19TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
AUGUST 9, 2026 - INTERPRETING THE INCOMPREHENSIBLE
We are people of faith. The one constant in the drama of the divine presence in history is the necessity of human response to the saving presence with total trust. The disciples are like most of us — we believe that the Lord is with us, but our trust is quite conditional. In those moments when we find ourselves in crisis, we expect that God will help us. In times of trial, we wait for God’s presence. But maybe we are not looking in the right places. We end up waiting for a God who seems not to come.
