GOSPEL MEDITATION - ENCOURAGE DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF SCRIPTURE Presentatjon of the Lord “ Now, Master, you may let your servant go in peace, according to your word, for my eyes have seen your salvatjon, which you prepared in the sight of all the peoples: a light for revelatjon to the Gentjles, and glory for your people Israel. ” Very ofuen, having more light is not something we desire as it forces us to confront something we really do not want to see. There can be comfort found February Session: in darkness. It has an eerie sense of security to it. We do Go Tell it on the Mountain not have to challenge ourselves or be challenged and can simply exist in some fabricated state of self - fabricated Sunday 2/2 10:30 am, St. Philip blissfulness. Jesus came to bring light, and it is a light that is resisted by many and hated by some. It is a light that Tuesday 2/4 6:00 pm, St. Philip causes us to see things as they really are and not as we Sunday 2/9 9:45 am, Sacred Heart would want or need them to be. It is no wonder then that Simeon boldly and honestly proclaims to Mary, “ Behold, this child is destjned for the fall and rise of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be contradicted and you yourself a sword will pierce so that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed. ” We have to take the Gospel message as it is and not just use those parts that are useful to us or more palatable. Taking Jesus at face value can and will lead to turmoil and dissentjon. Hearts will be pierced. Whether we like it, Jesus ’ proclamatjon of what the world God created really ought to look like has real and absolute social implicatjons. It has a lot to say about how we treat our brothers and sisters: spiritually, personally, economically, and globally. It has everything to do with the poor, the immigrant, the scared, the unborn, the vulnerable, the sick, and the broken. The light opens us to a challenging, table - turning experience that may not be something we want to see but shows us where we need to be. “ As I have done, so you also must do" One - Day Retreat in Biddeford on March 18 A one - day retreat, “ As I have done, so you also must do, ” will be held at the Marie Joseph Spiritual Center in Biddeford on Wednesday, March 18.
