Homily (Reflection) for
the Twenty-Sixth Sunday of the Year (B) (26th September, 2021) on
the Gospel

Num
11:25-29;

Ps
18:8.10.12-14 (R. V. 9);

Jas
5:1-6;

Mk 9:38-43. 45. 47-48 (9:38-48).

Ngozi, a little girl
of about five years old had watched her mother with keen interest while
preparing meals especially as she opens pots that has been on fire for a long
time without using anything to protect her hands. One day, she enquired from her
mother the secret behind the magic (act). In response, her mother told her that
fire does not hurt elderly people. And without questioning further, Ngozi
assimilated her mother’s reply as it was given.

After some weeks,
Ngozi was at their neighbour’s house playing with her mates while their mother
was cooking at the kitchen. The kitchen has no walls so the children could see
virtually everything going on there. At a point, the woman opened the pot to
see how the cooking was going but she could not bear the heat of the cover that
made her to scream and threw the cover on the floor. Ngozi full of amazement
asked her play mates (mostly children of the woman), ‘So your mother is still a
little girl?’

Topic: Quo Vadis – Heaven or Hell?

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-juBKtajzO48/YU_uTj6QqFI/AAAAAAAAG9w/VSH9jFLokNUnhbp6ZHtI4OITUXwMSBUOgCLcBGAsYHQ/s259/26.09.2021.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/-juBKtajzO48/YU_uTj6QqFI/AAAAAAAAG9w/VSH9jFLokNUnhbp6ZHtI4OITUXwMSBUOgCLcBGAsYHQ/s0/26.09.2021.jpg" width="259" /></a></div> Today’s gospel can be divided into two:
teaching about Another Exorcist using Jesus’ name and teaching about
Temptations to Sin. But we shall concentrate on the second one – Temptations to
Sin.

Often people offer assorted
reasons why they indulged in one sin or another. In today’s gospel however, we
see how grievous is the consequences of sin in Jesus teaching, <o:p></o:p>

If your hand causes you to sin,
cut it off. It’s better to enter eternal life with only one hand than to go
into unquenchable fires of hell with two hands. If your foot causes you to sin,
cut it off. It’s better to enter eternal life with only one foot than to be
thrown into hell with two feet. And if your eye causes you to sin, gouge it
out. It’s better to enter the Kingdom of God with only one eye than to have two
eyes and be thrown into hell, ‘where the
maggots never die and the fire never goes out.’ (Mk 9:43, 45, 47-48. LASB, NLT).<o:p></o:p>

This teaching can be reframed in
many ways for easier assimilation like: If earthly life, health, money,
marriage, children, parents, friends, property, connection, and so on will
cause you to sin, cut it/them out. It is better to enter the Kingdom of God
without them than to have them and be thrown into hell fire, ‘where the maggots
never die and the fire never goes out. Jesus warns,<o:p></o:p>

For those who want to save their
life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake will find it. For
what will it profit them if they gain the whole world but forfeit their life?
Or what will they give in return for their lives? (Matt 16:25-26).<o:p></o:p>

Our lives here on earth affect
others either positively or negatively. Hence, Jesus began the second part of
the gospel in this way, <o:p></o:p>

If any of you put a stumbling
block before one of these little ones who believe in me, it would be better for
you if a great millstone were hung around your neck and you were thrown into
the sea (Mk 9:42). <o:p></o:p>

The woman we saw in our
introductory story could not endure the steam from her pot and the temperature
of the cover of her pot, that are under her control. How can one endure the
fires of hell? Jesus warns us of the fires of hell that were prepared for the
devil and his angels, cf. Matt 25:41.
Prophet Nahum rightly asked, “Who can stand before his indignation? Who can
endure the heat of his anger? His wrath is poured out like fire, and the rocks
are broken asunder by him” (Nah 1:6).
It is therefore left for each and every one of us to choose where to go –
heaven or hell.

Bible
Reading: Matt 7:13-14; 10:16-33; 16:24-27; 2Pt 2:1-22.<o:p></o:p>

Thought
for today: Where are you preparing for – heaven or hell?

