Suffering is not a punishment from God. Rather, today's Gospel (John 9) shows us that Jesus is with us during hard times bringing about some good. Discovering what Jesus is doing during this pandemic will take time. A good way to start understanding this extraordinary situation is by consciously recognizing some blessing that happens each day.
The right pitch of prayer (Lk 18:8-14)
Today's Gospel (Lk 18:9-14) teaches us that there are types of prayer that God hears better than others. God hears the prayers of those who cry out in their suffering and need. Now is a time to pray.
Hospitality and Genesis 18
The encounter Abraham and Sarah have with their heavenly guests in Genesis 18 is narrated in a fascinating way and conveys an important message. The text teaches us about the power of God and therefore should give us hope. In addition, the passage reminds us of the need to provide hospitality and care to others, those we know as well as strangers. As we read in Hebrews 13:2, "Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares."
