GETTING READY FOR SUNDAY: PREVIEW OF THE READINGS.

What is the essential message which the Church proclaims in and through her liturgical worship? The essense of the message is contained in today’s Epistle lesson where St. John writes, “ And this is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he has commanded us.” ( 1 John 3.23). The belief, the recognition concerning Jesus Christ as the revelation of the love of God is the starting point of the Christian life. That we should catch a glimpse of that revelation and be refreshed and elevated by it, is the first point of our liturgical celebrations, wherein we are invited to “eat the bread” of the kingdom of God. But as we hear in today’s Gospel lesson, many of those invited to the dinner banquet, couldn’t be bothered or were otherwise occupied, as a consequence of which the owner of the house instructed his servants to invite poor, the crippled, the blind and the lame to come and “taste of his dinner.”  In this season of Trinity we are invited to “taste and see how good the Lord is,” to be nourished in our faith, and to find ourselves transformed into lovers of God and our brother. This love doesn’t just happen, and is not simply a matter of feeling. It is a commandment, which is fulfilled in the laying down our lives for each other in the Church. In this way God lives in us and we in Him.

THE LESSON: 1 John 3:13-24
