Today, Our Lord teaches us that there is always room for more members of his family. The invitation to all people everywhere is always open. God wants to extend the definition of family beyond the narrow confines of blood or region. The importance of community is also powerful in the readings this weekend. We need to support and uplift each other, on our journey along the ways of the Lord.
+++++
(Always Room for one more!)
We are God's own beloved children…. We are called, loved and embraced….. Cherished…..
We are God's people (daughters and sons of God), not because we have earned it or deserve it…. Not because we are in ourselves worthy of it… But because God loves us. It is God, overflowing with generous love, who calls us to Himself.
Initially, Jesus' call is to go out to the recognised children of Israel… The ones God first took as his own .. after all, first things first. Later, however, (due to God's limitless love), this invitation would be expanded to include all peoples and nations…
God has so much love, and there is always room for yet one more…. There is so much noise and business in our world today…. So many conflicting voices…… Different worldly values – Many which directly contradict each other. The many, many people in the world…. Near and far… are, very much like harassed lambs …. …. The Lord says…. Go out to them, show them my love, and invite them into my pastures…. … It is heartbreaking. How do people make sense of things amongst so much clamour?
In the first reading… the place called "Rephidim" means – resting place…. Place of refreshments… A place of support…. Here Moses, only with God's grace, won the battle against the Amalekites, and his tired uplifted arms were supported by Aaron and Hur….(supported in the place named "support" - Here also, the people thirsted and lost trust in God, but God still refreshed them with streams of water from a rock.
God loves us and wants to nurture us… and wants to help us primarily through the ministry of his children…. through and for our brothers and sisters around us… The harvest is indeed plentiful, and there is so much work to be done…. But the workers are few…only God's grace can we achieve success against these overwhelming demands
We might ask: "Who are we to go out and do this work of living and proclaiming the message of Jesus?…. The answer is simply this: We are loved and called by God. // God has commissioned us to do this work.// Not by our merit! God calls us with love, and we respond with love.
And so we, each of us, go out in mission; and not very far afield either…. Our familiar, local territory is also in dire need of God's loving guidance and care… We go back… into our homes, our workplaces, our social situations… and our wider community….
As the gospel shows us….
- We achieve this mission primarily by "doing";… and some explanatory speaking….
- Actions… more than words… We do all sort of acts of kindness, compassion, healing, mercy and practical help….
- And with the powerful witness of selfless service – (not for one's own personal gain)…. After the example of the Good Shepherd.
