when he comes in his glory

Thursday, September 17, 2009 The Sacred Stigmata of Saint Francis of Assisi (Feast)

First Reading: Psalm: Gospel: Galatians 6:14-18 Galatians 2:16, 20; Philippians 1:20-21 Luke 9:23-26

Luke 9:26  For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of man be ashamed when he comes in his glory and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.

 

Today in America we have become ashamed of Jesus Christ.  We no longer stand for what he has taught us and for what he has done for us.  We are given over to humanistic morality and laws. But, our hope is that He will come again and then things will be made right.  But, if it is to be made right for us we must not be ashamed of him now.  Even though the rest of the world is walking away from Jesus we must walk with him.

Father, help me by your Holy Spirit to keep my faith in you and not give into the ways of this world.

Amen
