WELCOME TO KNOW YOUR FAITH ON WAUMINI RADIO 88.3 FM Sunday of week 18 of Ordinary Time SUNDAY READINGS; Isaiah 55:1-3; Romans 8:35.37-39; Matthew 14:13-21 Three lessons The Gospel and these two readings, then, are saying: a. That God really cares about his people and that there is enough and more for everybody; b. That the ups and downs of life, whether they are spiritual, emotional, physical, or material, whether they are personal tragedies or natural disasters, are basically unavoidable but are in no way a contradiction of God’s loving care for us. In fact, these things are in their own way necessary for us to grow in our awareness of where true peace and happiness lie; c. That a great deal of God’s care and compassion devolves on our own shoulders. A great deal of the human suffering in the world has been caused by human agency and can be relieved by human agency. Jesus did not feed the crowd directly. He left that to his disciples. He still does. It is too easy to blame God, too easy to blame governments, too easy see these things as other people’s problems. But they are also ours, they are mine. TODAYS DISCUSSION IS FAITH AND ENVIRONMENT. KARIBUNI
