19th Sunday of Ordinary Time Our Scout troop camped often and the leaders would put
our young skills to the test. They would create situations
that required us to act—someone was injured, we were
lost or we had to find things that were edible in the
woods. It helped us develop our abilities to deal with a
crisis and, in theory and in practice, made the motto of
the Scouts real: “Be prepared”!
Jesus does not want his followers to live in fear, but ra-
ther to live in vigilance and preparation. At any moment,
faith can be challenged and temptation can be found.
Persecution would be commonplace and many will
struggle to preach the Gospel. The only preparation is
the practice of prayer and of virtue, keeping our spiritual
skills sharp and ourselves open to the grace of God. But
we need not fear. It is not something we do alone. We do
it as His Body, His Church. The Lord is always with us.
Every day presents opportunities to practice faith, to
give witness to our beliefs by our words and deeds. Our
daily conversations, our kindness to others, the good
example we set and our willingness to be mindful of
God, help sharpen our spiritual skills and support others
who struggle with temptation. Opportunities for grace
outnumber opportunities for sin. We just have to be
“Do not be afraid any longer, little flock, for your Father
is pleased to give you the kingdom….. Where your
treasure is, there also will your heart be.” Given the sta-
tistics of weekly Mass attendance, it seems that, tragical-
ly, we are truly a “little flock”. Why do we overlook the
gifts that God gives us at each Mass? Giving thanks to
God with this faith community at Mass should be a real
priority. The questions arises, then, do we really treasure
the gift of faith and especially the sacraments of
Eucharist and Reconciliation?
