DECEMBER 13
"Ruth said, ‘Do not press me to go back and abandon
you! Wherever you go I will go, wherever you lodge I will lodge. Your people
shall be my people and your God, my God.’”
Ruth 1:16
Reflection: Ruth is a foreigner, the
daughter-in-law of Naomi. Both widows, the two women return to Israel with a
uncertain future ahead of them. Little does Ruth know that her faithfulness to
Naomi will result in her becoming the great-grandmother of none other than
David, the king.
Prayer: God our Father, you gave
Ruth a faith that would help to shape the history of salvation. May we, like
her, be faithful to the people You have placed in our lives. Amen.
