century through a group of lay persons. A strong vital Christian community
flourished there under lay leadership until missionaries arrived from the Paris
Foreign Mission Society. During the terrible persecutions that occurred between
1839 and 1867, one hundred and three members of the Christian community gave
their lives as martyrs. They include a few bishops and priests, but for the
most part lay people. Outstanding among these witnesses to the faith were the
first Korean priest and pastor, Andrew Kim Taegon, and the lay apostle, Paul
Chong Hasang. Pope Saint John Paul II, during his trip to Korea, canonized
these martyrs on May 6, 1984.<a href="file:///C:/Users/Fr.%20Moses/Desktop/Weekday%20Homilies/Daily%20Tonic%20for%20Year%20I%20(2020-2021)/Ordinary%20Time%20(I)/Twenty-Fifth%20Week%20in%20Ordinary%20Time%20(I)%20(2021).docx#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn1;" title=""><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 110%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">[1]</a><o:p></o:p>

Jesus said in today’s gospel, “No one after lighting a lamp
hides it under a jar, or puts it under a bed, but puts it on a lampstand, so
that those who enter may see the light.” He also cautions, “...to those who
have, more will be given; and from those who do not have, even what they seem
to have will be taken away.” These words call for sober reflection on who we
are.<o:p></o:p>

Often we consider ourselves terribly helpless before both
real and imaginary forces. We tend to forget that God created all things, and
by His will we exist and are created, cf. Rev
4:11. God created us in His image and likeness, cf. Gen 1:26-27.5:1; Jas 3:9. And “everything created by God is good” (1Tim 4:4).<o:p></o:p>

The stuff we are made of is by no means inferior and are made
by the Master Himself. Whatever we are is what God has made us to be and His
intention for us is to do good works, cf. Eph
2:10.<o:p></o:p>

Before whatever that stands on our way, “...we are more than
conquerors through him who loved us” (Rom
8:37). We must remember always God’s response to Saint Paul, “My grace is
sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness” (2Cor 12:9a). Never feel inferior
because you are not. Borrowing the words
of Saint Paul, we can do all things in Him who strengthens us, cf. Phil 4:13. To live fully so that others might
see the light that we are, we must wake up from our slumber.<o:p></o:p>

Bible Readings: Eph 2:1-10.<o:p></o:p>

Thought for today: You are of superior by superior to be superior.<o:p></o:p>

Let us pray: May God assist us to live our lives
fully for His greater glory and for our happiness – Amen.<o:p></o:p>

Saint Andrew Kim Taegon & Companions

Homily (Reflection) for
the Twenty-Fifth Sunday of the Year (B) (19th September, 2021) on
the Gospel

Wis
2:12.17-20;

Ps
53:3-6.8 (R. V. 6);

Jas
3:16–4:3;

Mk 9:30-37.

In the company of a
nobleman, Nasruddin visited the public bath. Once there, the nobleman jokingly
asked Nasruddin, ‘If I were a slave, what would be a reasonable price for me?’

Responded Nasruddin:
‘Only 50 dinars.’

The nobleman angrily
told him, ‘why, my bathing cloth costs 50 dinars!’

Nasruddin retorted:
‘Oh, that’s exactly what I told you – the price of your bathing cloth! Because,
a nobleman has no value!’ Culled from Sagayanathan, A. (2009). Launching
Pad: Stories for Sunday Homilies, Year – A, B & C. Bangalore: Asian
Trading Corporation, p. 218.

Topic: Set priorities right.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AMys_C6qBvo/YUa4IISWO5I/AAAAAAAAG8g/NZstxr7Qw14IzUYUJTwSUHsMP2XsnAMKwCLcBGAsYHQ/s264/19.09.2021.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="191" data-original-width="264" height="191" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AMys_C6qBvo/YUa4IISWO5I/AAAAAAAAG8g/NZstxr7Qw14IzUYUJTwSUHsMP2XsnAMKwCLcBGAsYHQ/s0/19.09.2021.png" width="264" /></a></div> In today’s gospel, Jesus began to reveal
to His disciples the hard truth that “The Son of Man is to be betrayed into
human hands, and they will kill him, and three days after being killed, he will
rise again” (Mk 9:31). The gospel
goes further, “But they did not understand what he was saying and were afraid
to ask him” (Mk 9:32).

