28 FEBRUARY – 05 MARCH 2022: HOLY MASS REFLECTIONS 28 FEBRUARY 2022: 1 PETER 1. 3-9; MARK 10. 17-27 Focus: Just as gold is tested by fire for proving its genuineness, so also faith is tested by trials to testify to its genuineness. And exceedingly unsurpassable is the reward for such endurance 1. Inheritance and possessions attract all. All desire them. But the difference between the people of God and people of the world is the kind of them. The former desire and strive for spiritual inheritance and possessions. But the latter crave and run after the worldly and the material inheritance and possessions. The spiritual are heavenly and are imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, as St Peter notes in the first reading. The material inheritance is earthly and is perishable. 2. The young man in the gospel approaches Jesus with the question, “What must I do to inherit eternal life?” First of all, we can appreciate him for his desire for eternal life. We can also appreciate him for his sincere efforts to obtain it. He follows the ten commandments. Here we can detect his typical Jewish mentality that believes to gain eternal life by following laws. 3. However, Jesus urges him to go beyond. He demands radical dispossession and sharing with the poor. It calls for a wise discernment between the earthly possessions and the heavenly and a clear choice for the spiritual treasure. Give up the riches, give to the poor, and follow the Lord. It is not just giving up something but the whole self and life. In other words, detach completely from all the possessions and family as well, and attach totally to the Lord. 4. Jesus is quite aware of the boundedness of material things. That is why he states quite candidly: It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God. The reason is quite simple: the material possessions are easy doors for self-indulgence, arrogance, indifference, greed, and injustice Direction: Following the laws and commandments of God is not enough. We need to follow the Lord of laws and commandments. Our life is a journey of love for God and not mere adherence to laws
(REFLECTION 2 FROM 2021, 24 MAY) Focus: The man of today thinks that everything is possible for him. A sense of self-confidence is good. But a sense of humility to recognize his self-insufficiency is better In the gospel of today, we have a rich young man who can represent many of us. First of all, we can appreciate his desire for eternal life, as he asks Jesus, “What must I do to inherit eternal life?” He asks this in humility as he kneels before Jesus. He also readily acknowledges Jesus as the right teacher who can teach and direct rightly as he addresses Jesus, “Good teacher!” We must further appreciate him for his fidelity to observe the commandments from his youth. Immediately, in the light of him, it is good to do a self-check. How many have this desire for eternal life? Many desire to acquire and gain many things pertaining to the world, but very little is the desire for what is beyond and lasting. Do we have the humility to seek the answer for eternity? Do we have the trust and faith in Jesus as the one who can give the right answer and direct us in the right way? And how many sincerely can affirm that I am following the commandments from my youth. Certainly, this rich young man is not a bad man. He is religious-minded. That is why Jesus looks upon him with love. However, the young man is still insufficient. He lacks something essential. He lacks that profound detachment, that radical self-giving, and personal intimacy with the Lord and following him. He needs to get rid of a worldly mentality of acquiring, inheriting, and possessing. This is indicated in his question, “What must I do to inherit eternal life?” Eternal life is not something that can be gained by one’s own effort or merit. It is not an automatic result and reward of certain observances, even though good. Eternal life and salvation is God’s grace, it is His free gift. Attachment to worldly things and possessions can be the biggest hindrance to following the Lord personally and intimately. They can easily make one self-centered and greedy. They may make one fail in sensitivity and generosity to the poor and needy. Some may argue that Jesus is not realistic and practical. He does not know how to tackle the young man. He upsets the rich young man totally. He would have advised him to be more generous and contribute huge donations and alms to the poor and the temple, etc. But, the real issue here is a radical commitment to the Lord. It is a definitive turning to God, without conditions and compromises. It is a total self-giving to God and to others. All that matters is only surrender and loyalty to the Lord. Direction: It is good that we frequently question ourselves: What do I lack? But it is not in regard to the world, in terms of money, things, capacities or power, position, etc. The vital concern is what do I lack in my journey of salvation?
