The man who trusts in the Lord

“Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose hope is the LORD. He is like a tree planted beside the waters that stretches out its roots to the stream: It fears not the heat when it comes, its leaves stay green; In the year of drought it shows no distress, but still bears fruit.” (JER 17: 7-8)

God, who is our Father, protects us, takes care of us and like every Father wants for us all the best. He knows all the fears of our lives: “the heat” or “years of drought.” He not only knows, but also protects those who “trust in the Lord.”

“Blessed are they who have kept the word with a generous heart and yield a harvest through perseverance.” (Gospel Acclamation)
