14th Sunday in Ordinary Time; Independence day

/ From the Pastor, Parish Life / By

Today we celebrate the 14th Sunday in Ordinary Time and yesterday we celebrated the Independence Day.

Today we are invited by Christ to come to Him and rest in Him, to make some kind of vacation with Him. How we will accept this invitation from Christ and make our load lighter? He wants to be with us as a helper and takes our burdens on his cross.

What kind of burdens do you need help shouldering today? Your sickness, your loneliness or maybe too many obligations for your small head? How will you share these burdens with Christ?

These questions are very important for us, because they are present in our daily lives. The consciousness of these things is for better understanding of our private faith.

The Eucharist, which we now celebrate, gives us the simple answer – Come to me all who are burdened and rest in me, take you love upon yourself and follow me. Come for Holy Mass and rest in Jesus Christ your Lord and Master.

“Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest.”

  4. 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 Sunday’s Masses are not my challenge but my privilege and my eternal hope.
  • My Heart is sorrowful, Jesus said, because even chosen souls do not understand the greatness of My mercy. Their relationship with Me is, in cartain, ways, imbued with mistrust. Oh, how much that wounds My Heart! Remember My Passion, and if you do not believe My words, at least believe My wounds. .(See Diary #379).

 One Main Point

Acceptance of Jesus’ message depends upon the Father’s revelation, but this is granted to those who are open to receive, and refused to the arrogant.

Reflections

  1. Do I always act solely based on my knowledge, or do I let my heart direct me in a meek and humble way? What type of person am I?
  2. What makes the relationship between the Father and the Son Jesus so close? How close is my relationship with God? How can I improve this relationship?
  3. Jesus’ law and teaching is easy and light “my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” What are the heavy burdens I am carrying? My job, my study, my family, my finance, my ambition…? Are they necessary? How can I make them lighter? How can He make them lighter?
