Reflections of Caritas

CALLED TO BE LIGHT TO THOSE IN DARKNESS

Posted by Rev. Father Frank Kyazze on Jan 22, 2020 2:15:00 PM

THE THIRD SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

GOSPEL: MATTHEW 4:12-23 

Dear friends,

As Jesus began his public ministry his first act was to gather some disciples who would share his work and his mission. They are not the Pharisees or Scribes, not scholars or influential members of the community, but fishermen who may have been quite illiterate. It is significant that the call takes place right in their working place and the initiative for the call comes from Jesus. Jesus had obviously been watching them at work. Jesus begins by calling the two set of fishermen brothers — Simon (later renamed Peter) & Andrew and James & James. Jesus tells them they will be fishers of men. Their ordinary work, drawing sustenance from the darkness of the sea, becomes a sign of a deeper reality, drawing men and women from the darkness of sin and death.

The Lamb of God

SECOND SUNDAY OF ORDINARY TIME 

GOSPEL: JOHN 1:29-34

Dear Friends,

The Christmas season is over.  Now we move on with the very beginning of Jesus’ public life, usually referred to as his ministry.  We come upon John the Baptist seeing Jesus and pointing to him.  “This is the Lamb of God,” he says.

John the Baptist found his reason for existence.  He was to point out the Lamb of God to the world.  His mission is the mission of every Christian.  We are to point out the Lamb of God to the world. We are called to live our lives fully witnessing to Him.  And this we do by finding our space in the universe.

THE BAPTISM OF THE LORD

GOSPEL READING: MATTHEW 3:13-17

RENEW YOUR BAPTISMAL PROMISES

Dear friends,

As we celebrate the feast of “The Baptism of the Lord” by John the Baptist in the Jordan River, it marks the end of the liturgical season of Christmas. We recall Our Lord's second manifestation (or epiphany) which occurred on the occasion of His baptism in the Jordan. Jesus descended into the River to sanctify its waters and to give us the power to beget sons of God.

THE EPIPHANY OF THE LORD.

Posted by Kyazze Frank Lwanga on Jan 3, 2020 9:49:08 AM

Gospel: Mt. 2:1-12

May Your Light Shine

As we continue enjoying the season of Christmas and ushering in the new year, the gospel reading invites us to ponder another interesting story surrounding the birth of Jesus - the journey of the Magi - the wise men who followed the star that led them to the Child Jesus in the manger. This event commemorates God’s “showing up in our midst” in the person of Jesus Christ. God is revealed in person for all of us. In the birth of Christ, God comes to us not in terms of force and power and might, but in terms of love and peace.
