TWENTY-FOURTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME September 16, 2018 The Lord GOD is my help, therefore I am not disgraced. ~ Isaiah 50:7 Often when we read the Prophets or the Psalms, we place ourselves in the first person narrative. It is easy to pray a psalm that speaks to something we ourselves are suffering or experiencing. But today's prophecy from Isaiah cannot mean anything but a prophecy of Jesus and his suffering. The Psalm as well could apply to our suffering, but applies better as a prophecy of Jesus' suffering and death. In the letter of James, we are chided to accompany our faith with works. "So also faith of itself, if it does not have works, is dead." We are urged to reach out from our faith, the gift of God, to go further into good works to those who suffer. If we reach out to those who need our help, we are truly fulfilling our faith in Christ. Copyright (c) 2005, World Library Publications. All rights reserved.