Let
us Pray: God, our Father, help us to live the life that will earn us
the kingdom prepared for your blessed from the foundation of the world – Amen.<o:p></o:p>

Homily (Reflection) for Saturday of
the Twenty-Fifth Week in Ordinary Time (I), (25th September, 2021)
on the Gospel

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

Zech 2:5-9.14-15;<o:p></o:p>

Jer 31:10-13. (R. v.10);<o:p></o:p>

Lk 9:43-45.<o:p></o:p>

Topic: As you rise.<o:p></o:p>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vYpO11c2aqE/YU6e_R6Qp_I/AAAAAAAAG9g/T8COGU2Buu4Tp0HQL9HieAKXCd0SOV3IgCLcBGAsYHQ/s275/25.09.2021.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="183" data-original-width="275" height="183" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vYpO11c2aqE/YU6e_R6Qp_I/AAAAAAAAG9g/T8COGU2Buu4Tp0HQL9HieAKXCd0SOV3IgCLcBGAsYHQ/s0/25.09.2021.png" width="275" /></a></div> Jesus came into the world to save the world, cf. Jn 3:17. 12:47. In the words of Saint
Paul, “...Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners” (1Tim 1:15). This mission He was to
accomplish through His death on the cross, cf. Rom 5:10; Eph 2:16.<o:p></o:p>

In today’s gospel, “While everyone was amazed at all that he
[Jesus] was doing, he said to his disciples, ‘Let these words sink into your
ears: The Son of Man is going to be betrayed into human hands.’” In other
words, asking them to concentrate on the mission.<o:p></o:p>

We are in this world for a mission. But the tendency of
forgetting our mission seems to rise as we rise. We are admonished, “You shall
remember the LORD your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth” (Deut 8:18a). The Psalmist warns, “...if
riches increase, set not your heart on them” (Ps 62:10). This is because, “...the wise die, the fool and the
stupid alike must perish and leave their wealth to others” (Ps 49:10). Note, “He who loves money
will not be satisfied with money; nor he who loves wealth, with gain” (Eccl 5:10).<o:p></o:p>

Every increment comes with corresponding responsibility, cf. Eccl 5:11. However, not all who do
everything possible to rise are ready for the corresponding responsibility. As
you rise, do not lose your mission because it is based on the fulfilment of
your mission that you shall be rewarded. How far do you fulfil yours?<o:p></o:p>

Bible Reading: Ps 49:1-20. 52:1-9.<o:p></o:p>

Let us pray: Lord, assist us in fulfilling all
you required of us – Amen.<o:p></o:p>

Homily (Reflection) for Friday of the
Twenty-Fifth Week in Ordinary Time (I) (24th September, 2021) on the
Gospel

Hagg 2:1-9;<o:p></o:p>

Ps 42:1-4. (R. cf. v.5);<o:p></o:p>

Lk 9:18-22.<o:p></o:p>

Topic: Knowing Jesus. <o:p></o:p>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CvqJLRTmrgU/YU1LuH9G-tI/AAAAAAAAG9Y/89uGC7a15tEb5NBI88q0HqF3z0Hxdo1VQCLcBGAsYHQ/s275/24.09.2021.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="183" data-original-width="275" height="183" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CvqJLRTmrgU/YU1LuH9G-tI/AAAAAAAAG9Y/89uGC7a15tEb5NBI88q0HqF3z0Hxdo1VQCLcBGAsYHQ/s0/24.09.2021.jpg" width="275" /></a></div> In today’s gospel Jesus asked His disciples while praying,
“Who do the crowds say that I am?” They thought He was John the Baptist,
Elijah, or one of the ancient prophets. He asked further, “But who do you say
that I am?” Peter replied, “The Messiah of God.” He also foretold His death and
resurrection. <o:p></o:p>

The timing of these questions (when Jesus was praying), says
a lot about their necessity. Jesus came that we may have life in abundance, cf.
Jn 10:10. However, believing that
Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God is the key, cf. Jn 20:31. The letter to the Hebrews reads, “...without faith it is
impossible to please him. For whoever would draw near to God must believe that
he exists and that he rewards those who seek him” (Heb 11:6).<o:p></o:p>

