Monday – 27th Week in Ordinary Time – A
My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, peace be with you. On this 27th Monday in ordinary time, my brothers and sisters, today, instead of beginning with the first reading, and then moving on to the gospel, I'd like to focus on the Responsorial Psalm. And then we'll get to the readings. But in the Responsorial Psalm for today, we say that “the Lord will remember his covenant forever” (Psalm 111:5). Now, as you will recall, the Lord made a number of covenants. First with Noah, and then with Abraham, and then with Moses on Sinai, and then with King David, and all of them were pointing towards the greatest covenant or the fulfillment of the greatest covenant, which would be realized in Christ.
