3rd Sunday in Ordinary Time
Sunday of the Word of God
St Agnes
Gospel – Mark 1:14-20
Three verbs Jesus is using in His proclamation. “The Kingdom of God Is close at hand”, “Repent”, and “believe the Good News”. These verbs, we must understand in the context of the Sunday of the Word of God in which the importance of the Word of God in our life has to be understand. It’s important the Word of God in our life to understand that the Kingdom of God is close at hand. It’s the Word of God that helps us with that. It’s important the Word of God so that we can repent. Only the Word of God can really invite us for repentance. Then at last, it’s important the help of the Word of God to believe in the Good News. The closer we are with the Word of God, the easier we understand that the kingdom of God is at hand. The dearer the Word of God is for us, easier we will repent. The deeper the Word of God is in us, it’s easier for us to believe in the Good News. Let’s reflect: We must be close to the Word of God, to recognize the closeness of the Kingdom of God, to repent and to believe in the Good News.
