‘For people it is impossible … but everything is possible for God.’

Today’s readings stress the need for wisdom when discerning our priorities. They challenge us to see the world and our place in it through the lens of wisdom.

The First Reading says that wisdom, God’s greatest gift, is more valuable than anything else; having wisdom means possessing all things.  Wisdom is personified; she is God’s own self for us.

The Psalm teaches us to value our days and to use wisely the gifts therein.

The Second Reading shows how God’s word can read our deepest thoughts and intentions.

It is the Word of God, enfleshed in Jesus of Nazareth, that discerns the priorities of the rich young man in the Gospel.  Because nothing is hidden from God, the wealthy man is seen, and sees himself held accountable.  He is invited to perceive the distractions his great wealth brings, and to receive the riches of deep relationship with Christ.

This week, let’s pray that we might be open to the irresistible Word and Wisdom of God; that we might let ourselves be discerned and challenged; that we may become truly rich in Christ.

Welcome

Welcome to the website of St Ninian’s Catholic Church in Knightswood, Glasgow. I hope and pray this will be a resource for spiritual nourishment for you who visit, that it will be a source of inspiration for parish outreach, allowing us to be the heart and hands of Christ for those around us, and that it will make a contribution to community building for the entire Knightswood area.

As we make our way through 2024, let God’s light lift up our Spirits  and our faith. May we have the courage to meet and  embrace the challenges and the encounters of life with a renewed sense of purpose in the weeks and months ahead.

Thank you for visiting our website and our thanks to David Gray for permission to use his wonderful photographs of our Church.
