Today’s gospel invites us to trust that Jesus will never forsake us.  It is an invitation to a deeper belief in the resurrection, which is the foundation of our faith.

What sustains you in times of adversity?  When you are facing difficulties in life or with your health, what gives you strength?  For me it is prayer and the steadfast trust in the hope of our resurrection.

Jesus calls us to be people of hope. Try not to be discouraged by situations of this world, but rather fix your eyes on Jesus and trust in His divine love. Stay connected to God through prayer, in good times and in bad, and then when death comes it will not be the end of our connection with God.   

So today, let us put our hope in God’s promise that He will never abandon us. Allow God’s love and grace to fill us with joy and trust that one day we will be united with our loved ones in heaven.

Thanks for stopping by!
Until next time, be blessed, Renae
