Third Week in Ordinary Time

In the early Church, the Letter to the Hebrews urged the faithful to gather together and encourage one another. Jesus’ perfect sacrifice took away sins. He regards anyone who does the will of the Father as family, and He will return to accompany people into salvation. Picturing receptiveness to the Word of God like seed falling on different types of ground, Jesus also said that a tiny mustard seed can become a huge plant. Even with the Lord in the same boat with us, we sometimes feel as if He sleeps through what terrifies us. Knowing that nothing remains hidden from God, do we pray to see what He wants to bring to light for us?
