Sunday 26 February

Eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Isaiah 49:14-15; Psalm 62; 1 Corinthians 4:1-5; Matthew 6:24-34

Who cares?

Yes, God does care and we need not worry. Our worrying achieves nothing. Our heavenly Father provides for us as nature provides for the birds in the sky and the flowers in the field.

Our role is to care, too. We have duties and responsibilities that are ours to take care of and people in our lives for whom we need to provide. In carrying out these tasks we participate in the providence of God. ‘I will always sing of your name, fulfilling the vows I have taken.’ Ps 61:8
