Homily 1-7-26

Luke presents the knowledge of a law to the masses. Many understand the interpretation of legal precedences, and decrees. Though few may be familiar with the meaning behind the spiritual power of mercy. The redemptive nature preached through Gospels. Merely, these words ablaze in the hearts of Christ’s’ followers. They lead to a redemption in the heart. An inner conversion that joins to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

These teachings have paved the way for prophets to share the message of the Gospel. Versions, such as the interpretation from Luke outline the significance of Baptism. This interpretation remarks on the realism of circumstances, which the Lord’s people have encountered. An awareness of status in wealth and riches bring our attention to two separate natures. One that idolizes riches and status, and another that serves a particular mission.

Both viewpoints are a precursor to a birth. A woman delivered a son to the world before the birth of Christ, our Lord. The name of the woman was Elizabeth. Even then, Elizabeth shifted her focus to the Mother of God. Exclaiming the blessedness of truth, Elizabeth proclaimed the arrival of the Messiah. Years later, that same child in Elizabeth’s womb, John the Baptist, would baptize the Lord of creation.
