Message from Fr. John Chrysostom Tibakunirwa, Pastor
|
|
The First reading from Isaiah presents us how centered the Messiah will be. he will continue trusting the Lord even when he receives beatings and is disgraced. The Messiah is pictured as having heard and this allows Him to stay focused and not turn back.
|
We have in today's Gospel the high point of the big secret. Up to this point in Mark 's account, the disciples have marveled at Jesus's ability to calm storms, multiply bread, heal the sick and speak with authority, but they haven't been asked directly who they know Jesus to be. Once they would come right out and declare themselves, well that would center their focus and consequently, their lives.
|
Staying centered is our direction, God desires for us to be trusted in all areas of our lives. Hopefully we put to good use the gifts he gives us to do His will.
