Monday: 18th Week in Ordinary Time
Father Dan Donovan
Over the centuries as well as today, believers have turned again and again to the Scriptures and to what they might be saying to us in the actual situations in which we find ourselves. They have little to offer if we only think of them as reporting on things which took place in the past and which, as such, have little to say to us and to the unique concerns of our time and place.
Although some people approach the Bible in that way, it is in fact never just about the past, as rich and fascinating as its history can be. For believers, it is God’s word which continues to be addressed to us today. A thoughtful and prayerful reading of it has the power to bring it into the present where it speaks to us if we but give it a chance.
