19th Sunday of Ordinary Time Our Scout troop camped often and the leaders would put

our young skills to the test. They would create situations

that required us to act—someone was injured, we were

lost or we had to find things that were edible in the

woods. It helped us develop our abilities to deal with a

crisis and, in theory and in practice, made the motto of

the Scouts real: “Be prepared”!

Jesus does not want his followers to live in fear, but ra-

ther to live in vigilance and preparation. At any moment,

faith can be challenged and temptation can be found.

Persecution would be commonplace and many will

struggle to preach the Gospel. The only preparation is

the practice of prayer and of virtue, keeping our spiritual

skills sharp and ourselves open to the grace of God. But

we need not fear. It is not something we do alone. We do

it as His Body, His Church. The Lord is always with us.

Every day presents opportunities to practice faith, to

give witness to our beliefs by our words and deeds. Our

daily conversations, our kindness to others, the good

example we set and our willingness to be mindful of

God, help sharpen our spiritual skills and support others

who struggle with temptation. Opportunities for grace

outnumber opportunities for sin. We just have to be

prepared!

August 11 - Nineteenth Sunday of Ordinary Time

“Do not be afraid any longer, little flock, for your Father

is pleased to give you the kingdom….. Where your

treasure is, there also will your heart be.” Given the sta-

tistics of weekly Mass attendance, it seems that, tragical-

ly, we are truly a “little flock”. Why do we overlook the

gifts that God gives us at each Mass? Giving thanks to

God with this faith community at Mass should be a real

priority. The questions arises, then, do we really treasure

the gift of faith and especially the sacraments of

Eucharist and Reconciliation?
