OUR LADY OF MOUNT CARMEL
Food for Faith Living from the desk of Fr. Mark
If one truly opens heart and mind to God’s Word, it is an
ever repeated theme of life-giving for us to embrace. This is
the meaning of faith. It is simple to grasp, but difficult to do.
This has ever been the stumbling block for the human family.
We easily say “yes” to the message and then find ways to
justify our not living it. Welcome to the human race!
Welcome to the blind-spot of every religion! We may not give
it much thought or pay attention to it happening often in the
Bible.
The blind spot hinges on people’s response to God’s Will
and Word. In Deuteronomy (1st reading) Moses tells the
people “to heed the voice of the Lord, your God, and keep His
commandments with all your heart and soul.” The people
say “yes” cross into the Promised Land and slowly, but surely,
forget the commitment. Actually, they create a religion and
ritual laws, rules and practices all meant to worship and praise
God. They grow comfortable and secure in religious practices.
The mistake? They stop listening to what God is saying to
them: religious rituals become a substitute for doing what
God says, which is true faith.
In the Gospel (Luke) Jesus is asked: “What must I do to
inherit eternal life?” Jesus says: “You shall love God with all
your heart, being, strength, mind and your neighbor as yourself,” the essence of faith living. The man who asked is
shaken, so he seeks clarification: “Who is my neighbor?” The
wonderful story of the Good Samaritan is Jesus’ reply. We
know the story well: it contains the meaning of loving God
and neighbor. A traveler is beaten, robbed and left to die. A
priest passes by, a Levite too. Both see him and go on leaving
him unattended. A foreigner, whose tribe is despised by the
righteous, stops, binds up his wounds, takes him to an inn and
sees that his needs are taken care of, paying the expenses.
The obvious and clear meaning Jesus confirms: “Go and
do likewise.” Every person is a neighbor, especially those in
need or helpless. The answer challenges all of us to soulsearching honesty. There is no room for justifying refusals to
help, a powerful truth which has caused every generation
discomfort as we rationalize our excuses for not helping
others.
St. Paul (2nd reading) reminds us of who we, the baptized,
are: “We are the living Body of Jesus! Who is the head of His
Body, the Church. Living in Him, we are reconciled to God
and others making peace through the Blood of the Cross, the
Blood reconciling all humanity with God and each other.
Loving each other is the true
way to love God. An awesome Weekly Offering