01 MARCH 2022: 1 PETER 10-16; MARK 10. 28-31 Focus: Being goal-oriented is a great positive force amidst all the odds and struggles in reaching that goal. The urge for reaching the target can surge one ahead with renewed determination 1. In today’s gospel, we find a reference in contrast to the rich young man of yesterday. Jesus lovingly invited him, Leave everything and come and follow me. But the man goes away disappointed. On the contrary, Peter and co. had left everything and they follow the Lord. Peter wants to show this contrast and so says, “See, we have left everything and followed you”. 2. This statement of Peter can imply different things. One, the disciples are a clear contrast to the rich young man. Second, it affirms that they have left everything and followed him as called by him. The third, it seeks to be assured of the fruit and the reward for their sacrifice. It seeks answers to the questions such as, what will be the effect? What will they gain in return? Is it worthwhile? 3. In fact, Jesus had already given the answer to the rich man, saying, “You will have treasure in heaven”. And from the context, it is very clear that following the Lord would gain entry into the kingdom of God and inherit eternal life. Why then, does Peter still seek an answer? It can be for reassurance and confirmation. 4. Knowing the result and the reward as teaching is one thing but receiving a personal assurance is another thing. We need not see anything wrong in Peter’s affirmation. There is nothing wrong with seeking assurances and confirmations at times. They can deepen one’s hope. They can strengthen one’s faith. They can ignite one’s courage and commitment. They can work as triggers and impetus for continued fidelity. They can work as “pain killers” in testing times. 5. Further, Peter’s affirmation also does great good for us. It makes Jesus declare clearly what happens if we follow him. We are assured that our reward is abundant and is double. Already we will receive a hundredfold here and now in the extended new “Kingdom family". This will be in the form of riches and relationships as stewards and brothers and sisters. Further, we will receive eternal life thereafter. Direction: True it is that the following of the Lord and living a truly Christian life is not easy. It involves a lot of trials and suffering. But it is not a futile enterprise. It is highly rewarding!
(REFLECTION 2 FROM 2021, 25 MAY) Focus: The practice of religion in devotions, offerings, and sacrifices is good. But all this must be done with a real spirit of self-offering, righteousness, and gladness Today what we witness is predominantly a shallow and superficial religiosity. Such religiosity is very inadequate because it is limited and reduced to mere offerings and sacrifices, activities, and practices. Unfortunately, this is the type of religiosity and spirituality that many believe and practice today. The consequence of such a depthless religion is obstinacy, intolerance, antagonism, and violence. In this context, we must bear in mind that being kind and righteous surpasses all the formal offerings and rituals. It is not the religious act alone that pleases God but the heart that does that action. It is the spirit and life of humility, righteousness, self-offering to God, and self-giving to others in joy that wins God’s favour. Such a life is certainly not easy. It is demanding and challenging. Especially in the sight of the world, and in human calculations, it is a big loss. What is the use of it? What is the result and fruit for it? This is the concern that is implied in the question of Peter of Jesus in today’s gospel: “Behold, we have left everything and followed you”. This question follows immediately yesterday’s episode of the rich young man, who fails to follow Jesus’ invitation to give up everything and follow him. In contrast to him, Peter and the other disciples readily leave everything and follow Jesus. In this context, Peter’s question is quite valid and reasonable. It is not following the Lord with ulterior motives or some interests. It is not doing something for God with some expectations. It is not giving up some things in order to gain many things. In all simplicity, Peter’s question reveals a concern for assurance that it is worth following the Lord. It is far more rewarding. It is not a vain enterprise or a futile struggle. The value of following the Lord is exceedingly greater than all that is given up. The reward is an abundance of spiritual riches and relationships. And the greatest reward is eternal life. Direction: Following the Lord will become light and enjoyable if one does it with a positive mind. This means one must constantly see that what he receives is far more worth and valuable, compared to what he loses. God’s abundant blessings and eternal life are the greatest rewards! 02 MARCH 2022: ASH WEDNESDAY, JOEL 2. 12-18; 2 COR 5.20 – 6.2; MAT 6. 1-6, 16-18 Focus: Reflect, Repent, convert and live rightly! This is the constant invitation for us. Blessed are they who hearken to this call for a worthwhile life and live accordingly! 