Friday 30th Week of Ordinary Time

 

Sabbath Rest


The Pharisees were scandalized that Jesus healed on the Sabbath.

They failed to understand that by healing the man with dropsy on the Sabbath
that Jesus was truly fulfilling the Sabbath,
for the Sabbath was meant to be a day when we rest in the Love and Mercy of God.

When we see a person who is broken, lost or hurting,
Do we ever say that it has been a long day and We are tired and need some rest.
Do we ever make excuses like the Pharisees and turn a blind eye?

Pain, sorrow, suffering and heartbreak do not know or care what day it is.
When People take a rest from Love and Mercy,
then pain, sorrow, heartbreak and suffering continue.

If we need a rest, take a break from our own drive for self satisfaction and self fulfillment but never from Love and Mercy.



God Bless
