Reflection on readings for January 24th

Our Psalm response for this weekend is “teach me your ways, O Lord.” How helpful this can be given that we have any number of serious concerns these days. We pray that we allow God to guide us in God’s truth, not what we at times think is truth. We pray that we can develop our humility; we remind ourselves that to be humble does mean we demean ourselves. It means that we accept that we are not God; therefore, we need to let God shows us how to bring about true justice in our world. We pray that people can easily observe that our lives are marked by goodness, kindness and compassion.
