12th Sunday in Ordinary Time
First reading – Jeremiah 20:10-13
In the midst of terror from every side, the prophet feels this, “the Lord is at my side, a mighty hero”. This is the confidence of one who believe in the Lord. You may hear lots of rumors. You may face lots of challenges. You may have to endure difficulties, but you arrive at the same conclusion, “the Lord is at my side, a mighty hero”. The difficulties will vanish. The rumors will disappear. The challenges will be overcome. All this because the one who believes in the Lord trusts in the Lord and not in anything else. The Lord will defend the one who have committed his or her cause to Him. The point is to confide in the Lord in all these moments. We must just praise the Lord and thank Him. No need of panic. Let’s reflect: Before challenges, am I panicking or arriving at the conclusion that the Lord is at my side, a mighty hero”?
