Reposted by Karen BradyFr. Satish Joseph @frsatishjoseph.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Sept 21 - Feast of Apostle Matthew If "Your friends describe you" is true, then Jesus was doing a very bad job. He hung out with social outcasts and he even called one of them to follow him (Mt 9:9-13). But Jesus makes it a teaching moment: "I desire mercy, not sacrifice." May we learn the lesson. 054

Drawing examples from farming, scripture (2 Cor 9:6-10; Jn 12:24-26) teaches us that our lives are not meant for self glory and preservation. Rather, life is to be spent for the glory of God & service of humanity. Jesus taught us so. 093

Satish Joseph @frsatishjoseph.bsky.social · 03/08/2026Aug 3 Scripture The disciples cried out in fear the first time (Mt 14:26) and then Peter cried out in fear a second time (30). Often, fear can cripple our lives. The key to not let fear dominate us is to keep our eyes on the Lord and confess, "Truly, you are the son of God" (33). 173

When Jesus did good and questioned the status quo, they called him Beelzebul (Mt 10:25). Today "woke," which has a positive meaning, has been made a pejorative. Their action stem from fear. Hence, Jesus says, "Do not be afraid of them" (10:26). 083