Despite the fact that the gospel
explicitly stated Jesus’ intention for the twelve: “And he appointed twelve,
whom he also named apostles, to be with him, and to be sent out to proclaim the
message, and to have authority to cast out demons” (Mk 3:14-15), in their ignorance, they “argued with one another who
was the greatest” (Mk 9:34). And
this is quite contrary to Jesus’ intention for them, cf. Mk 10:41-45; Matt 20:24-28.<o:p></o:p>

On our call as Christians, Saint
Peter wrote, “But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation,
God's own people, that you may declare the wonderful deeds of him who called
you out of darkness into his marvellous light” (1Pt 2:9). He went on, “Once you were no people but now you are
God's people; once you had not received mercy but now you have received mercy”
(1Pt 2:10). And in the gospel
according to Saint John we read that “... to all who received him, who believed
in his name, he gave power to become children of God” (Jn 1:12). Saint John also wrote, “By this it may be seen who are
the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not do
right is not of God, nor he who does not love his brother” (1Jn 3:10). Earlier in the Book of
Deuteronomy we read, “... what does the LORD your God require of you, but to
fear the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, to love him, to serve the LORD
your God with all your heart and with all your soul” (Deut 10:12). Similarly, in prophet Micah we also read, “He has
showed you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to
do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?” (Mic 6:8).<o:p></o:p>

Juxtaposing the call of the
apostles and their behaviour in today’s gospel on one side and our own call and
our behaviour today on the other, are we better off? Through the prophet Hosea
God complains, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; because you have
rejected knowledge, I reject you from being a priest to me. And since you have
forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children” (Hos 4:6). Being a priest in this
contest is not limited to the ministerial priests. Every baptised is a priest
as already cited, cf. 1Pt 2:9.
Through the prophet Jeremiah God also complains, “For my people are foolish,
they know me not; they are stupid children, they have no understanding. They
are skilled in doing evil, but how to do good they know not” (Jer 4:22).<o:p></o:p>

Dear friends in the Lord, God is
embittered because of our wickedness, injustice, hatred, selfishness,
faithlessness, and so on through which we have disorganized the world, cf. Gen 6:5-8. Just like the apostles who
were ignorantly arguing over who was the greatest, what bothers us today is not
our inability to do the will of God but the things we expect from God. Remember
that for Nasruddin, the value of the nobleman in the slave market is
just his bathing cloth. In like manner, God does not worth more than one of the
channels we look for husbands, wives, children, wealth, protection, good
health, longevity, power, breakthrough, connections, employment, and so on? We
rarely see God as our Father who teaches us. And the relationships between
ourselves seem to be worst. Most often we see the other just as a means to what
we want. However, we ought to “... be blameless and innocent, children of God
without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you
shine as lights in the world” (Phil 2:15).

Bible
Reading: Jer 4:1-4; Jn 1:1-13; Phil 2:12-17; Mk 10:35-45; 1Jn
3:1-24.<o:p></o:p>

Thought
for today: Reflect briefly on why you search for God and again why you keep
relationships including your marriage.

Let
us Pray: God, our Father, give us the grace to follow you always as
our Father, our Lord, and our Master. And may we also respect the dignity of
others always – Amen.<o:p></o:p>

Homily (Reflection) for Saturday of
the Twenty-Fourth Week in Ordinary Time (I) (18th September, 2021)
on the Gospel

(B.V.M on Saturday, Opt. Mem)<o:p></o:p>

1Tim 6:13-16;<o:p></o:p>

Ps 99. (R.v.2);<o:p></o:p>

Lk 8:4-15.<o:p></o:p>

Topic: Clear the ground.<o:p></o:p>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jmJfPfRamNo/YUVofR-_XII/AAAAAAAAG8U/yP07vWWeCuITKihFMTNAU5rV0KzoOjp7ACLcBGAsYHQ/s259/18.09.2021.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="194" data-original-width="259" height="194" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jmJfPfRamNo/YUVofR-_XII/AAAAAAAAG8U/yP07vWWeCuITKihFMTNAU5rV0KzoOjp7ACLcBGAsYHQ/s0/18.09.2021.jpg" width="259" /></a></div> Today’s gospel covers the parable of the sower (Lk 8:4-8), its purpose (Lk 8:9-10), and its explanation (Lk 8:11-15).<o:p></o:p>

