Reflecting on the 26th Sunday in ordinary time (part 1)


Where we have come from (readings for Sunday 29th September):

Amos 6.1, 4-7
Psalm 146
1 Timothy 5.6-19
Luke 16.19-31


Readings for today

Psalm 62
Amos 6.8-14
Revelation 3.14-22

thought for today

The psalmist encourages not to trust in extortion. We make think that we would do nothing of the sort. But we do, all too often, put our trust in financial packages and products, even if they are ethical, rather than in God. Are we among the 'complacent' described by Amos and John the Divine? O Lord help us to put our whole trust in you, our rock and salvation; and to share as we are able with all your peoples.
