OUR LADY OF MOUNT CARMEL DENVER, COLORADO Food For Faith Living
from the desk of Fr. Mark
Salvation is the end result of true repentance, an act which
goes beyond admitting one’s sins and seeking forgiveness. This is
incomplete and an assurance of repeating itself time and again. No,
repentance is more than sorrow for sin and the harm and injury
caused. It is a firm resolve to change what needs changing in terms
of attitude, intent, motivation and relational unity. The Bible is
full of stories wherein sin is acknowledged and people plead for
God’s mercy and rescue and their renewal of faithfulness in the
future. When it is that simple, repetition follow. They have not
moved to the joy and freedom which breaks our bonds with sin. This
joy is the power of love expressed in many ways. Exodus (1st
reading) tells the story of God rescuing the people enslaved in
Egypt for centuries. They cry for salvation. God chooses Moses, who
is hesitant, unsure; he asks God how the people will know God sent
him. God says, “when the people ask, what is His name, tell them, I
am Who am sent me. This is My name forever!” St. Paul (2nd reading)
tells of this great act by God and how it united the people and
gave them hope until the weaken, complain and do evil things. The
reminder is to all of us to remain focused and sincere because it
is easy “to think one is secure because of righteousness” and end
up face down in the muck and mire of things! It is thinking
righteousness is what God seeks that leads to such falling down.
People want the right answer to their questions about sinners and
sinfulness and how they are measured by God. Jesus, as usual, pulls
the rug out from under their feet. He bluntly tells all of us,
sinners, that we are: “don’t compare or measure sins or sinners.
“If you do not repent, you will perish!” God desires our salvation
and is every ready and gener-ous to save us from our sinfulness.
The story of the fidg tree (Gospel) tthat produces nothing shows
this. God gives the tree time and help to produce fruit. If it does
not use the help and produce the fruit, “then, you can cut the tree
down.” God desires to lose no one or nothing. It happens by our
free choice.
