Thursday of Week 33 in Ordinary Time

God made them out of what did not exist.
And mankind comes into existence in the same way.
We are all on God’s list
But where we are on it , who can say.
Sometimes  suffocating depression comes our way.
We seem surrounded by darkness.
We wonder how long it is worth prolonging our stay.
Whether or not we can bear this heavyness.He said, I will not comply with the kings ordinance.
I obey the ordinance of the law given our ancestors.
We too ask a higher providence.
And  soothing spiritual laws.

But I fear unlike them, we will waiver.
For want of asking God’s  favour.

……..

So will we waiver
Or will we hold firm at end
We just do not know

See 2 Maccabees 7 . This reading , which I’ve posted today was actually taken from the mass readings for Wednesday in Week 33
