The readings this week deserve to be read, and reread and pondered.  “God put Abraham to the test.”  A bit scary, isn’t it?  Think about it:  God put (insert YOUR name) to the test.  Perhaps one test you face arises from the disruptions caused by the pandemic – feelings of discouragement, isolation, doubt and fear to name a few!  Despite the various difficulties that may need to be faced, listen again to the words God speaks in today’s gospel - “This is my beloved Son.  Listen to Him.”  Open your heart to Christ; listen attentively to what he is speaking to you, asking of you.  How will you respond?
