20TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
Notes from Father Chumo
The gospel tells us that we must not be afraid of division caused by the Word of God., which comes from the reaction of the old-world order that is desperately trying to remain alive. Since the world is full of evil, people living at the time of Jesus thought it necessary to have a purifying fire to cleanse the world of evil. Some of the prophets had announced the coming of this day of fire Zep. 1:18. The fire that was announced by the prophets and brought by Jesus, purifies, and saves. It is the fire of His Word, His message of salvation, His Spirit, the Spirit that descended on the Apostles on the Day of Pentecost.
The message of Jesus is a fire that will cause problems; it will shake up the lives of many people. The perpetrators of injustice will be disturbed by the gospel. The Spirit comes with an ever-renewed understanding of the message of Christ, which brings new demands which leads to the rejection of ideas and pattern of behavior that does not conform to the gospel values.
Our mission is to carry on the mission of this fire of Christ to penetrate the hearts of all who welcome this Spirit, which brings new life and transformation.
Join us in our Mission! At Immaculate Conception Parish we endeavor to be a Catholic Community of Faith, Prayer, Love and Service, centered on Jesus Christ in the Eucharist.
Let us listen to the Spirit that God has placed in us at Baptism, and pay attention of the Word of God as we receive these blessings, and follow the example of Jesus, then this year will be fruitful. May the Mother of God, Prince of peace intercede for us as we walk into the unknown with faith. Blessings.
