MatinsGospel Reflection
We must be on our guard.
We could be taken to court;
we could be summoned to appear
before the authorities, to testify for Jesus.
The gospel must be proclaimed to everyone.
Jesus asked in the garden that the cup might pass from him;
Jesus drank the cup and walked the way of the cross.
Gospel Reading - Treasures new and old
47-48“Again, the Kingdom of Heaven can be illustrated by a fisherman — he casts a net into the water and gathers in fish of every kind, valuable and worthless. When the net is full, he drags it up onto the beach and sits down and sorts out the edible ones into crates and throws the others away. 49That is the way it will be at the end of the world — the angels will come and separate the wicked people from the godly, 50casting the wicked into the fire; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 51Do you understand?”
“Yes,” they said, “we do.”
52Then he added, “Those experts in Jewish law who are now my disciples have double treasures — from the Old Testament as well as from the New!”a
. . . . .Matthew 13:47-52- Literally, “brings back out of his treasure things both new and old.” The paraphrase is of course highly anachronistic!
The Lord's Prayer
Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins
as we forgive those who sin against us.
Save us from the time of trial
and deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours
now and for ever.
Amen.
