Father Justin invites us to reflect on faith’s endurance in the face of life's challenges. The prophet Jeremiah's metaphor of a tree with deep roots reminds us that true strength comes from anchoring ourselves in God's love. The Beatitudes show us that lasting peace is found in relying on God, not on our worldly circumstances, which are fleeting and changing. As we navigate life's ups and downs, we're called to put down roots in God's unchanging love, becoming like trees that remain fruitful even in seasons of drought.
