It takes love to teach; for teaching and instructing in faith, morals and the application of the Gospels in daily life, requires patience, discipline, knowledge, skill, a deep relationship with God and most of all His love and Graces which He readily showers, Anyone who has ever taught may agree that a student is good only as his/her teacher. Still the student must possess the desire to learn, to grow and to apply all that he/she has learnt in order to grow yet some more.
The Word of God is Love. It teaches, admonishes, if heals, it strengthens, it builds up, it nourishes, it embraces, it liberates, it is all gentle, yet powerful and more. How can we turn our backs or not make time for this greatest gift from God our loving Father? The Word made flesh sacrificed Himself that we may live. To feed and Nourish us of Himself. Sweet sacrament we thee adore, oh help us love thee more and more. Amen
GOSPEL
Luke 4:31–37
Jesus went down to Capernaum, a town of Galilee. He taught them on the sabbath, and they were astonished at his teaching because he spoke with authority. In the synagogue there was a man with the spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried out in a loud voice, “What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are–the Holy One of God!” Jesus rebuked him and said, “Be quiet! Come out of hi!” Then the demon threw the man down in front of them and came out of him without doing him any harm. They were all amazed and said to one another, “What is there about his word? For with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they come out.” And news of him spread everywhere in the surrounding region.
