Message from Fr. John Chrysostom Tibakunirwa, Parish Administrator
|
|
Sunday's Second Reading needs a little commentary: it ought to be prayed over very slowly, especially worthy of personal reflection are the words about our having been saved is by a tremendous gift of grace and not by our works. In a very special way we are created by grace to do those good works which flow from that same participation in God's holiness and life which is grace itself. Please pray with and perhaps assimilate this central passage of our freedom and faith.
|
The Evangelist takes time to narrate to us his perception he has of God thus: God loves this world and has always loved it into a further revelation of that love. He writes: He sent the Son to offer eternal life. This saving of the world is not merely the judicial non-condemnation of its inhabitants but saving the world from not being a revelation place. The inhabitants are saved from the dark of not knowing who they are; saved from not knowing the good works for which they were also saved.
|
|
The concluding remarks of the Gospel highlights light battling darkness. Jesus as the light both enlightens those who see Him and believe him, but calls to all to come out into the light and do those works which are lights by which the goodness of God might be seen as well.
