The 12th Sunday after Pentecost, Year A
Scriptures: Isaiah 56:1, 6-8; Psalm 67; Matthew 15: [10-20] 21-28; Romans 11:1-2a, 29-32.
Key verse: “May God give us blessing and may all the ends of the earth stand in awe.” Psalm 67:7
Questions to ponder:
1. How would you nuance lacking trust, disbelief, mistrust, and doubt when our faith is being tested?
2. How do you keep your faith in God’s promise nurtured and rejuvenated constantly? Why is it necessary from your perspective and life experience?
3. How can we be the signs of healing, love, peace, and grace of our Lord Jesus Christ without showing partiality towards others?
Prayer: God of all comfort. You are God of faithful ones and doubters, God of wellness and brokenness, and God of free and captives. We lean on you for strength while life is overwhelming. We seek your healing amid unbearable pain. We practice being still before you to immerse ourselves fully in your steadfast love and mercy. We give thanks to you for you are our God and for all your blessings. We pray in Jesus’ name, amen.
