These archetypal stories must find a home in our minds and bones — and in all their richness!
Homily for Friday in the Fifteenth Week in Ordinary Time, delivered in Our Lady Star of the Sea Church, Gladstone, Qld.
Joined by some of our primary school children.
"Moses and Aaron worked many wonders in the presence of Pharaoh. But the Lord made Pharaoh’s heart stubborn, and he did not let the sons of Israel leave his country. The Lord said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt: ‘This month is to be the first of all the others for you, the first month of your year... This day is to be a day of remembrance for you, and you must celebrate it as a feast in the Lord’s honour. For all generations you are to declare it a day of festival, for ever.”’ (cf. Ex 11).
"How can I repay the Lord for his goodness to me? The cup of salvation I will raise; I will call on the Lord’s name.
"Jesus took a walk one sabbath day through the cornfields. His disciples were hungry and began to pick ears of corn and eat them. The Pharisees noticed it and said to him, ‘Look, your disciples are doing something that is forbidden...' but he said to them, ‘Have you not read what David did when he and his followers were hungry...? Or again, have you not read in the Law that on the sabbath day the Temple priests break the sabbath without being blamed...?." (cf. Mt 12).
