About Today Readings

St Charles Lwanga & Cc

2 Timothy 1:1-3, 6-12. To you, O Lord, I lift up my eyes – Ps 122(123):1-2. Mark 12:18-27.

I know who it is that I have put my trust in

I can put my trust in so many things – technology, the economic system, certain sources of news. But where is my ultimate trust? Can I say, with Paul, that I really know who I have put my trust in, both in this life and beyond? When St Charles Lwanga and his companions were killed for the faith, they witnessed to that absolute trust. In small ways, also, I can claim my own trust in God rather than in passing and fragile things. Perhaps then, when everything in my world goes wrong, I can survive and even thrive with trust in God. We can fan the flame of faith with our trust – both of which are God’s gifts. Let us pray today for greater trust in God.
