WHAT DO WE LEARN FROM OUR FIRST READING
In our own lives, we may feel burdened by struggles or discouraged by what seems impossible to fix. God’s promise reminds us that He can make all things new. Even when we cannot see it, He is working to bring renewal and hope to our situations. Just as He promises His people a new heavens and a new earth, He calls us to trust in His power to bring new beginnings.
FROM OUR GOSPEL READING
The Gospel reading this morning, shows how God works in unexpected ways. The royal official believed Jesus when He said his son would live, even though there was no immediate proof. This trust led to a miracle, showing that God’s power often works in ways we cannot predict.
WHAT DO WE LEARN FROM OUR GOSPEL READING?
We may also face moments where God asks us to trust Him without understanding how things will work out. Like the royal official, we are called to rely on His word and have faith in His promises. This can be hard, but faith helps us see that God’s ways are always good, even if they are different from what we expect.
CONCLUSION
The Readings for Monday of the 4th Week of Lent reminds us that God does not always act in the way we imagine. He calls us to trust Him, even when we do not fully understand His plan. Faith in His unexpected ways opens the door to His blessings.
I wish you all a very blessed Monday with a wonderful New Week ahead!
