29th Sunday in Ordinary Time 16th October: Focus: Trusting in & relying upon God gives us strength to persevere during trials, & live as more faithful disciples of Jesus. - Many people in our world think they are self-sufficient & do not need God. As believers in Jesus, however, we are called to trust & rely upon him. We know God is our strength & salvation, & the more we will rely on him, the more we will receive the strength we need to face life’s challenges.
