Clergy Thoughts: Today the 27th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year C we are invited to reflect on faith, trust, and service. The readings remind us that faith is not about size but about sincerity. The Readings encourage us to be patient in difficult times, to trust in God’s promises, and to use the gifts He has given us to serve others. Faith is not just about believing when things are going well. It is about trusting even when we don’t understand. We are to be patient and to continue doing what is right, even when change seems slow. In the end, God’s justice will come, and those who remain faithful will not be disappointed. May we in humility ask God to increase our faith and help our trust to serve Him in all we encounter. Amen! Fr Alex
