14th SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME; Independence day- July 4th

Today we celebrate the 14th Sunday in Ordinary Time and we celebrated the Independence Day on past Wednesday.

The Ordinary Time is the period of the year in which we are looking on the life of Jesus from our own perspective. We have the problems and we are looking in the Gospel – the Good News for some kind of help and a solution of our problems. This Sunday gives us the example of Nazareth’s people unbelieving in Jesus and His power to do miracles in their own lives. The familiar of Jesus and the closeness with the Church leads us to be in a rut.

We have to seek in each Eucharist, especially in todays, the new ways for our daily lives. We have to look for the newness of our faith to be glad and elated.

  • “We can either love God because we hope for something from Him, or we can hope in Him knowing that he Loves us. Sometimes we begin with the first kind of hope and grow into the second. In that case, hope and charity work together as close partners, and both rest in God.” (Thomas Merton – No Man is an Island)
  • MY MISSION: When I am the disciple of Christ and the member of his Church I realize this and participate in all matters which concern Him. The Ordinary Season and the Sunday’s Masses are not my challenge but my privilege.

One Main Point

Jesus, the teacher and miracle worker, is misunderstood and rejected by his own people.

Reflections

  1. Who have been the prophets to me, speaking the words of God? Did I misunderstand and reject the prophets? What do God say to me through the prophets? How do I respond?
  2. Through the sacraments of baptism and confirmation, we are also anointed to be prophets. What evil do we see and criticize in our own world? What hope do we see and encourage people with? Are we ready to be misunderstood and rejected by our own folks, like Jesus?
