You will show me the path to life...

"Learn a lesson from the fig tree.
When its branch becomes tender and sprouts leaves,
you know that summer is near."



33rd Sunday of Ordinary Time

Responsorial Psalm Ps 16:5, 8, 9-10, 11

R. (1) You are my inheritance, O Lord!
O LORD, my allotted portion and my cup,
you it is who hold fast my lot.
I set the LORD ever before me;
with him at my right hand I shall not be disturbed.
R. You are my inheritance, O Lord!
Therefore my heart is glad and my soul rejoices,
my body, too, abides in confidence;
because you will not abandon my soul to the netherworld,
nor will you suffer your faithful one to undergo corruption.
R. You are my inheritance, O Lord!
You will show me the path to life,
fullness of joys in your presence,
the delights at your right hand forever.
R. You are my inheritance, O Lord!

 

Thoughts to ponder...

Have I truly set the Lord ever before me?

Have I trusted in the Lord so that I might not be disturbed?

Have I followed the path that He has set before me?

How do these questions affect my vocational discernment?