Believing in God only needs our cooperation; “No one can come
to me unless the Father who sent me draws him” (Jn 6:44). We ought to beseech God earnestly to draw us to Himself. <o:p></o:p>

Thought for today: Who is Jesus?<o:p></o:p>

Let us pray: God, draw us to yourself that we may
believe in you – Amen.<o:p></o:p>

was born in Pietrelcina, Italy on 25th May, 1887 as Francesco
Forgione. His parents were both very religious and also very poor. As a result
of this, he took up a job which affected his studies negatively. He took the
name Pius (Pio) when he joined the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin. Saint Pio
was ordained in 1910 and was allowed to remain at home because of his poor
health. He received the gift of stigmata on September 20, 1916 while hearing
confessions. Saint Pio was known for his piety, charity and the quality of his
preaching. He prophesied in 1947 that Fr. Karol Wojtyla who visited him would become
a pope which fulfilled in 1978. He died in San Giovanni Rotondo, Italy on 23rd
September, 1968. Pope Saint John Paul II beatified him in 1999 and also canonized
him on 16th June, 2002. He is the patron saint of civil defence
volunteers, adolescents, and the village of Pietrelcina.<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>

When Herod heard about Jesus, he was perplexed because some
said that John had been raised from the dead. Herod wondered because he
beheaded John.<o:p></o:p>

The book of Proverbs reads, “The eyes of the LORD are in every
place, keeping watch on the evil and the good” (Prov 15:3). And He will repay everyone according to their deeds,
cf. Matt 16:27; Rev 22:12.<o:p></o:p>

Herod’s worry confirmed God’s words, “There is no peace...for
the wicked” (Is 48:22; cf. Is 57:21; Gen
50:15). God threatened to send curses, confusion, and frustration upon the
wicked, and in all they undertake until they are destroyed and perish on
account of the evil they do, cf. Deut
28:20.<o:p></o:p>

We must wash ourselves; make ourselves clean; remove the evil
of our doings and cease to do evil, cf. Is
1:16. Our life is like a mist that appears for a little time and then
vanishes, cf. Jas 4:14. The book of
Proverbs rightly warns, “Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what
a day may bring forth” (Prov 27:1).
We conclude with these words: Hurt not today that you may have peace tomorrow.<o:p></o:p>

Bible Reading: Jas 4:13-17.<o:p></o:p>

Thought for today: Prepare a peaceful tomorrow.<o:p></o:p>

Let us pray: God, give us a heart of flesh to
love you and our neighbours – Amen.<o:p></o:p>

Homily (Reflection) for Wednesday of
the Twenty-Fifth Week in Ordinary Time (I) (22nd September, 2021) on
the Gospel

Ezra 9:5-9;<o:p></o:p>

Tob 13:2.4.6-8. (R.v.1);<o:p></o:p>

Lk 9:1-6.<o:p></o:p>

Topic: Call to duty.<o:p></o:p>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TSkzIYRPgL8/YUqyvnHo31I/AAAAAAAAG9E/tE_n-L5Kw9syIEzrERN9h6FmIJheRTSsgCLcBGAsYHQ/s318/22.09.2021.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="159" data-original-width="318" height="159" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TSkzIYRPgL8/YUqyvnHo31I/AAAAAAAAG9E/tE_n-L5Kw9syIEzrERN9h6FmIJheRTSsgCLcBGAsYHQ/s0/22.09.2021.png" width="318" /></a></div> In today’s gospel Jesus sent the twelve out with the
authority over the unclean spirits. He said to them, “Take nothing for your
journey, no staff, nor bag, nor bread, nor money – not even an extra tunic” (Lk 9:3). They should stay in any house
where they are welcomed until they leave the place and should shake off the
dust on their feet while leaving the place where they are not welcomed. The
twelve preached the good news and also cured the diseased.<o:p></o:p>

