Homily (Reflection) for Saturday of the
Twenty-Third Week in Ordinary Time (II) (10th September, 2016) on
the Gospel
(BVM on Saturday, Opt Mem)
1Cor 10:14-22;
Ps 115:12-13.17-18. (R. v. 17);Lk 6:43-49.
Topic: A must do.
The word of God is preached today through various means that
were not available during the time of historical Jesus. Yet putting it into
practise is more challenging today than ever.
We read from Saint Paul’s letter to the Romans, “...it is not
the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law
who will be justified” (Rom 2:13). Saint
James also writes, “But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving
yourselves” (Jas 1:22).
Some fan themselves that God will understand their inability to
do some of His words because of the ones they do. It is important to remind ourselves
that God requires us to conform fully; “...whoever keeps the whole law but
fails in one point has become guilty of all of it” (Jas 2:10). So, where do you build – on the ground without a foundation
or on a foundation laid on the rock?
Bible Reading: Jas 1:19-27.
Thought for today: Do His words.
Let us pray: Lord, we need your help to put all your
words into action for we cannot achieve it on our own– Amen.
You are free to share this reflection
with others if you consider it worthy.
