The Lord has done wondrous deeds (Ps. 98)

One of the verses of the responsorial psalm of today's liturgy request that we:

          "Sing a new song to the Lord.
          He has done wondrous deeds.
          His right hand has won victory for Him,
          His holy arm!"

A plan for the salvation of the world has been put in motion.
A plan for the salvation of every human being has been orchestrated.
Jesus has won victory over the powers of darkness in each person's life, in the life of each of my family members, in the life of my religious community, the church and every nation in the world.
No one will be lost except those who choose death over life, darkness over light, lies over the truth.

"O God, You trust us, your children, to the point of giving us freedom to choose the good and reject evil, to embrace the truth and shun lies.  In humility, Lord,. you do not control us but honor us, respect us, trust us to choose what is right and just, to walk in Your Son's footprints and, like the good thief, to accept salvation."
