Thus
says the Lord, The people who survived
the sword found grace in the wilderness; when Israel sought for rest, the Lord
appeared to him from far away. I have loved you with an everlasting love;
therefore I have continued my faithfulness to you…..For thus says the Lord:
Sing aloud with gladness for Jacob, and raise shouts for the chief of the
nations; proclaim, give praise, and say, “Save, O Lord, your people, the
remnant of Israel.”
Father
Michael Coutts said that the first reading of Jeremiah is about great hope and
optimism. It focused on people close to God who worked hard and tend to be
overlooked. Jesus’ message is ‘I will love you with everlasting love.” He is
the God of mercy and compassion.

| St. Dominic |
Today
is the feast of St. Dominic of Spain who lived during the time of slavery in
1170. He has great love for his faith.
He founded the Order of Preachers or the convent of Dominicans. Their motto is
to strengthen the faith and to fight the heresy - "our body is a
source of evil and sin". He also shared his gift of rosary with his
devotion to Mary. Let us pray to St. Dominic to continue his morality and his
faith.
