WORD Today 12/11/14 Is 41:13-20 Mt 11:11-15 From the days of John the Baptist until now, the Kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent are taking it by force. (Mt 11:12) For preparing the world for the arrival of Jesus, builder of the Kingdom, John the Baptist suffered violent death. For launching the Kingdom, Jesus suffered violent death. For choosing Jesus and His Kingdom, millions of martyrs suffered violent death, from the Roman Empire, to communist USSR, to todays terrorist ISIS. Anyone who lives and promotes the Kingdom values of virtue, righteousness and justice will suffer ridicule and persecution from those who belong to the world and feel threatened by the ethics of the Gospel. But God assures the faithful, I, the LORD your God, hold your right hand. I say to you: FEAR NOT, I will help you. (Is 41:13) Let us fight back by fiercely clinging to Gods hand in prayer and in communion. Good Day!
