Ss Cornelius & Cyprian. 1 Timothy 3:1-13. I will walk with blameless heart – Ps 100(101):1-3, 5, 6. Luke 7:11-17.
Hope for change
I read today’s First Reading and thought, ‘Oh, if only all leaders were like that. What a wonderful world we would have. If we had leaders like that, no one would be left out. There would be a place for everyone, and people would understand each other better.’ Now, I’ve just got back from a retreat with the theme of ‘Hope’, and I am naturally a hopeful person. I believe that most people are inherently good and caring. But I do feel despair when I see the powerful prosper at the expense of the vulnerable. The thing is, we have allowed this to happen to our world. We have not spoken up enough. It is time to call out injustice every time. To show a world that is hurting that there is hope for change. Then we will be the leaders that Paul calls us to be.
