God, Have You Hidden from Us?
2020. What a year!
We might have questioned many of the things we take for granted or depend on.
It has been a year of uncertainties, anxieties, worries, and fears.
We realize that we are not in control.
Like the Prophet Isaiah in the first reading, we might ask if God is angry with us, or if God has hidden from us.
May our life experiences bring us to pray with trust, as Isaiah did, “O LORD, Return for the sake of your servants.”
At the same time, the 2nd Reading and the Gospel encourage us not to paralyzed by fear, or to be passive bystanders. Jesus’ disciples must make profit with the gifts that God has blessed us with, especially the gift of Jesus, God’s only Son. In so doing, we transform our world to become more God’s world as we wait for the day of its completion.
