All of today’s readings speak about people on the move in search of a new homeland. The reading from Wisdom reminds us of the night of Passover when people of Israel, trusting in God’s promises, journeyed from slavery to freedom in a new homeland God had promised. In the reading from Hebrews, we hear how Abraham placed his faith and trust in God’s promises and journeyed to a land promised him and his descendants. “He went out, not knowing where he was to go.” He simply and faithfully trusted in God’s guidance. As the reading states, “Faith in the realization of what is hoped for and evidence of things not seen.“ The Gospel reading presents us with a parable in which Jesus reminds his followers to trust in the Father’s promises: “Do not be afraid any longer, little flock, for your Father is pleased to give you the Kingdom.” Followers are to be patient as they await the return of their master, who will bring them into their new homeland. Jesus touches on the yearning for this eternal homeland that lies in the human heart. However, Jesus adds that we must be attentive and prepared for the arrival of this homeland. We must do our part and act as faithful stewards of our talents and obligations. “Much will be required of the person entrusted with much, and still more will be demanded of the person entrusted with more.” We do not journey alone. Our journey is united with others also responding to God’s call to prepare for the coming of God’s kingdom. Ours is the task to support them through lives of service and solidarity. What impression does the definition of faith in the Letter

to the Hebrews have on you? To what can you compare Abraham’s faith? Jesus tells the disciples that their heart is where their

treasure is. What does your heart value?