As a sower sowed his seed, some fell on the path where they were
trampled on, and the birds ate them up. The ones on the rock withered for lack
of moisture. Those among thorns were choked. Only the seeds in good soil
produced a hundredfold. Jesus warns, “Let anyone with ears to hear listen!”<o:p></o:p>

The seed is the word of God. Seeds on the path are those the
devil takes away the word from their hearts lest they believe and be saved. The
ones on the rock are those in whom the word has no root though they received it
with joy. They do not stand trials. The seeds among thorns are those the word they
received is choked. And the seeds in good soil are those “when they hear the
word, hold it fast in an honest and good heart, and bear fruit with patient
endurance.”<o:p></o:p>

Whenever we hear or read God’s word, possibilities abounds.
Their producing fruits or not is based mainly on us. Some who are aware of this
only pray and wait for miracle. Praying is good but no one can fly with prayer
alone. Prayer needs work and vice versa, cf. Jas 2:17, 26. The words of our prayer must be in tandem with our
works. <o:p></o:p>

Bible Reading: Eph 4:25 – 5:2; Jas 4:7-10.<o:p></o:p>

Let us pray: God, help us make our hearts
habitable for your word – Amen.<o:p></o:p>

1Tim 6:2-12;<o:p></o:p>

Ps 48:6-10.17-20. (R. Matt 5:3);<o:p></o:p>

Lk 8:1-3.<o:p></o:p>

Topic: Part of the Church. <o:p></o:p>

bringing the good news of the kingdom of God. He was accompanied by the twelve
and some women. <o:p></o:p>

Recall that when Jesus met Peter, Andrew, James, and John,
they were fishermen. He said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fish for
people.” They all left everything and followed Him, cf. Matt 4:19,21. 19:27; Mk 1:17,20. 10:28; Lk 5:10b-11.
18:28. Saint Mark summarized the purpose of the twelve in these words, “...he
appointed twelve ... to be with him, and to be sent out to preach, cf. Mk 3:14.<o:p></o:p>

The women who accompanied Jesus in today’s gospel were cured
of evil spirits and infirmities. On their part, they provided for Jesus and His
apostles.<o:p></o:p>

Saint Paul describes the Church as a body, cf. 1Cor 12:12-13. Every part has specific
function/s, cf. 1Cor 12:17-19. We are
all members of His body, cf. Eph 5:30.
And we all have functions. No healthy part of a body is functionless. Do you perform
your function as a member of the church?<o:p></o:p>

Thought for today: You have responsibilities.<o:p></o:p>

Let us pray: God help us always to be conscious
that we are parts of the Church and to do our duties well – Amen.<o:p></o:p>

problems reconciling apostates and schism. Contrary to those who said that they
should not be forgiven and those with the opinion that they should be forgiven
but without heavy penance, Cornelius decreed that they must be welcomed back
and insisted that they perform adequate penance. He was exiled to Civitavecchia
where he died a martyr probably of hardships.<o:p></o:p>

Saint Cyprian of Carthage was born to wealthy pagans
around the year 190. He was converted at the age of 56, ordained a priest a
year later, and made bishop two years after. Cyprian was a close friend of Pope
Cornelius. He supported him both against the anti-pope Novatian and in his
views concerning the re-admittance of apostates into the Church. He was
martyred during the persecutions of Emperor Valerian on September 14, 258.<a href="file:///C:/Users/Fr.%20Moses/Desktop/Weekday%20Homilies/Daily%20Tonic%20for%20Year%20I%20(2020-2021)/Ordinary%20Time%20(I)/Twenty-Fourth%20Week%20in%20Ordinary%20Time%20(I)%20(2021).docx#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn1;" title=""><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 110%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">[1]</a><o:p></o:p>

