St Augustine - memorial

1 Thessalonians 2:9-13, Ps.139,
Matthew 23:27-32

Let this psalm become the pulse of your life

What an extraordinary gift to be fully known and yet still loved, respected, accepted. Psalm 139 is a hymn of consolation and hope. Jesus critiques people living in hypocrisy. In truth, how many of us hide behind masks of respectability, fearful of being really known, of secret sins or our inner failure being revealed? God knows me! God loves me! Nothing can ever separate that love from me, not even the grave. The psalmist captures the essence of the Good News. Let this psalm echo in your heart until it becomes the pulse of your life. You will be transformed.
