REFLECTING ON GOD’S WORD
Focus on God’s agenda, not your own. This message could be
the link between the reading from the book of Numbers and the
Gospel. When Joshua gets upset at the two men who are suddenly prophesying and wants Moses to stop them, Moses asks,
“Are you jealous for my sake? Would that all the people . . .
were prophets!” (Numbers 11:29). And Jesus responds to his
disciple John, also upset that someone outside their group was
casting out demons in Jesus’ name, that “whoever is not against
us is for us” (Mark 9:40).
Both Jesus and Moses recognized that God’s spirit blows where
it will. It sometimes ends up in the strangest places, working
through very unexpected people. At the same time, no one can
presume that the Spirit will always be working through a particular group or the proper channels. We must be careful of
trying to box in or corral the spirit of God.
Being on the inside is no guarantee. Thus, we get Jesus’ hard
words about cutting off a hand or a leg or plucking out an eye
rather than letting it cause us to sin and be cast into hell. Most
say this is hyperbole, Middle Eastern exaggeration. I think Jesus is calling his disciples to look honestly at their lives and
face whatever it is that leads them away from God. “Deal with
it,” he says. We must always watch what we hold, the path we
choose to walk, and the vision that guides us.
Those on the inside can lose sight of, lose touch with, go off the
path that takes us to the kingdom. And they can take others
with them. What matters is that God’s work be done. God will
see to it; don’t get in the way.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE PREVENTION
Domestic violence is extremely prevalent in our society
and specifically in San Antonio. It also affects families
in our Parish. We all need to become educated about
what constitutes domestic violence so that we do not
accept it as “normal” behavior that is to be put-up with
in the marriage, family and home. Two helpful websites are www.sanantonio.gov—SA Family Domestic
Violence Prevention and www.fvps for Family Violence
Prevention.
