Let’s review some of the themes that we find in the Mass readings for the 27th Sunday of the Year.
1st Reading – Habakkuk 1:2-3, 2:2-4
The prophet calls out to God for help amid violence, misery and destruction.God responds with a call to faith, for all things will come to fulfillment in the proper time.“If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.”We come before the Lord with joyful worship and open hearts.2nd Reading – 2nd Timothy 1:6-8,13-14
We stir into flame the gift of God that brings power, love, and self-control.We bear our hardships, trusting in the Lord Jesus and the help of the Holy Spirit.The apostles ask the Lord to increase their faith, and Jesus responds with the example of the mustard seed.Jesus then offers a parable of a servant, reminding us to remain faithful as we serve the Lord.Mass Readings – 27th Sunday of the Year (#141)