Jesus was a guest in the house of a Pharisee named Simon when
a known sinner in the city came with an alabaster jar of ointment. She stood at
Jesus’ feet and bathed them with her tears, dried them with her hair, kissed
and anointed them with the ointment. The Pharisee was uncomfortable knowing too
well the kind of person the woman was. Jesus told him a story of a creditor who
had two debtors. One owed him five hundred denarii, and the other fifty. The
creditor cancelled their debts when they could not pay. Jesus then asked him
who among the two would love the creditor more. Simon answered, ‘I suppose the
one for whom he cancelled the greater debt.’<o:p></o:p>

Turning to the woman Jesus said to Simon, <o:p></o:p>

<blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;">Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you gave me no
water for my feet, but she has bathed my feet with her tears and dried them
with her hair. You gave me no kiss, but from the time I came in she has not
stopped kissing my feet. You did not anoint my head with oil, but she has
anointed my feet with ointment. Therefore, I tell you, her sins, which are
many, have been forgiven; hence she has shown great love.</blockquote></blockquote></blockquote>

This sinful woman was before Jesus’ host and indeed the
people of the city a total write-off, cf. Lk
18:11. Hence, he doubted Jesus’ authenticity just because He allowed the
woman to touch His feet. <o:p></o:p>

Beyond how others saw the sinful woman, she willingly
supplied those things the Pharisee would have done as a host in extraordinary
way. Physically, she came with only an alabaster jar of ointment yet she was
able to produce enough tears out of sorrow for her sins to bathe Jesus’ feet.
And without a towel, she wiped them with her pride as a sign of her humility,
cf. 1Cor 11:15. She did not measure
less in love because she kept kissing those feet passionately because they are
better than those that bring good news, cf. Rom 10:15. And selflessly she profusely poured ointment on those
feet.<o:p></o:p>

All these ‘hidden under many sins’ earned her the words she
needed most: “Your sins are forgiven.” And, “Your faith has saved you, go in
peace.” We must come back to God with our burdens of sin for pardon. Nobody is
a total write-off before God. The saints we celebrate today understood this hence
they insisted on readmitting the apostates and the schism.<o:p></o:p>

Bible Reading: Is 1:2-20; Lk 18:9-14; Heb 8:1-13.<o:p></o:p>

Thought for today: God still loves you.<o:p></o:p>

Let us pray: May the God of compassion forgive us
all our sins, – Amen.<o:p></o:p>

Homily (Reflection) for the Memorial
of Our Lady of Sorrows (15th September, 2021) on the Gospel and the
Memorial

<o:p> </o:p>

1Tim 3:14-16;<o:p></o:p>

Ps 110:1-6. (R.v.2);<o:p></o:p>

Jn 19:25-27
or Lk 2:33-35.<o:p></o:p>

In today’s gospel (Jn
19:25-27), while Jesus was hanging on the cross, the disciple whom He loved
was standing beside His mother. Jesus said to His mother, “Woman, here is your
son.” And to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” The gospel further reads,
“And from that hour the disciple took her into his own home.”<o:p></o:p>

Christ prayed that all His disciples may perfectly be one, cf.
Jn 17:11. 21-23. However, enmity
among His disciples keeps skyrocketing without a just cause. Each group claims
to be God’s chosen and that He hears no other voice but theirs. Some see and
treat others as pagans. As a result of the confusion, none sees anything good
in whatever others do. And this affects a lot of things with particular
reference to the honour due to the mother of Jesus. <o:p></o:p>

Mary stood with Jesus from His conception to His death on the
cross. The bible attests to this. She carried Him for nine months in her womb,
cf. Lk 1:31.2:3-7. Mary and Saint
Joseph presented Him in the temple, cf.  Lk 2:33-35. When He remained in
Jerusalem, they searched for Him for three days, cf. Lk 2:41-46. At her request, Jesus performed His first miracle when
His time had not reached, cf. Jn 2:1-11.
In today’s gospel, she was with Him at the climax of His suffering. She did not
even retire after His death, resurrection, and ascension. She stayed and prayed
with His disciples, cf. Acts 1:14.
We limit ourselves to these.<o:p></o:p>

