OUR LADY OF MOUNT CARMEL
Food For Faith Living from the desk of Fr. Mark
The mystery of God is beyond our comprehension.
The recognition and appreciation for what God does and
how God presents God to us, is the beginning of faith.
Only this conviction opens us up to seeking God’s
messages to us and sincerely striving to live in the
fashion God invites us to live. Every week, the readings
contain these essentials for faith-living.
Neither
heeding them nor remaining ignorant about their
meaning is faith. Often, it leads to people practicing
religion and assuming it is faith. Think again.
Every time God rescues the people (1st reading) they
respond and promise to be faithful only to weaken when
the next crisis arises, often the result of their failing to
remain true to God’s covenant. It’s the entire Old
Testament summed up in a sentence.
The greatest act of faith rests upon the greatest love
humanity received! It is the person of Jesus, God
joining us, God showing us He is ever present, loves us
and will never abandon us. If we don’t believe this, rely
on it and respond to it, then faith is just a word, unreal.
St. Paul (2nd reading) says it clearly: when we
embrace this truth,” we put away the old self and way of
life and, renewed in the spirit, we put on the new self in
Jesus.” This is what becoming a new creation” means.
We live our faith and share it with others.
St. John (Gospel) completes the full and true meaning
of God feeding us (1st reading). Their food needs
replenishing daily. The bread, which gives life to all, is
“Jesus, the true Bread of life!” Those who eat the Bread
of life will never hunger and whoever believes in Me
will never thirst.” Such nourishment is what living in
the spirit means. We seek to love each other and be
life-givers seeking the common good and unity of all!
Do I believe?
