What i got from the first reading is trusting god so that we can have peace in our lives. But also because he is powerful because in the reading it says that god is almighty and powerful.

What we got from this Gospel is that we will have eternal like if we have faith in God. Do not worry about material things. We should not expect God to accept us, if we know we didn't live a faithful life.

# data[].attributes.body
What this Gospel tells us is that we should just give everything to God and let him take over. Obey his commands and Worship him only; do not worship another. If you have God with you, and you have faith in him, you shouldn't worry about anything!

What I got from the first reading is that we should trust in God so we will be saved in the end. We will also gain "peace". In the reading it says "You have trusted in the Lord for all eternity, in the Lord God almighty forever". I think this means that we should also trust in God because he is almighty and powerful.

this Gospel is telling us that he is the rock.

I think this reading is talking about how God gives us strength and that we need our faith for us to be strong. We also need to be united to be strong and if we are always separated from each other, we will never flourish.  If we do not trust in the Lord, our strength will diminish.

What the Psalm means to us is that we should trust God and not in others that are not trustworthy. We should always trust God and know he is with us. We should be thankful to God for all we have and praise him!

# data[].attributes.body
What we got from this psalm is that you should not put your faith in anybody else but God. God will love you forever. To be thankful.

# data[].attributes.body
After reading this Gospel I see that you have to do more than believe in God to enter heaven. It says that you have to know God to enter heaven and by doing so it is like building on rock. If you listen to God but do not act then it will be like building on sand.

What this passage means to us is that when we trust in God, we have peace. If people are humble and faithful to the Lord, they will be trusted and rewarded by him. Those who are not faithful and humble will not be worthy of the Lord. When we do good for others, God is content with our actions.

God protects us. God is going to be there for us forever. He will humble people that are more wealthy.

After reading this Psalm I understand that faith in the Lord is important to trust. I understand that the Lord is our father that we can rely on. People can be mean but we can always rely on God to be their even when we don't want him. God is someone we go to for our troubles and know that he won't judge.
