PERMANENT DEACON TALKING

Sunday 4   - Year B    

    In the first Century the most common political power system in operation was the idea of a monarchy. When the Hebrew nation wanted to ascribe power to God it was an obvious mechanism to copy the image of a king. Jesus began his teaching with a purpose to proclaim that the Kingdom of God was on it’s way. Jesus made it clear that his kingdom was for the poor and would establish justice. Mark wanted everyone to know that, from the very beginning ,Jesus brought this about by his words, actions and very presence. Jesus was ready and able to confront evil and win the spiritual battle for the human heart.

  Sunday 3   - Year B    

 At the Second Vatican Council the church defined itself as the mystery of the Kingdom of God present today. It was stated then that the Kingdom first shone out before men “in the words, in the works and in the presence of Christ.” The small group of men on the hill in Galilee can be seen, therefore, as the first community of Church because they were committed to Jesus who stood at the centre of their lives.

 Andrew and Peter in today’s gospel had been keen to meet the Messiah for years. They didn’t know what he looked like but if the opportunity arose they were not going to miss out. In fact Andrew had become a disciple of John the Baptist and would have learned a great deal from him about “the lamb of God”. When Jesus was pointed out as such, he knew it was time to follow his new “Rabbi” and rushed to tell his brother as soon as he could.
