Tuesday of the Twenty-fifth Week in Ordinary Time

Tuesday of the Twenty-fifth Week in Ordinary Time

"Let us go rejoicing to the house of the Lord" as today's psalm tells us.  We ought to rejoice in the opportunity to come and worship before our Lord and King.  Our first reading from Ezra talks about the rebuilding of the temple after the Babylonian Exile and that joyous first Passover Celebration after its completion.  Those who were at the celebration understood what it meant to go rejoicing to God's House because they weren't able to do that for around 70 years. 

May we able to rejoice and offer our prayers to God at all times.
