This morning the first reading for today's liturgy from Sirach and supported by the Psalm Response encourages us to turn everything over to God, and he will help us: "Commit your life to the Lord and he will help you." (Ps 37 5). Another translation reads: "Commit your way to the Lord and he will act." Ben Sirach writes: "Trust God and God will help you;/ trust in him and he will direct your way;/ keep his fear (respect) and grow old therein." (Sir 2:6)
Further advice:
You who fear the Lord, wait for his mercy,
turn not away lest you fall.
You who fear the Lord, trust him,
and your reward will not be lost.
You who fear the Lord, hope for good things, for lasting joy and mercy.
You who fear the Lord, love him,
and your hearts will be enlightened. (Sir 2: 7-9)
May we all find nourishment in these wise suggestions and live our day in peace, knowing that God cares for us more than we care for ourselves.
