From the Pastor’s Desk…
Today in our first reading we hear from prophet Amos who lived over
700 hundred years before Jesus came into the world. While born in the
Southern Kingdom of Judah, he began his ministry in the Northern
Kingdom of Israel. He warned the people that their sinful lives
would lead to destruction. Amaziah, a priest, of the royal shrine of
Bethel is throwing Amos out of the Northern Kingdom, telling him to
go home and “get a job”. Amos replies that being a prophet is not a job
but a divine vocation: he receives his order to be a prophet not from
the King but from God. This is why he has left his work as a shepherd
and a farmer. In spite of the opposition Amos continues his prophetic
work in their midst. He is faithful to God rather than to common public
opinion.
In today’s Gospel, we hear the Twelve Apostles being sent by Jesus for
their first public ministry. Their mission involves: preaching repentance,
confronting the power of evil and healing the sick. Jesus instructs them
to travel light and know that one’s identity and security is not to be
found in material things or in strategies of self-defense. The messenger
of the Gospel are to demonstrate a simple lifestyle and their total reliance on God.
Like Amos and the Twelve Apostles we are called to a special mission.
We have a purpose and a goal. The Lord has given us a mission to
evangelize the people around us. I know sometimes we fear rejection or unworthiness in fulfilling that mission, but the Lord tells us to
stay focused and trust in God.
I am very happy that many of you are involved in the various activities
of the Parish here at St. Nick’s. Jesus needs more people who will become his hands, feet and minds in this present age.
Mission Co-op Appeal
Next weekend at all Masses Fr. James Doran will be speaking on behalf of the Oblates of the Virgin Mary (Phillippines) as part of the
annual Mission Appeal for the Propagation of the Faith. We ask you to
please be as generous as possible in the second collection to help those
who are less fortunate and are in need. Thanks for your kindness and
generosity.
Wishing you a peaceful summer!
