We are in preparatory phase: The octave to Christmas. Fr. Eric preaches about today's Gospel from St. Matthew on the genealogy of Jesus (Matt 1, 1-17)
For Matthew, two names are of key significance if we are to understand Jesus’ provenance: Abraham and David.
The story of the promise begins with Abraham, following the dispersal of mankind after the building of the Tower of Babel. Abraham points ahead to what is yet to come. He is a wayfarer, not only from the land of his birth into the promised land, but also on the journey from the present into the future. His whole life points forward, it is a dynamic of walking along the path of what is to come. It is really open to universality. This why Jesus would say, make disciples of all nations. This family will extend much further than you know.
Music: Handel, Opera Rinaldo, Aria "Lascia ch'io pianga", arranged for guitar by Bert Alink
Thumbnail: Francesco Mancini, Flight in Egypt, Pinacoteca Vaticana, 1679.
