FAITH BOOK 12th SUNDAY (A) JUNE 21, 2026 Jeremiah 20: 10-13; Psalm 69; Romans 5: 12-15; Matthew 10: 26-33 By: Jude Siciliano , OP
Mini-reflections on the Sunday scripture readings designed for persons on the run. “Faith Book” is also brief enough to be posted in the Sunday parish bulletins people take home.
From today’s Gospel reading:
"So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. Everyone who acknowledges me before others I will acknowledge before my heavenly Father."
Reflection:
Jesus knows that fear can keep us silent about our faith. He reassures us that we are precious in God's eyes – worth far more than many sparrows. Because we are loved and valued by God, we can face life's challenges with confidence. When we acknowledge Christ in our words and actions, we witness to the One who never stops claiming us as his own.
So, we ask ourselves:
· What fears keep me from openly living or speaking about my faith? · Do I truly believe that I am precious and loved by God, even in my weaknesses? · How can I acknowledge Christ today through my actions, words, or choices?
