MULTIPLICATION OF LOAVES: THE MIRACLE OF LOVE: CATHOLIC SUNDAY SCRIPTURE REFLECTIONS: 17TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME, CYCLE B, 2024

ByOnuh

There is a miracle of abundance and superabundance when there is love and sharing with others. This is the central focus of this Sunday’s readings, especially the gospel.  It is God that multiplies, but not out of nothing. It is what we bring to God in faith and trust that he multiplies into abundance for us all. The love action of sharing our little is the miracle of abundance for many who are lacking.

COMPASSION AND EMPATHY: HALLMARKS OF CHRISTIAN LEADERS: CATHOLIC SUNDAY SCRIPTURE REFLECTIONS: 16TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME, CYCLE B, 2024

ByOnuh

Compassion and empathy are the most important characteristics that differentiate Jesus from the religious authorities of his time. One notable thing is that the people must have noticed the remarkable difference between Christ and other religious authorities in his time. Possibly, they have seen how he treats them with kindness, respect, and dignity and not with shame, imposition, and guilt like the Jewish religious authorities.

THE MISSION AND PROPHETIC MISSIONARIES: CATHOLIC SUNDAY SCRIPTURE REFLECTIONS: 15TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME CYCLE B, 2024

ByOnuh

We are called to be prophetic missionaries who speak out the truth without fear or favour of anyone. Speaking the truth these days is unpopular, especially among church men and women who prefer to be prudent or diplomatic. This is because of the philosophy that doesn’t speak the truth so that you don’t hurt anyone. Our vacation as prophets and missionaries is to continue the mission of Christ on earth. That is preaching repentance, forgiveness of sins, liberation, and salvation.

SUFFICIENT GRACE: CATHOLIC SUNDAY SCRIPTURE REFLECTIONS: 14TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME, CYCLE B, 2024

ByOnuh

The sufficient grace of God is at work in our human and Christian lives amidst our human weaknesses and inadequacies. Hence, the Christian life is a life of grace or strength in weakness through God´s grace and mercy. This strength in weakness is the beauty and mystery of our lives in God. For Paul, it is clear without doubt or reservation that the Christian faith and life are all grace.
