This week as we celebrate Halloween and All Saints Day, and we anticipate the election, our texts remind us of the basics of our faith. “Do not put your trust in princes,” the Psalmist says, not because leaders are unimportant, but because, as people of faith, God’s faithfulness and justice are our model. Jesus and the scribe have a rare moment of agreement: to love God and neighbor is the heart of faith. May we have the loyalty of Ruth, and may we live our lives as those redeemed by our great High Priest, Jesus Christ.
