FRIDAY 19TH WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME YEAR B. By Tobe Eze


FRIDAY 19TH WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME YEAR B.
1ST READING: EZEKIEL 16:1-15. 60. 63.
GOSPEL: MATTHEW 19:3-12
THEME: DIVORCE OF GOD.
It is no longer a new teaching that God and Church have no room for divorce in any valid wedding. So we are going to look at another divorce which connects us to the first reading.
After all that God did for the Israelites from their birth to their youthful age, they had the got to leave their God to follow other gods. After all a husband has done for and to her wife, the wife had the got to follow another man and at the end, divorce the husband. Also placing it the other way round on men. We divorce God in many places, things and occasions we do or go in our lives. When we private good things as St, Augustine said, evil will come in. When we leave the good things we ought to do and do bad things, in that way, we divorce God. God is calling us today and begging us not to divorce him again. What God has joined together through baptism, no sin should put asunder. We should remain on him. Thanks.
