Ezekiel 9:1-7; 10:18-22; Matt 18:15-20

Homily

When we see someone acting in a way that doesn't seem right to us, and especially when we think that someone has personally offended us or been unfair to us, we are easily led to set ourselves up as God's vigilantes -- rather like the exterminating angels in the vision of Ezekiel, which we had as our first reading. We are still living in the Old Testament, just like the prophet Elijah who slaughtered the 450 prophets of Baal before his encounter with God on Mount Horeb, or Paul leading the Christians to their death before his journey to Damascus. The message of Jesus is quite different.

Jesus' disciples were always worried about which of them would be the greatest in the Kingdom of heaven! Today's Gospel gives us two answers from Jesus to this concern of his disciples. In the first, he invites them to become like little children again.

12 August 2024 - Monday of the 19th week ‘B

Ezekiel 1:2-5. 24-28; Matt 17, 22-27

Homily

Today we begin our lectionary reading from the Book of the prophet Ezekiel. Ezekiel seems to be making an effort to show that the Word of God was addressed to him at a very special time in the history of Israel, and in a very specific place. It was, he says, in the 5th month of the 5th year of the reign of Jehoiachim, in the land of the Chaldeans, near the river Kebar.

1Roi 19,4-8; Eph 4,30-5,2; Jean 6, 41-51 

H O M É L I E 

          Élie est une figure fascinante de la Bible. Un des grands prophètes, il était un homme d'action encore plus que de paroles. Je ne crois pas que l'Écriture nous rapporte un seul de ses discours. C'était un mystique, un solitaire venu du grand désert oriental. L'Esprit de Dieu le déplaçait constamment d'un endroit à l'autre : la Phénicie, le Mont Horeb, le torrent de Kerit, le palais du roi Achab, le Jourdain... Sa mission était liée à tous les mouvements de l'histoire de son peuple. Et partout c`était par ses actions qu'il parlait.

Ézéchiel 1, 2-5. 24-28; Matt 17, 22-27

H O M É L I E

                  Dans le lectionnaire férial, nous commençons aujourd'hui la lecture du Livre du prophète Ézéchiel. Celui-ci semble faire un effort pour bien montrer que la Parole de Dieu lui a été adressée à un moment très particulier de l'histoire d'Israël, et dans un endroit précis. C'était, dit-il, le 5ème mois de la 5ème année du règne de Jehoiachim, au pays des Chaldéens, près du fleuve Kebar.

11 August 2024, 19th Sunday "B

1Kings 19:4-8; Ephesians 4:30-5:2; John 6:41-51

Homily

Elijah is a fascinating figure in the Bible. One of the great prophets, he was a man of action rather than words. I don't think that Scripture records a single one of his speeches. He was a mystic, a loner from the great desert of the East. The Spirit of God moved him constantly from one place to another: Phoenicia, Mount Horeb, the torrent of Kerit, the palace of King Ahab, the Jordan... His mission was linked to every movement in the history of his people. And everywhere he spoke through his actions.
