The Catholic Calendar for Wednesday, June 12, 2002 Tenth Week in Ordinary Time Scripture from today's Liturgy of the Word: 1 Kings 18:20-39 Psalm 16:1-2,4-5,8,11 Matthew 5:17-19 A Reflection on Today's Scripture: Times were desperate in Israel when Elijah challenged the prophets of Baal to a showdown. It was now or never, and Elijah stood to lose his life if God did not come to his aid. And God did come with power and drama! Certainly these are desperate times. In so many ways, it seems that the power of Satan prevails; and, even among believers, there is scandal, confusion, and a feeling that we're on the losing side. What better time than now to put our total trust in the Lord, knowing that, when we cry to Him humbly, admitting our sinfulness, and with hearts full of love, He will hear and answer our prayer. The gods of money, sensuality, and earthly power cannot withstand the God of love and justice. - Msgr.
