From the Desk of Father Mizzi-Gili th 8 Sunday in Ordinary Time March 3, 2019
Greetings to All!
As I sat down last week to write my page for the bulletin, the passage about which I had written was from Mark’s Gospel and of the weekday and not last Sunday- apparently the 3 cups of coffee I had were not enough- lol (laughing out loud.)
From last Sunday’s Gospel from Luke, we continue on in chapter in chapter 6 and in the sections on love of emeries and on judging others, we come up to the section of the tree and its fruits. As we journey on this path to holiness, we learn from last week and this week that, holiness is dependent upon unconditional love of our enemies. The central teaching of Christ’s ministry is commonly called the Golden Rule and is an extension of the Shema Prayer- Deuteronomy 6:4-9. HE calls for an unconditional love of enemies and persecutors and a selfless generosity to those who are in need. (Catechism 1789, 1970, 2510)” Where then is mercy if we show that love? Mercy is a path towards holiness. “Christ effectively defined mercy as the ultimate mark of holiness and commanded his faithful to reach out to others in that mercy according to the example of the Father, who is so merciful in forgiving us our own sins. (CCC 1457-1458, 2842)”
With mercy, there is humility and true charity. Ubi charits et amor; Deus ibi est.- Where charity and love prevail, there God is.” This Sunday, we are being told that our actions are to be about God and love of neighbor which must be outpoured. That is where Christ says in the gospel today, “the god man out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil man out of his evil treasure produces evil; for out of the abundance of his heart mouth speaks. (Luke 6:45) Instead of pointing out the faults of others and always looking at what the other is doing as to get them on something, it is better to help each other, guide each other and love and nurture each other in the mercy and love of God and of HIS Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. “Only when we are sincere about our own failings and consequently demanding with ourselves can we become effective in helping others overcome their defect.”
Therefore, let us overcome our will and do the will of the Heavenly Father and cherish all that HE wants for us which is to be holy as HE is holy and be with HIM in Heaven. We accomplish the task by showing task by showing to all the true charity, love and mercy of God the Father.
Ubi caritas et amor; Deus ibi est.- Where there is charity and love’ God is.
God Bless! Buona Domenica! Good Sunday!
