OCTOBER 18, 2020 29TH SUNDAY OF ORDINARY TIME
FROM OUR PASTOR
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
“How, then, can they call on the one they have not
believed in? And how can they believe in the one of
whom they have not heard? And how can they hear
without someone preaching to them? And how can
anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How
beautiful are the feet of those who bring good
news!” (Rom10:14-15). With these beautiful words of
Saint Paul, I begin this reflection on this 29th Sunday,
which is celebrated as World Mission Sunday.
On this great day, the Church, while rejoicing at the
progress made so far, yet reminds us that much still needs
to be done. All the members of the Church are called to
participate in this mission, for the Church is missionary by
her very nature: she was born ‘to go forth’. World Mission
Day is a privileged moment when the faithful of various
continents engage in prayer and concrete gestures of
solidarity in support of the young Churches in mission
lands.
In today’s first reading, God makes clear his choice of
Israel. In a most surprising way too, he makes known his
choice of a foreign king whom Isaiah referred to as “his
anointed” instrument. His choice of this “Pagan king” as
his anointed was for a purpose, to make known his name
among other nations and for the sake of Israel. Therefore,
like both King Cyrus and Israel, God has chosen us with
the good news: “that men may know from the rising to the
setting of the sun that, apart from me, all is nothing.” This
is a call to all of us God’s people to go and make him
known to the ends of the earth.
In the second reading of today, Paul, Silvanus, and
Timothy continue to remember and pray now for the
church of Thessalonica. They have preached the good
news there, but they know that only prayer can sustain
their labor. They know the importance of prayer in
mission and so we must equally learn to pray for
missionaries as the Holy Father Francis reminds us today.
In the today’s gospel having preached the good news in
word, power, Holy Spirit, conviction and confidence, the
Pharisees were looking for ways to rubbish Jesus’
message and discredit him. This gospel presents one very
important fact and reality that a missionary might face and
contented with. In as much as we bring and preach the
good news, detractors and difficulties abound. However,
the fact remains that the Holy Spirit the principal agent of
mission and Jesus whose good news we bear will not
allow us to be put to shame because they have jointly
promised us thus: "But make up your mind not to worry
beforehand how you will defend yourselves. For I will
give you words and wisdom that none of your adversaries
will be able to resist or contradict.” (Luke 21:14-15). It is
important to note that as a missionary we must be wiser
than the “sons of this world.” We must also be vast in
wisdom, knowledge and understanding of the spiritual,
physical, political, cultural, economic and social situations
around us. Had Christ been completely ignorant of the
politics of his time (between the Romans and Jews), and
of course the rule of government, am sure he would have
been taken in by the tricks of the Pharisees.
He was able to distinguish between democracy and
autocracy. It is also very important to note here that the
state, or government, and God are not opposed to each
other. As members of the state, we must fulfill our
obligation to it, by paying our taxes for the good of the
state, while at the same time not compromising our
allegiance to God the owner and creator of all things
including the state. Finally, I will like to close this
reflection by reminding us that the joy of being a
missionary does not actually come from how much
material gifts one receives, but from how much lives he is
able to touch, how much joy he able to bring to others and
how much love he is able to communicate. So, let us try to
proclaim Jesus’ Gospel through our words and deeds.
Have a Happy and Blessed Sunday!!
