Ninth Sunday of the Pentecost Season, St. Charbel’s Feast
Gospel: Matthew 11: 1 – 6
Readings: 2 Thessalonians 1: 1 – 10 Jesus’ mission, which he started and completed between Galilee & Jerusalem, where he died and was raised.
This program affected the Jews and the pagan people, beginning with the baptism when the Holy Spirit declared that Jesus is the Son of the Lord, to the devil’s trials which he conquered, to his mission of preaching the kingdom of God.
By Jesus’ death on the Cross and becoming a sacrifice, he triumphed over the sin and stopped the sacrifices of the Old Testament. For this reason, we should benefit from the remaining time for repentance. The apostolic mission is one with the personality of the apostle and his service. The apostle is inspired by God.
He preaches according to God’s will and inspiration. He is miserable according to the flesh but a proof of God’s glory according to the eye of faith in Jesus the Crucified.
Jesus taught in Nazareth and in Jerusalem before his passion, death and resurrection. He preached to his followers and his family. He endured the Cross. He was obedient and merciful.

Sts. Joachim & Anne, July 26th
Ancient Christian tradition records the names of Sts. Joachim & Ann as the parents of Mary, the Mother of Jesus.
They were both members of the tribe of Judah of the house of David. According to tradition, Joachim and Ann came to Jerusalem from Galilee.
Over the centuries, they have been honoured, especially in the East, at great churches and shrines built in memory of them. Historically and biblically, not much in known of Joachim and Ann, except that they are the parents of Mary and grandparents of Jesus.
By their fruits we know how people lived, Jesus taught. The Church recognizes the grandparents of Jesus as models of family virtue and faith, which they transmitted to their offspring.
