Habakkuk 1:12-2:4 / Matthew 17: 14-20

Habakkuk questions God: God promised that justice would prevail.

The Book of Habakkuk is nearly as short as the Book of Nahum. Habakkuk prophesied shortly before the fall of Jerusalem and the Temple (587 B.C.). He wrestled with the same question Job did: Why do good people seem to suffer and evil people appear to prosper?

19 Sunday A: In the Storms of life with Jesus

From Fr. Donald Planty:

The world’s attention is unfortunately, but understandably, regularly focused on the destructive force of natural events like hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis, as well as on the violent human forces contending in conflicts in Central Europe, in the Middle East, in Africa, and in Latin America.

18th Week: Aug 3-8: Reflections

Aug 3-8: Aug 3 Monday: Mt 24: 22-36: And if those days had not been shortened, no one would be saved; but for the sake of the elect they will be shortened. 23^j If anyone says to you then, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or, ‘There he is!’ do not believe it. 24False messiahs and false prophets will arise, and they will perform signs and wonders so great as to deceive, if that were possible, even the elect. 25Behold, I have told it to you beforehand. 26So if they say to you, ‘He is in the desert,’ do not go out there; if they say, ‘He is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it.^*………………36 USCCB video reflections: http://www.usccb.org/bible/reflections/index.cfm
