Thursday of week 21 in Ordinary Time
First reading – 1 Thessalonians 3:7-13
“Brothers, your faith has been a great comfort to us in the middle of our own troubles and sorrows; now we can breathe again, as you are still holding firm in the Lord”. Our faith in Jesus Christ can be a great comfort for others in their own troubles and sorrows. This is very important aspect of our spiritual communion with others. When we have faith, when we grow in faith, the people around us find in us the strength of faith. The strength of faith which will be manifested in our daily life, in our attitude and in our approaches. This strength of faith in God is a great comfort for others around us because with this strength we generate hope, we radiate light, and we love others. This will become a great comfort for them in the middle of their own troubles and sorrows. Let’s reflect: Is the strength of my faith in the Lord, a comfort for others in the middle of their sorrows?
