Catechesis Notes for the Week —Psalm 112—A Prayer Confessing the Blessed State of the Righteous—Being a disciple of Jesus does not necessarily mean that the Christian will not experience economic hardship or physical sickness. A Christian may suffer all forms of distress. But Psalm 112 promises us that the faithful Christian is blessed by God no matter what he or she might be called upon to endure, and that through such suffering God promises to bless and prosper the Christian. These great truths are contained in the key verse of the psalm: “Unto the upright there arises light in the darkness.” The Christian stands righteous before God through faith in Christ. This faith is the victory that overcomes the world and by which we are afraid of no evil, “His heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord.” “Blessed is the man who f ears the Lord.”CP210404