Considering Jesus’ instruction to the twelve it looks as if
God was about to repeat what He did during the Israelites’ journey to the
promised land; they spent forty years in the wilderness yet their clothes did not
worn out, and their sandals did not worn off their feet; cf. Deut 29:5. He also provided bread,
meat, and water for them all through their journey, cf. Ex 15:23-25; 16:4, 10-15, 21, 35; 17:2-6. Otherwise, how could they survive?<o:p></o:p>

In a parallel passage, there is a clue to how Jesus wanted
them to survive: labourers deserve their food (Matt 10:10). And in Luke, Jesus sheds more light, “Remain in the
same house, eating and drinking whatever they provide, for the labourer
deserves to be paid.... eat what is set before you” (Lk 10:7,8).<o:p></o:p>

Jesus is telling us in today’s gospel that we all have our
respective tasks with regard to the spreading of the gospel. The faithful is to
provide for their ministers. If ministers of God leave their work in search of
bread, bag, money, tunics and so on surely they will find these but not without
inflicting serious injuries to the souls they are to pasture. Simply put, souls
will be lost. And dearest ministers of God remember Pauline maxim, “If anyone
will not work, let him not eat” (2Thess
3:10).<o:p></o:p>

Thought for today: You have a role in the spreading of the gospel.<o:p></o:p>

Let us pray: Lord, help every one of us to do our
parts in your vineyard so that the gospel will continue to spread to the ends
of the earth – Amen.<o:p></o:p>

Homily (Reflection) for the Feast of
Saint Matthew, Ap. Evang. (21st September, 2021) on the Gospel and
the Feast

Eph 4:1-7.11-13;<o:p></o:p>

Ps 18:2-5. (R.v.5);<o:p></o:p>

Matt 9:9-13.<o:p></o:p>

Luke, cf. Mk 2:14; Lk 5:27. He was
son of Alphaeus, cf. Mk 2:14.
Matthew was a tax collector, cf. Matt
9:9; Mk 2:14; Lk 5:27. He was listed among the apostles, cf. Matt 10:3; Mk 3:18; Lk 6:15; Acts 1:13.
Matthew wrote one of the gospels and is the patron Saint of Accountants, Actors,
Bankers, Bookkeepers, Tax collectors, and Taxi Drivers.<o:p></o:p>

Topic: Really well?<o:p></o:p>

Jesus saw Matthew in today’s gospel sitting at the tax booth
and said to him, “Follow me.” He got up and followed Him. At a dinner in his
house, Jesus sat among many tax collectors and sinners.<o:p></o:p>

The Pharisees complained against Jesus dinning and winning
with tax collectors and other sinners because they judged themselves righteous.
This pharisaic attitude continues till today. Many categorise themselves as
righteous under different names.<o:p></o:p>

How can we explain passages like: “Surely there is not a
righteous man on earth who does good and never sins” (Eccl 7:20). Saint John also asserted, “If we say we have no sin, we
deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us” (1Jn 1:8). Again, Jesus’ command to continually pray for the
forgiveness of our sins, cf. Matt 6:12;
Lk 11:4.<o:p></o:p>

Jesus replied them in part, “Those who are well have no need
of a physician, but those who are sick.” By implication, those with pharisaic
mentality do not look for Jesus. It requires great humility to admit one’s
faults. Anyone who cannot admit his/her sins cannot pray, cf. Lk 18:9-14. <o:p></o:p>

One’s inability to acknowledge his/her sinfulness retains
one’s guilt, cf. Jn 9:41. Like the
Jews, many who read the bible refused to come to Jesus to have life, cf. Jn 5:39-40. Jesus does not cast out
anyone who comes to Him, cf. Jn 6:37.<o:p></o:p>

Matthew followed Jesus when He called him because he
acknowledged he was a sinner. And Saint Paul judged himself the worst of
sinners, 1Tim 1:15. I confess that I
am worse than all and ask God to have mercy on me, cf. Lk 18:13. What about you?<o:p></o:p>

Let us pray: God, be merciful to me a sinner –
Amen (cf. Lk 18:13).<o:p></o:p>

Saint Matthew the Evangelist – Pray
for us.<o:p></o:p>

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

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>

the Twenty-Fourth Week in Ordinary Time (I) (18th September, 2021)
on the Gospel

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>

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