Solemnity of Christ the King Theme: Real leadership entails Suffering Service 25-11-12

Solemnity of Christ the King Theme: Real leadership entails suffering service 25-11-12 1st Reading Daniel 7:13-14 the one most venerable! 2nd Reading Revelation 1:5-8 the Almighty Alpha and Omega! Gospel John 18:33-37 are you the King of the Jews? The two Kingdoms Jesus showed by suffering on earth he overcame death to reign triumphant in heaven! Saint John in his statement of Passion explains that Kingship of Jesus is not that of an earthly king or a politician. He never tells us Jesus is King. Till the painful description of passion he speaks repeatedly about his kingship. All these last few 33 Sundays we have been following Jesus in his various activities as our Master, as our savior, as our leader, as our healer, as our teacher, as our brother, as the one who calls us to serve him in suffering. Whenever people misunderstood him and tried to make him king he always escaped from their midst. He was a natural leader during his life time. People followed him out of curiosity, wanted to hear him when he spoke because he spoke with authority. It could happen only if one is sensitive to the reality one is used to. Jesus was such.. Last function of service is the one which we will try to meditate on this wonderful feast of our Leader, who came to call sinners, to bring healing, to restore, and be a motivating factor to all of us. He has told us again and again we will have to suffer to reach our goal heaven. So we must willingly live our lives as Christians. When the universal church celebrates the great feast of Christ our King today we proclaim him as our king. We solemnly proclaim his kingdom in the prayer we so very personally recite everyday may be hundreds of times. This prayer has the module of asking God to bring his kingdom. Why are we saying this prayer? Though Jesus so very insistently tells us he is not the king in the sense the humans have a sense of kingship. His kingdom is not of this world. We so naturally seeks in the our Father to send his Kingdom. It is father’s Kingdom. Then who is this King Jesus our master? He is the rightful owner, the prince who has completed the mission given to him by his father. He went and lived the humblest of reality. Human condition of want, hunger, even the sense of sin but not the sin itself. Though he was God he took upon himself the conditions of man. Except sin he became every thing to every one every where. That is why his kingdom is endless. Because he has over come the earthly power by becoming obedient unto death and won over and rose to be reigning as triumphant. The first two reading speak the glory of Jesus second advent. The word Glory is often used in the Old Testament, for the light filled splendor of God’s presence. Because when Jesus tells Philip in the gospel, “to have seen me is to have seen the Father”, though people could not recognize him, he always said “my kingdom is not of this world” In Jesus kingdom he does not call us servants, but friends, companion, family members. What an honor!!!! Wishing you all happy feast of the feast of the Solemnity of Christ the King!!! Yours ever in the divine word, Fr. Juze Vaz svd

33rd Sunday Ordinary Time Year B Theme Spiritual pilgrimage

33rd Sunday Ordinary time B 18-11-12 1st Reading Daniel 12:1-3 Time of the End 2nd Reading Heb 10:11-14,18 efficiency of Christ’s sacrifice!! Gospel Mk 13:24-32 coming of the Son of man. Theme: ! Spiritual Pilgrimage ! After a wonderful religious journey in the person of Saint Mark for the last few weeks we have been following Jesus instructing us through his religious discourses. He has been a unique teacher who used parables, miracles, discourses, stories, natural happenings of the day to tell us how God has been treating us to be saved. Salvation as a reality, we seek it in various religious activities. When we go for spiritual renewals we engage in reflecting on our religious experiences, these will assist us to deepen our relationship to each other and thus our relationship to God. Prophet Daniel in the first reading narrates destruction of the temple, which for the Jews was the focal point of religious wellbeing. To witness the destruction of the temple meant the downward trend in religiosity of the Jews. Prophet’s predictions of the temple did surely come true. History is the witness to this in the year 70 Ad the temple was in fact destroyed. By a gentile army of Titus the king. Mark must have been a first hand witness to this event so when he narrates the same event in connection to the life of an early Christian community, the reality becomes meaningful because Jesus taught us that our body is the temple of God and only sin could destroy this temple. The value of the temple destruction, in fact becomes more relevant, in the modern time when we witness these values being eroded by licentious living and other moral degradation. We know from the times when the disciples began to announce the values of the kingdom there have been persecutions to the reality of the believing community. This is narrated in detail in the acts of the apostles, in the life of the early church. Persecution and destruction is a normal reality in the life of the believer. Haven’t we lived this and experience this even today? Does it deepen our faith and strengthen our commitment to the Lord even to lay down our own lives for the faith? Then as the church reaches the end of cycle B to begin the great event of Jesus as the King of kings, even though the kingship of Jesus is not of this world but of heaven, we give him that honor. The imagery used by the prophet and the writer of the Gospel to indicate the reality of suffering faithful is also real because even in modern times the suffering is a reality that is visible in our own country and in other places like in China and other countries where there is no religious freedom. Though our country has a constitution which professes to be secular, when it comes to living this reality it is far from it. The governments that have come and gone spoke so much about this but none have, even lifted a finger to redress this freedom. So when we see in the second reading the God sending his only son, he in turn has offered himself forever as the one perfect sacrifice once and only once and it is sufficient proof of his love for the whole of mankind. So in our religious journey towards our heavenly city in our pilgrimage of love let us live this vision of a place for us where there will be life which is full and ever united with the Lord. In union with the divine word, Wishing you all a happy 33rd Sunday. Yours ever Fr. Juze Vaz svd

32^nd Sunday in Ordinary Time year B 11-11-12

Theme: the generosity of the poorest of the poor! 

