Reflection on the Gospel of the Saturday
|
Luke 11: 27-28 |
Throughout Jesus ministry life people were amazed and praised him for his marvellous deeds and work. Many were praised heavenly Father for the sake of Jesus. Many scholars and scribes denied to accept the act of Jesus. They claimed that through evil power ie Beelzebub Jesus is doing amazing things among them. Jesus very politely responded it and Jesus was very much clear about his mission and clarified in simple language to common people. After this response a woman from the crowd raised her voice and started praising not only Jesus but also praised his mother. Jesus very humbly responsed to the woman “one who hear the word of God and keep it” are blessed” let us reflection on Jesus statement.
Word has power to make us strong or weak in our life. similarly, word of God has power to transform our life. Here Jesus highly appreciate his mother act towards word of God spoken to her ie annunciation of Jesus birth through angel Gabriel. Mary without any hesitation believe it and accept it and kept it in her heart. Till the end of Jesus mission and re-commissioning of disciples to continue the mission Mary never and doubted the word of God. Mary blindly relied on it that’s why all the generation till today praising Mary. Even Elizabeth filled with holy spirit blessed Mary and her obedience towards word of God. Mary humbled herself and heavenly Father highly exalted her in the world. Even our mother church accepted Mary and praying to her through “Hail Mary” prayer and submitting our intention through Mary.
Let’s us live our life like Mary and bring glory to our Lord Jesus Christ.
“With Mary there are no failures, without Mary there is no victory”
