Theme: Perseverance in trials
1st
Reading: Acts of the Apostles: Chapter 13: 14, 43-52
The joy of Paul and Barnabas,
as they won more souls for Christ, was followed by persecution and expulsion by
the powers that were. The fact that their converts remained joyful in the face
of all these challenges should encourage us to persevere in trials.
2nd
Reading: Revelation, Chapter 7: 9, 14b-17
The crowd that was standing
before the throne of the Lord attained sainthood after having gone through a period
of trials. Their testimony is a lesson in how to remain steadfast in the Lord.
Gospel
Reading: John, Chapter 10: 27-30
Jesus, the Good Shepherd,
knows us thoroughly. This scripture affirms that he will not allow evil to
befall his followers.
