Incarnate messages

As we think about the vocation of a prophet from the Old
Testament, we cannot help but realize the parallel to missionaries and
preachers in our world today. And especially for our parish, we have our
parish missionaries who will be arriving in just under a month for their year
of service to the Gospel. As we heard in the readings, especially from
Saint Paul, this life is not easy, but is rewarding: “My grace is sufficient
for you.”
The way we treat our family is
not the same way we treat our friends, nor strangers. We drop our guards,
drop formalities, etc. The resentment of Jesus neighbors in Nazareth
(“Where did this man get all of this?”) is something that we can all relate
to. With a good guess at what Jesus had to teach, especially about
conversion and His own mission as the messiah, we can easily imagine the lack
of receptivity from those who grew up with Jesus and had no idea that anything
special was happening.
God works in ordinary ways.
Gratia natura supponit.
God speaks to all of us, but we have to want to
listen.
