to shape my life more than my own plans?
