WORD 2day: Thursday, 5th week in Ordinary time
February 13, 2025: Genesis 2: 18-25; Mark 7: 24-30
Man-woman, we-they, rich-poor, high-low... these categories of daily consideration of people, things and events is something to be consciously transcended. Jesus himself receives a bit of a lesson from that Syro-phoenician woman in the Gospel today and Jesus was not ashamed to acknowledge it: woman your faith is great!
At times people are apprehensive about interreligious dialogue or multi religious initiatives of unity and harmony. They prefer to look at the other as different, separate or even contrary. If we truly mean what we say and what we pray: I believe in One God - then I need to become more and more proactive and look at the reality as One Humanity!
Divisions and discrimination are types of possesions, demonic and devilish; they have affected human persons right from the beginning and try to control them all along. It makes us sick and broken. The Lord alone can chase this spirit away and grant us the wholeness that we are in need - because the Lord is One, and if we are in the Lord we shall be One too, never divided or discriminating!
