What an amazing gospel passage this is! The divine heart of Jesus is always intent upon gathering in the lost, and the wounded; the suffering, and the weary. He tells the Twelve to go after them first and to proclaim as you go: The Kingdom of heaven is at hand for you! This is a Kingdom of mercy, and forgiveness and healing, and peace and joy! He also gave them the authority to cast out unclean spirits. There were so many of them then, and they are still around today. They gnaw and disturb and try to make hopeless those who have good reason to want their suffering relieved. Among those sent in our own midst now to give remedy we add Fr. Murray, Fr. Norm and Fr. Fred. They are here among us in our new parish to proclaim the Kingdom of heaven for us; to proclaim it as a Kingdom of mercy, and forgiveness and healing, and peace and joy! Rely on them! Go to them! Have faith in the powers they have been given – and the Lord will reward you: and all the good people of All Saints Parish. In the first reading today, Joseph wept when he heard his brothers talk of remorse for what they had done to him. Joseph pleaded with them not to harm him, but they paid no mind. We leave the story at that for today! But Joseph was a true and compassionate instrument of God's healing, mercy and forgiveness as well as we will see in the days ahead. The Kingdom of God is at hand; let us repent and believe in the Gospel – for it truly has the power to save us!
To be SILENT, to LISTEN, so to OBEY!
