“The Lord remembers his covenant forever” – this is the refrain we hear in the psalm today. Remembering is important. We remember our loved ones who are no longer with us. We remember happy memories from our childhood and our youth. We remember those who passed down the faith to us and those who made sacrifices for us so that we could succeed in life and get a good education. However, there things we wish we did not remember, that still cause pain and suffering in our lives after the passing of so many years. Remembering both the good and the bad, the joys and the sorrows, make us who we are. Perhaps those thing we do not want to remember comprise those difficult and challenging experiences that helped us grow and learn.
The Lord remembers the covenant that he makes with his people, even after the people deny him and disobey him and choose the ways of the world over his ways. May we also remember the Lord’s covenant - a convent that has great influence on our journey through life.
