“The Lord remembers his covenant forever” This is the refrain we hear in the psalm today. Remembering is important to us as human beings. 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. We remember those who made sacrifices for us so that we could succeed in life and get a good education. However, there are probably things that we wish we did not remember, that still cause pain and suffering in our lives after the passing of so many years. Sometimes we want to let go of a painful memory, of the hurt it still causes us, but that is difficult to do. Yet, 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, disobey him, and choose the ways of the world over his ways. May all of us as disciples of Christ remember the Lord’s covenant. It is a convent that should be at the foundation of our journey through life.
