The Christian story is one that unexpectedly flips the script. May it pattern our own lives.
Homily for Thursday in the Fourteenth Week in Ordinary Time (Saint Henry), delivered in the Chanel College Chapel, Gladstone, Qld.
"Judah went up to Joseph and said, ‘May it please my lord, let your servant have a word privately with my lord. Do not be angry with your servant, for you are like Pharaoh himself... Joseph said to his brothers, ‘I am Joseph. Is my father really still alive?’ His brothers could not answer him, they were so dismayed at the sight of him. Then Joseph said to his brothers, ‘Come closer to me.’ When they had come closer to him he said, ‘I am your brother Joseph whom you sold into Egypt. But now, do not grieve, do not reproach yourselves for having sold me here, since God sent me before you to preserve your lives.’" (cf. Gen 44-45).
"The Lord called down a famine on the land; he broke the staff that supported them. He had sent a man before them, Joseph, sold as a slave." (cf. Ps 105).
"Jesus instructed the Twelve as follows: ‘As you go, proclaim that the kingdom of heaven is close at hand. Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out devils. You received without charge, give without charge... And if anyone does not welcome you or listen to what you have to say, as you walk out of the house or town shake the dust from your feet. I tell you solemnly, on the day of Judgement it will not go as hard with the land of Sodom and Gomorrah as with that town.’" (cf. Mt 10).
