St Justin
2 Peter 1:2-7. In you, my God, I place my trust – Ps 90(91):1-2, 14-16. Mark 12:1-12.
In you, my God, I place my trust
For St Ignatius of Loyola, Scripture is both a toolbox and a treasure chest. Every story is an opportunity to imagine yourself within the world of the characters and to develop your own personal relationship with God.
Every line of Scripture, too, can be a vehicle for prayer and connection. Today’s Psalm response offers a wonderful example. Take five minutes in a quiet place and let those words slowly repeat in your mind: ‘In you, my God, I place my trust. In you, my God, I place my trust.’ If you can, let the words be a moment of respite for you. You don’t have to do anything, feel anything, say anything. You can just sit here, letting that response drift through your mind, and rest.