1^st Reading 1^st Kings 17:10-16 Miracle of flour and oil.

2^nd Reading Hebrews 9:24-28 Christ seals the new covenant with his blood.

Gospel Mark 12:38-44 Jesus condemns craftiness of the scribes and praises the widow’s mite!

It is very revealing how the poorest of the poor come forward during the times of crisis to come to the aid of the suffering.

We have seen this during times of flood, famine, earthquake and  man made calamities like terrorist attack etc.

In the modern time we see this in the TV & Radio news giving vivid pictures of the happenings.

It is usually the poor people who come not minding whatever the cost.

Even when blood is needed how people who are poor who know what it means to donate blood come forward to donate blood.

Recently we read a priest donating his kidney to save a non believer!!!!

A child donating his life’s saving to save poor people.

When there are accidents it is the poor people who rush to the accident site to help the wounded and the needy.

There are some politicians use such occasions to make name donating money and material.

When some one does such charities to make name and fame this does not stem from the heart.

We can see this on their face!!!!

In today’s two reading the widows who are given as the models for us to follow in our daily generosity are exceptional people. Widows do not mind sharing the little they have.

In the Gospel we find the widow giving all she has to the temple treasury!

When in contributing the possession to the needy the attitude with which it is given is the result.

Sharing generously is exceptional.

When we deprive ourselves some comfort to make the needy comfortable is real generosity.

I have a department where the people who contribute to the poor children in our mission are the most generous.

Some times they deprive themselves and their children the most essential things to help our children in our care.

There are stories of families forgoing holidays to make people have medical facilities which otherwise they would never be able to avail.

These are not recorded but lived realities when we are in the parish we come across such generous instances.

We may say this happens because of emotional blackmailing.

This  is not true unless and until a person is not touched by God’s grace will such acts of charity will come to be a reality.

This could be even a non believer who goes out of his way to make some people comfortable.

And usually it is the poorest of the poor in these communities who are most generous.

We have narrations from the life of Mother Theresa when she was given by so many people money when she thought she was at the end of her last penny.

When we experience Jesus generous suffering for our salvation of which the Second Reading informs us saying that he entered once bringing the salvific event to fulfillment.

Surely this reality when it becomes ours we can say God has touched us.

Wishing you a very nice fruitful Sunday celebration of the Eucharist along with all your sisters and brothers in your parish.

Yours ever in the divine word,

दैनिक सुविचार Suvichar : Share दैनिक सुविचार 31st Sunday in Ordinary Time Year B Theme Rules for life

दैनिक सुविचार Suvichar : Share दैनिक सुविचार31^st Sunday in Ordinary Time B 2012

1^st Reading Deut 6:2-6 First commandment, ‘Love God’.

2^nd Reading Heb 7: 23-28 The perfection of Heavenly high priest.

Gospel Mk 12:28 b -34 Greatest commandment of all to love God and love neighbor.

The Old Testament gave great importance to keeping the law of the Lord.

The first was to love God with one whole heart.

The earliest rule for the chosen race was to keep the law given by God.

There was no exception.

They even wrote it on their forehead.

It was so important that no one could add or subtract any iota from its meaning.

Today when we read this in the first reading we are reminded of the significance of this in our lives.

We know Jesus our redeemer came in to our lives only to reveal the splendor of this God who loves us personally.

All through his public ministry Jesus attempted to reveal the goodness of the Father to his listeners.

There are various rules that keep on repeating.

As day and night happen without our knowing.

This law of nature happens without failure.

We take it for granted.

If this does not happen we feel something strange has happened.

We see that rules in our lives are able to make our life more regular.

We see that Jesus came to give us this as a revelation.

He saw that his listeners understood all the rules of life.

He even told them that he came to bring to fulfillment the law of God.

He was the fulfillment of the law he said.

In him all the laws came to fruition.

Asking questions and getting an answer had been the way the Pharisees and the Saducees went about.

Today they want to test him and ask which is the greatest of the commandments.

Jesus rightly answers them and shows he knows the Rule which they held as holy.

And he adds his own version which is new love your neighbor as yourself.

And the scribe is very glad to know Jesus knows his catechism.

He praises him and tells that Jesus has answered the question rightly.

Jesus also praises the scribe saying he is not very far from the kingdom of God.

Are we not interested in the Kingdom of God?

How we try to live his law meaningfully.

We have many ways of following Jesus and his mission.

We have come here to the church to be part of God’s loving family.

When we live our call as Christians and live our call meaningfully God’s kingdom is in our midst.

Come let us be part of God’s loving family,

With a wish for a nice Sunday

Yours ever in the divine word,

Fr. Juze vas svd
