Ecclesiastes Chapter 5

In this Sunday’s Gospel, Jesus bids us look at the birds of the air and the lilies of the field. God provides for them. He will not forget about us. Though we are of little faith and are full of worry and anxiousness with our undue focus on the things of the world, Jesus calls us to repentance and to return to trust in our loving Heavenly Father who will care for all of our needs. He who feeds the birds and clothes the flowers will certainly provide for our daily needs. He has clothed us with Christ's righteousness in Baptism, feeding us His body and blood for our forgiveness. We are worth more to Him than sparrows. He will not neglect us.
