Today’s first reading continues with Philip, the story of the eunuch who gets baptized and wants to know more about who Isaiah is talking about. Of course it is Jesus and Philip tells him all about Jesus.

OT means ordinary time. Today’s readings are about faith in times of struggle. David struggles against opposition and his sin in 2Samuel, 15-16. But he remains faithful to God. The responsorial psalm is Lord, rise up and save me. I must keep faith in the Lord who can save me from my sin. In the…
