21st September 2018 Friday 24th Week of Ordinary Time - St. Matthew

Reflection
Ephesians 4:1-7,11-13, Matthew 9:9-13
“The Object of God’s Unconditional Love"
In today’s gospel passage, Jesus was walking and saw Matthew sitting by the custom house. He said to him, “Follow me” For any other Jewish rabbi, Matthew would never be a suitable candidate to be a disciple.

Yet, Jesus broke all norms and called Matthew to be His disciple. He even went to Matthew’s house and had a meal with other tax collectors and social outcasts. Why? This was because Jesus regards each person as a beloved child of God. He did not see the people as ‘sinners’ or ‘tax collectors’ but as the object of God’s unconditional love. He broke down the walls of prejudices and hatred in order to bring God’s love to them.

19th September 2018 Wednesday 24th Week Of Ordinary Time - St. Januarius

Reflection
1 Corinthians 12:31-13:13, Luke 7:31-35
“Belonging to Wisdom”
“Yet, Wisdom has been proved right by all her children.”
What does Jesus mean by this saying? Who are Wisdom’s children?

The children of Wisdom are not the intellectuals who pride themselves of knowing everything. Instead those whose hearts are filled with simplicity and humility belong to Wisdom. This is because Wisdom herself is humble and simple, and looks constantly towards God for His light of Truth and Love.
