Exodus 1:8-14, 22 >< )))*> <*((( >< Matthew 10:34-11:1
It is that time of the year again, Lord, when life gets harder with the rains, with all the expenses piling up along with a hosts of so many other problems besetting us.
Others call these months of July until August as the “ghost months” when so many difficulties come along our way. But of course, we believe more in you.
Like in our Responsorial Psalm today, we sing “Our help is in the name of the Lord.”
Most of all, like the people of Israel living in Egypt long after Joseph had gone who were subjected to cruel slavery by the Pharaoh and his men, “the more they were oppressed, the more they multiplied and spread” (Ex.1:12).
Our almighty Father, keep us close to you through your Son Jesus Christ.
Let us rely more to you in him through the Holy Spirit when life gets harder for us.
May we learn more from him so we may follow him closer than ever especially during times of trials and difficulties.
Keep us faithful in Christ for “whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it” (Mt.10:39).
Amen.
