How do we know how to live a good Christian life? The best answer to this question is given in this Sunday's readings. Like all good inventors, God has given us a manual to help us live a good Christian life. That manual is Holy Scripture- which St Paul tells us in the 2nd reading is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness. In the first reading these same sacred writings tell us that in their fight with Amalek "Whenever Moses held up his hand, Israel prevailed, and whenever he lowered his hand, Amalek prevailed". Arms raised high in our Christian tradition does not only signify prayer or surrender but also a powerful image of companionship in the Christian life. . Through prayer and surrender, our help comes from God who made heaven and earth. Our Gospel tells us that God always hears our prayer and calls us to be persistent in prayer.

Friends, we are invited today to rush to the holy Word of God! Read it, pray with it, and invite the Holy Spirit to speak to us through it. There, and only there can we find the wisdom needed to face every circumstance.
