19th Sunday in Ordinary Time
The Lord our God
The Lord has chosen us to be his people. Though a little flock, our history goes back into the dim and distant past. The God we worship is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. We also look forward in hope to a glorious future in the kingdom of our Father.
