FAITH BOOK consists of mini-reflections on the Sunday scripture readings designed for persons on the run. Based on the current "First Impressions," these focused meditations offer suggestions for applying the scriptures to daily life. Faith Book is also brief enough to be posted in the parish bulletins people take home with them from Sunday worship.
FAITH BOOK
14th IN ORDINARY TIME (B) - July 5,2009
Ezekiel 2: 2-5; Psalm 123; 2 Corinthians 12: 7-10; Mark 6: 1-6
Mini-reflections on the Sunday scripture readings designed for persons on the run. "Faith Book" is also brief enough to be posted in the Sunday parish bulletins people take home.
From today’s Gospel reading:
Jesus said to them,
"A prophet is not without honor except in his [her] native place and among his [her] own kin and in his [her] own house."
Reflection:
Faith is a risky business and may require us to take unpopular positions. There are times when we may alienate even family and friends because our faith requires we speak up or take a stand.
So we ask ourselves:
-
Have I ever not said or not done what was right because I was afraid how others would react?
-
When have I had to do what I thought was right and found even those closest to me did not support me?