Jesus promised that whoever endures to the end will be saved,
cf. Matt 10:22. 24:13; Mk 13:13.
Again, that He will give to those who stood by Him a kingdom, cf. Lk 22:28-30. Mary was never found
wanting in any of the criteria Jesus use to reward His disciples. Therefore,
since she stood so faithfully, she can’t miss now. Whoever thinks that she is
given too much ought to know that it is God himself who raised her up, cf. Lk 1:28,30-33, 41-45,48-49. And she
gave herself entirely, cf. Lk 1:38. <o:p></o:p>

As we struggle to have Jesus as our personal Lord and
Saviour, it is important also to consider the place of Mary in our lives.
Immediately Jesus gave John to her, the gospel reads, “And from that hour the
disciple took her into his own home”. Where do you keep Jesus’ mother?<o:p></o:p>

Bible Reading: Lk 2:22-51.<o:p></o:p>

Thought for today: Mary shared in Jesus’ suffering.<o:p></o:p>

Let us pray: Lord, open our hearts to understand
how much your mother shared in your suffering – Amen.<o:p></o:p>

True Cross in Jerusalem in the fourth century. However, the Persians captured
it and only returned it after Byzantine Emperor Heraclius defeated the Persian
king Khosrau II. The feast of the Triumph of the Cross commemorates the return of
the Holy Cross to Jerusalem by Emperor Heraclius in 629.<a href="file:///C:/Users/Fr.%20Moses/Desktop/Weekday%20Homilies/Daily%20Tonic%20for%20Year%20I%20(2020-2021)/Ordinary%20Time%20(I)/Twenty-Fourth%20Week%20in%20Ordinary%20Time%20(I)%20(2021).docx#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn1;" title=""><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 110%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">[1]</a>  This feast draws our attention to the cross
of Jesus, the symbol of that great gift from God. It reminds us how much God loves
the world, cf. Jn 3:16.<a href="file:///C:/Users/Fr.%20Moses/Desktop/Weekday%20Homilies/Daily%20Tonic%20for%20Year%20I%20(2020-2021)/Ordinary%20Time%20(I)/Twenty-Fourth%20Week%20in%20Ordinary%20Time%20(I)%20(2021).docx#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn2;" title=""><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 110%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">[2]</a>
And the way we ought to follow to enter eternal life.<o:p></o:p>

Jesus told Nicodemus that only He, the Son of Man, has
ascended to heaven. He must be lifted up, “that whoever believes in him may
have eternal life”. God loves the world to the point “that he gave his only
Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal
life.” He did not send the Son to condemn the world but to save the world
through Him.<o:p></o:p>

Today’s gospel brings out the link between faith and
salvation. Eternal life (salvation) is the outcome of believing in Jesus
Christ, cf. Rom 10:13; Acts 16:31.
Believing in Him entails doing what He tells us, cf. Matt 7:21.<o:p></o:p>

Jesus tells us, “I am the door; if any one enters by me, he
will be saved...” (Jn 10:9).
Entering through Him implies following Him. And it requires one denying
him/herself and coming with his/her own cross, cf. Matt 10:38. 16:24; Lk 9:23. 14:27.<o:p></o:p>

Carrying cross involves self abasement, cf. Matt 27:42; Mk 15:32. It demands
humility, cf. Phil 2:6-8. It is not
a matter of compulsion like in the case of Simon of Cyrene, Matt 27:32; Mk 15:21; Lk 23:26. It must
be total and willingly too, cf. 2Cor
9:7; Philem 1:14. However, attitude towards the cross might render it
powerless, cf. 1Cor 1:17.<o:p></o:p>

Denying oneself and picking cross call for Christlike
attitude before any cross God wills for one, cf. Matt 6:10. 26:42; Lk 22:42; Acts 21:14. Cross in question is far from two
pieces of wood joined together. It is found in the undesirables that come one’s
way. <o:p></o:p>

