In memory of Nieves Mirasol………………….………...Daughter
Through Jeremiah, God points out how important each
life is even before birth. All of us are wanted and loved
by God with an important role to play in salvation
history. By virtue of our baptism, we are called to be
prophets with a message not everyone wants to hear,
but like Jeremiah we are called to deliver that message
each according to the vocation God has given us. At
times we may feel crushed, but still the Lord is with us
to deliver us. Do children always accept their parents’
directives? Do politicians always do the will of
God? We are always challenged. With our prayers, we
can build up our own faith by praying for them and
witnessing how God works in their lives.
Jesus rolls up the scroll of Isaiah and says, “Today this
Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.” Jesus has just
read part of the Suffering Servant Songs. Like all the
Words of God, we can always speak favorably about
them until we are asked to put them into practice. But
when the Word of God is preached, how many of us
seem to think there is an exception for ourselves? The
people, whom Jesus grew up with, cannot accept Jesus
as the Messiah because they feel they know Him and
His background is insufficient for Him to take on that
role. You might think of the proverb, “Familiarity
breeds contempt.” They are willing to accept Him as a
magician, but in no way as a moral leader. Luke has
already told us in his first three chapters where Jesus
came from, but they seem not to know this because
they assume He is a local.
The more violent reaction may have been precipitated
by the Roman occupational forces who mistreated
many of the Jews. Because Elijah helped the widow
and her son at Zarephath, both Gentiles, and
Naaman’s cure by Elisha, another Gentile, Jesus shows
a favoritism with the Gentile people and perhaps some
contempt for His former neighbors.
Fr. Euk
Pastor’s Notes Jude 1:22 - On those who waver, have mercy.
Our lives can be filled with doubt these days, whether
it’s caused by the media, politics, family, friends,
health, and even at times our Church. Coming across
Jude’s verse helped me to understand why it’s in the
bible.
If well-meaning circumstances causes us to be
affected because of our uncertainty, it probably didn’t
help and made us even more preoccupied. When these
questions of uncertainly or doubt enter our mind and
heart, that’s the time when we need someone
alongside us to hold us up and provide the answers
and not be a critic who wants to condemn our feelings
in this time of need. Being aware of this, we should,
put our faith in God and follow the example of Jesus’
Mercy and have compassion for others who may
waver. Let’s be those merciful followers of Christ and
with a little love and compassion we can aid those with
wavering hearts around us. Maybe someday we may
need that person to be at our side.
Deacon Gino
Do you believe that God wants to act with power in
your life today? Power to set you free from sin and
hurtful desires, fear and oppression. Throughout the
Scriptures we see God performing mighty acts to save
his people from death and destruction - from Noah's
ark that spared his family from the flood of wickedness
that had spread across the land to Moses and the
Israelites who crossed through the parting waters of
the Red Sea as they fled the armies of Pharoah their
slave Master and oppressor.
Throughout the Gospel accounts Jesus praised
individuals who put their faith in God as they
remembered the great and wonderful deeds he had
performed time and again. Jesus even praised
outsiders - non-Jews and pagans from other lands who
had heard about the mighty deeds of the God of Israel.
One example Jesus mentioned was Naaman the pagan
army commander from Syria who was afflicted with
leprosy - a debilitating skin disease that slowly ate
away the flesh (2 Kings 5:1-15). Naaman's slave-girl
was a young Jewish woman who had faith in God and
compassion for Naaman her master. She urged him to
seek healing from Elisha, the great prophet of
Israel.When Naaman went to the land of Israel to seek
a cure for his leprosy, the prophet Elisha instructed
him to bathe seven times in the Jordan river. Namaan
was indignant at first, but then repented and followed
the prophet's instructions. In doing so he was
immediately restored in body and spirit.
