GOSPEL THOUGHTS*
*Ordinary Season : 27th Week : Saturday*
*Gospel : Lk 11:27-28*
*First Reading : Gal 3:22-29*
*Blessed is the Womb/heart that carries Jesus*
*1) Jesus in the Womb of Mary*
When God announced the Good news through the Angel Gabriel, Mary accepted the plan of God
She accepted to become the Mother of God. Thus Mary conceived Jesus.
Thus Mary's Womb became the First Tabernacle of the Wold where Jesus took the Shelter
*2) Mary's Womb became blessed*
The Womb of Mary became blessed of the Presence of Jesus
Wherever Jesus is present, it becomes holy and Blessed
So Jesus is the person who makes everything holy and blessed
*3) Today Jesus still needs a place*
Today Jesus needs place in our life.
Which are the possible places Jesus can have in our life
Our heart can be a place for Jesus
Our mind can be a place for Jesus
Our thoughts can be a place for Jesus
Our life can be a place for Jesus
Our activities can be a place for Jesus
Our family can be the place for Jesus
*4) Some one from the crowd must say*
Blessed is your heart that carries Jesus
Blessed is your mind that thinks about Jesus
Blessed is your life that reflects Jesus
Blessed is your family where Jesus lives everyday
Blessed is your face which shows the face of Jesus
Blessed is your eyes which shows the compassion of Jesus
Blessed is your tongue that proclaims about Jesus
Blessed is your activities, which conveys the message of Jesus
*5) Speciality of Jesus in the Womb*
Jesus who is the womb always grows
Womb in the Jesus never remains static. He is always growing
Accordingly Jesus in our heart, mind, in life, and in various above mentioned places should grow
A Jesus who is not growing in our life is no Jesus at all. Such a Jesus does not exist
So the question is, whether Jesus in my life growing or not??
Has my life become blessed because of Jesus' presence??
*Think about it*
*God bless you and your family. Praying for you and your dear ones*
