At mass today, we will stand and declare our faith in a living, all- powerful God. Can we boldly confess that we believe God is in control and then be at peace even when threatened with fire?

God wants us to have a life that is full of peace and wisdom, joy and purpose. The Introit today invites us to begin rightly ordering our life to God. “I am the salvation of the people, says the Lord.”
Our invitation is from the Book of Sirach in a section of verses headed by the title, A Prayer for God’s People. This section deals with true worship of God, refreshing our memory of God and his mighty deeds: Our God who hears the prayers of the lowly, gives peace that lasts, keeps promises and upholds the covenant from generation unto generation.
The introit for this Sunday is drawn from Psalm 119, inviting us into close community with God as we begin the mass. It is in close community with God that we are able to be nourished by His word and His sacrament.
