“ THEY FAIL TO SEE THEIR GREATER SIN.”

Reflection 🤔
“Can a blind man lead another blind person? Will they not both fall into the ditch? “ Jesus exposed the hypocrisy, arrogance, and self- righteousness of the Pharisees. They see the mistakes of others but fail to see their greater sin. In our society, there are many hypocritical and corrupt leaders. What is worse, we turn a blind eye and continue to follow their crooked path, and we continue to ignore their wrongdoing. There is too much chaos and suffering experienced by people, especially the poor and marginalized, so let us not allow our leaders to continue committing these abuses and injustices. When will we wake up and become aware of the truth ?

“ Guide me, Lord, along the everlasting way.”

Gospel Reading: Luke 6:27-38

“ THE LORD WANTS US TO LOVE OUR ENEMIES.”

It is challenging to live out the commandment of Jesus, especially to love our enemies. To not return hate with hate. But this is how we will be identified as disciples of Christ, to forgive and love eternally and unconditionally. Jesus said we are no different from sinners unless we surpass their love. What wonder is there if we love only those who love us and do good to those who do the same to us ? The Lord wants us to love our enemies, those who continue to harm us, and those who test our patience and kindness. Understand, love and pray for our enemies so that we can overcome the anger that dwells in our hearts. 💞

REFLECTION: Our palms are channels of grace.”

The palm is a symbol of God’s love and generosity. Our palms are channels of grace. Even our names are engraved on the palms of the Lord ( Isaiah 49) . Isn’t it true that we become instruments of God’s grace by being generous? Only an open palm can receive and give. This is also what will connect us to Jesus. It is not hunger, poverty, illness that makes us blessed; it is our relationship with Jesus, despite all this. Are our palms open or closed? The choice is ours: to be blessed or to be unlucky.

FEAST OF THE NATIVITY OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY
SEPTEMBER 08, TUESDAY

Ps 13:6ab.6c
“ WITH DELIGHT I REJOICE IN THE LORD!”

1st Reading: Micah 5:1-4(or Romans 8:28-30)

Gospel Reading: Matthew 1:1-16,18-23*

This is the account of genealogy of Jesus Christ, son of David, son of Abraham. Abraham was the father of Isaac, Isaac the father of Jacob, Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers. Judah was the father of Perez and Zerah ( their mother was Tamar) Perez was the father of Hezron, and Hezron of Aram(…) Jacob was the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, and from her came Jesus who is called the Christ the Messiah. This is how Jesus Christ was born: Mary his mother had been given to Joseph in marriage, but before they lived together, she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit.
Then Joseph, her husband, made plans to divorce her in all secrecy. He was an upright man, and in no way he want to disgrace her.
While he was pondering over this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “ Joseph, descendant of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife . She has conceived by the Holy Spirit, and now she will bear a son. You shall call him’ JESUS’ for he will save his people from their sins.”
All this happened in order to fulfill what the Lord said through the prophet: the virgin will conceive and bear a son, and he will be called EMMANUEL, which means: GOD IS WITH US.

REFLECTION 🤔
“ EACH OF US HAS A ROLE TO PLAY.”

Today, we celebrate Mary’s nativity. In the Gospel, Mary faithfully fulfilled her mission in the history of our salvation. The Incarnation of the Redeemer was fulfilled through Mary’s acceptance of God’s will to be the mother of Jesus. In life, each of us has a role to play. The Lord calls us all to be part of His Kingdom and mission. Many good things can happen through our acceptance and living out God’s will. Just as the Blessed Virgin Mary was blessed among all women because of her obedience to the will of God the Father, we will also be blessed if we continue to live and share the word of God.
