Today my beloved resilient chosen pilgrim friends of the warrior light is St Justin Memoria, a Martyr.
Born of a pagan family in Kabul in Samaria at the beginning of the second century.He was a philosopher and on his conversion to the faith he wrote in defence of religion, though the only works now extant are hi two Apologies and his Dialogue addressed to Trypho.
He opened a School in Rome and he took part in public disputations. He suffered a martyr's death with his companions during the time of Marcus Aurelius, about the year 165.
Let's delve more deeper into the Gospel reading for today for all Roman Catholics all over the 🌎 globe.
GOSPEL
“They took the beloved son, killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.”
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Mark (Mark 12: 1-12)
At that time: Jesus began to speak to the chief priests and the scribes and the elders in parables. “A man planted a vineyard, and set a hedge around it, and dug a pit for the wine press, and built a tower, and leased it to tenants, and went into another country. When the time came, he sent a servant to the tenants, to get from them some of the fruit of the vineyard. And they took him and beat him, and sent him away empty-handed. Again he sent to them another servant, and they wounded him in the head, and treated him shamefully. And he sent another, and him they killed; and so with many others, some they beat and some they killed.” He had still one other, a beloved son; finally he sent him to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’ But those tenants said to one another, ‘This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’ And they took him and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard. “What will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the tenants, and give the vineyard to others. Have you not read this Scripture: ‘The very stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner; this was the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes’?” And they tried to arrest him, but feared the multitude, for they perceived that he had told the parable against them; so they left him and went away.
The Gospel of the Lord.
Note:But those tenants said to one another, ‘This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’ And they took him and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.
There are some of us who have inheritance in God because of what is to come the enemy the devil will not rest.
Always pray hard and work smarter.
Take the psalmist song: Onyeakam.
May your days be filled with laughter and joy like the days of Isaac and Solomon.
Happy new month.
Peace be with you.
