Readings for today, the 19th Sunday of the Year (C)

1st Reading:  (too complicated...no need to read)

Responsorial Psalm:  They are happy, whose God is the Lord

2nd Reading:  The faith of "our father in faith", Abraham

Gospel:  Be ready to meet Jesus at the end of our lives

Reflection:
More than 40 years ago, I heard a wise old priest sum everything up by saying:
Our aim should be to live and grow and die in God's love.
This is how to be ready to meet Jesus at the end of our lives

Prayer:
Jesus, please help us live and grow and die in your love
