Ephesians 6:10-20. Blessed be the Lord, my Rock! – Ps 143(144):1-2, 9-10. Luke 13:31-35.
Take on the armour of God
It’s not an easy thing to be a Christian. So often this is a path of persecution, of being misunderstood, of needing to tolerate sneering insults and barely concealed barbs. You can’t walk the way of the cross without getting crucified a few times along the way.
Today’s Gospel reminds us that this is the nature of discipleship. It’s tempting to drift from this path, to embrace the status quo and be invisible. Instead, the first reading reminds us to take on the armour of God, to remember the strength of the Lord and the might of his power. Being a Christian is not always easy. But we have the Lord on our side.
