FRIDAY 20TH WEEK IN
ORDINARY TIME YEAR B.
1ST READING: EZEKIEL
37:1-14
GOSPEL: MATTHEW 22:34-40
THEME: HOPE IN
GOD, ALL HOPES ARE NOT LOST.
If the Lord had
made the dry bones in the valley to regain life, we still have hope. If Jesus
could silence both the Pharisees and Sadducees, we still have hope.
The only
problem we have or we are having sometimes is that we always like God to do our
wills in our own time not God’s will in his own time. Jesus has never forsaken
anyone who trusted in him. If we really trust in him this day, he will raise
our dry bones and silence our enemies. In that our worst situations, let us
remember that with God everything is possible and we must bear in mind that the
will of God is the first.
A woman had a
sick child. The woman was always praying for the will of God to be done in her
child’s life. One day the sickness was rising and getting worst. She continued
praying for the will of God to take place. When she noticed that the child was
dying she changed the prayer immediately. God if this is your will, let it not
be done. The child latter died and the woman took it that God is disappointing.
Latter she conceived again and gave birth to twins and that time she noticed
that the will of God was right in the life of that dead child and God has
visited her in the time of the Lord not her own time.
It is this our
always seeking for our own wills that cause our losing of faith and hope in
God. God is assuring us today that no matter our situations, he can still show
us that he is the Lord our God who can raise and give life to dry bones and
silence our enemies. Thanks.
