Mass Readings: March 27
| First: | Acts 3:11-26 |
| Resp: | Psalm 8:2,5-9 |
| Gospel: | Luke 24:35-48 |
There is a temptation in the churches today to always want to find new expressions of the Christian faith. We are always looking to see how we can appeal to the people to draw them into the faith by adding new things and by changing the music, adding programs etc...
The Bible likes to tell us of what God has said and done in the past however, and bring that to our remembrance and based on that we should repent and be converted. The Bible says that the fathers and prophets of the faith have been for us that we might be blessed through them. It is our history, our heritage and tradition that the Bible appeals to as the means of our conversion and the call is not to be entertained, but to repent.
Father, help me by your Holy Spirit to celebrate what you have done for me throughout all of history and through the prophets and your people Israel and the Church. Help me to repent based on these your glorious works and not based on my own likes and dislikes.
Amen
