19th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Luke 12:32-48 Today’s gospel passage follows on from teaching concerning a right attitude to this world’s possessions: ‘Get yourself treasure that will not fail you’. What has gone before serves as an introduction to the theme of hope. Christian hope is very fundamental in the lives of those who are true followers of Jesus. Hope - one of the ‘three theological virtues’ (fundamental to our relationship with God; cf. 1 Cor 13:13) - is little appreciated by many of our people, whose faith is often too individualistic.

Scottish Blessing
May the blessing of light be on you Light without and light within. May the blessed sunlight shine on your like a great peat fire, So that stranger and friend may come and warm themselves at it.And may light shine out of the two eyes of you, Like a candle set in the window of a house, Bidding the wanderer come in out of the storm. May the blessing of the rain be on you, May it beat upon your Spirit And wash it fair and clean, And leave there a shining pool where the blue Heaven Shines, And sometimes a star.May the blessing of the earth be on you, Soft under your feet as you pass along the roads, Soft under you as you lie out on it, tired at the end of day; Any may it rest easy over you when, at last, you lie out under it. May it rest so lightly over you That your soul may be out from under it quickly; up and off and on its way to God. And now may the Lord bless you, and bless you kindly. Amen.
