18th Sunday in Ordinary Time

R. The hand of the Lord feeds us; he answers all our needs.

Dear brothers and sisters in Jesus,
During Mass, after the Gloria or the Penitential rite, the presiding priest exclaims, ”Let us pray” then makes a gathering in gesture. Do you ever wonder what that means? We call this prayer and gesture, the Collect, which in Latin means ”to gather in”. So what the priest is doing is gathering in the prayers of those present to bring them to God the Father.
The priest then states a prayer from the Roman Missal made through Jesus Christ in communion with the Holy Spirit on behalf of the people.
This Sunday’s Collect is no exception. The words in the prayer are beautiful and beg God to “Draw near... and answer... prayers with unceasing kindness”. And, what follows in the prayer is the realization that God is the Creator and we are His creation. What also is made clear is Creation due to sin can disintegrate and God the Father can restore His creation and also protect it too.
Taking this prayer and the Second Reading from St. Paul we understand, that with God we need not worry, for nothing will separate us from the love of Christ.
My prayer for you this week is that God reminds you of His love for you, and that you have nothing to be afraid of knowing God’s providential care.
Peace in Jesus,
Fr. Joe
