"God is Faithful in His Promises"

This is the caption from the second reading found in the Office of Readings for this Tuesday, the Thirtieth Week in Ordinary Time. The second reading is a letter to the Corinthians by Saint Clement, pope. The paragraph that stood out for me is this: "In this hope, then, let our hearts be bound fast to him who is faithful in his promises and just in his judgments. He forbade us to tell lies; still less will he himself tell a lie. Nothing is impossible for God except to tell a lie. Then let our faith in him be awakened; let us reflect that everything is close to him" (Liturgy of the Hours, 448). The line in particular, "let our faith in him be awakened," is important during this "Year of Faith." We need to revitalize, renew our faith and this is a wonderful time that God and the Church has given to us. God is faithful in all that He does for us and He asks us to do the same. All things are possible with God and just think how much our faith will grow and be strengthened if we put our entire faith and trust in Him!!! Have a blessed day!!!