Before Christ died on the cross, it was something cursed and
whoever dies on it is cursed, cf. Gal
3:13. However, Christ redefined the cross by carrying and dying on it.
Hence Saint Paul writes, “But far be it from me to glory except in the cross of
our Lord Jesus Christ...” (Gal 6:14).
It is disheartening that many still live with the old meaning of the cross
thereby making themselves its enemies, cf. Phil
3:18. Every child of God ought to pick his/her own cross and follow Christ
as required so as to be where Christ is, cf. Rom 8:17. In every situation, we ought to be Lord’s, cf. Rom 14:8.<o:p></o:p>

Bible Reading: Phil 3:16–4:1; Col 1:15-23. 2:6-15.<o:p></o:p>

Let us pray: Lord, give me the heart to accept
any cross you will for me – Amen.<o:p></o:p>

Jesus Christ crucified on the cross –
Have Mercy on us.<o:p></o:p>

account of his eloquence was born in Antioch of Christian parents, about the
year 344. He studied rhetoric under Libanius. In 374, he began to lead the life
of an anchorite in the mountains near Antioch, but in 386 the poor state of his
health forced him to return to Antioch, where he was ordained a priest. In 398,
he was elevated to the See of Constantinople and became one of the greatest
lights of the Church. He was exiled on account of the accusations against him
from his enemies. The Pope remaining with him consoled him. He was later banished
further to the very extremity of the Empire (Pythius). He died on his way there
on September 14, 407.<a href="file:///C:/Users/Fr.%20Moses/Desktop/Weekday%20Homilies/Daily%20Tonic%20for%20Year%20I%20(2020-2021)/Ordinary%20Time%20(I)/Twenty-Fourth%20Week%20in%20Ordinary%20Time%20(I)%20(2021).docx#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn1;" title=""><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 110%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">[1]</a>
Saint John is the patron saint of Constantinople, education, epilepsy,
lecturers, orators, and preachers. He is venerated in Roman Catholic Church, Eastern
Orthodoxy, Oriental Orthodoxy, and Church of the East.<a href="file:///C:/Users/Fr.%20Moses/Desktop/Weekday%20Homilies/Daily%20Tonic%20for%20Year%20I%20(2020-2021)/Ordinary%20Time%20(I)/Twenty-Fourth%20Week%20in%20Ordinary%20Time%20(I)%20(2021).docx#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn2;" title=""><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 110%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">[2]</a><o:p></o:p>

A centurion in Capernaum who loves the Jews and built a
synagogue for them had a slave he valued highly, who was ill and close to
death. He sent some Jewish elders to ask Jesus to come and heal his slave.
Jesus was already near to his house, when he sent friends to say to Jesus,
“Lord, do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy to have you come under my
roof; therefore I did not presume to come to you. But only speak the word and
let my servant be healed....” Jesus was amazed and said to the crowd following
Him, “I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such faith.” His slave was
healed instantly.<o:p></o:p>

The gospel describes this centurion as both wealthy and
influential person. Yet he was an epitome of so many virtues. His love was
boundless. And this was far from mere words: he erected a synagogue for the
Jews and sought for the cure of a slave he could afford so many of them. He taught
us that one’s value is far from his/her social status. His humility was heroic.
He considered himself unworthy to meet Jesus. Hence, he sent the Jewish elders
to meet Jesus and also prayed through friends that He should not enter under
his roof. His faith even surprised Jesus.<o:p></o:p>

All we have are gifts, cf. 1Cor 4:7. God’s blessings demand much humility lest they turn to
their possessors’ perdition, cf. Jas
5:3-6. Nobody takes any out of this world, cf. Ps 49:16-17. They are to be extended to more and more people to
increase thanksgiving, to the glory of God, cf. 2Cor 4:15. We are expected to emulate our Lord Jesus Christ, who
became poor, so that we might become rich, cf. 2Cor 8:9.<o:p></o:p>

Bible Readings: Phil 2:1-11.<o:p></o:p>

Thought for today: ...all things were created through him and for him (Col 1:16).<o:p></o:p>

Let us pray: God open my eyes to see the worth of
every creature – Amen.<o:p></o:p>
