This weekend we celebrate the 29th Sunday in Ordinary Time, year C. Our readings today encourage us to hope in the Lord and pray without ceasing, looking to Him to protect and preserve us.
In the psalm for today, from chapter 121, we proclaim that the Lord - the master of all creation - is who we look to for help in times of trouble. The response reads:
"Our help is from the Lord, who made heaven and earth."
All four verses illustrate the ways in which the Lord cares for those who hope in him.
In the communion antiphon for today we sing the same message of hoping in the Lord, who is our help. Taken from Psalm chapter 33, verses 18 and 19, it says:
"Behold, the eyes of the Lord
are on those who fear him,
who hope in his merciful love,
to rescue their souls from death,
to keep them alive in famine."