1. Today we celebrate Ash Wednesday, a very unique day whereby we step into a new liturgical season. It is the holy season of Lent. Lent is very special in the life of the church and of many Christians. Not that the other seasons are not important. But lent makes a difference because of its very nature and the process and the purpose. 2. Lent addresses directly our human fragility. It lays bare before us our vulnerability that is prone to fall. It reminds us of our basic transience. Ashes with which we are smeared today indicate this sense of earthly nothingness, perishability, and impermanence. This sense is quite explicit in the pronouncement, “From dust, you have come and unto dust, you shall return”. 3. Thereby the holy lent urges us to focus our attention on our sinfulness that fails us in faith and charity. In lent, there is a focused concern with sin and evil. But the purpose is not to feel guilty, melancholic, and discouraged. The purpose is essentially positive. It is to repent and return to the Lord. 4. That is why in the first reading, God summons us through prophet Joel, “Rend your hearts and not your garments; return to me with all your heart”. In the second reading, in his first letter to the Corinthians, St Paul exhorts, “Be reconciled to God… so that we might become the righteousness of God”. 5. How to tread this journey of repentance and conversion? In the gospel, Jesus takes our attention to the three fundamental means of our whole Christian living and growth. These are in fact the three Jewish pilastric practices. They are namely prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. Jesus cautions us against hypocrisy in practicing them. It is not to make a show or display one’s religiosity. 6. All these should be done in a spirit of humility, and right intention. The purpose is to grow righteous in the sight of God and toward others. Accordingly, our prayers must help us to draw closer to God. Our fasting must help us to be more self-disciplined. Our almsgiving must deepen our sensitivity and fraternal responsibility and charity. Direction: Behold, now is the favourable time; behold, now is the day of salvation. God will certainly listen to us and help us. For He is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love; He will relent over disaster. He will reward us
(REFLECTION 2) 1. Today is a very special day. We enter the season of Lent, a season of grace, a call for repentance and conversion. The reason is that our life, which is often failed, disordered, and disfigured because of sin and evil, can be remitted, rearranged, transformed, and elevated. Thus we can live a more beautiful, more tranquil, more joyful, and more pleasant life. 2. Therefore this season is also a season of joy, and not of sadness, as many think or imagine. Repentance and penitence are not signs of sadness, but the expressions of our awareness of sin, of our desire to make reparation and recuperation, of our firmness to detach ourselves from everything that separates us from God, of our concrete effort to grow in faith and charity, and in sum, to enhance in a life of devotion and virtue. Therefore, when there is work and the increase of grace, there is certainly an increase in holy joy. 3. Today, the ashes we place on us indicate and teach us how we must spend these days of Lent. 1) First of all, the ashes indicate our origin and our end: therefore the words are pronounced: you have come from dust, and you will go back into dust. God created us, He gave us this life, He breathed His own life inside us, He shaped us in his own image. So we must always have a deep and lively sense of gratitude, of dependence, of an inseparable bond, and then always try to grow in the spirit of trust and likeness. We must never forget our origins. But unfortunately, it happens in our days, that man neglects God and the spiritual side, because of development, material comfort, of human capacities. The world thinks it is self-sufficient, and does not need God, and therefore tries to organize its life, throwing God out of the space of life. Truly a situation that reminds us and relives the time of the "tower of Babel". 2) We must always remember our end. Our goal is to re-go to God where we came from. Reaching our origin is the last point of this earthly journey. Therefore we must always recognize the transience of life on earth. Life on earth is only a limited duration. Everybody someday and in some way has to go away. The earthly life is like a journey, a pilgrimage, with a stabilized destination, with a destiny beyond. So we cannot attach ourselves to this world, we cannot behave like being permanent on earth. As St. Paul says to the Corinthians in his second letter in 5. 1, 9-10: when this dwelling of the body, the tent of earthly life, is destroyed, we all have an eternal home, prepared and made ready by God for each of us. On that day everyone must stand before the Lord for his judgment, and each one will be judged according to his good works and evils, according to the quality of his way of life. How many are foolish, living without any sense of responsibility and accountability! How miserable their fate will be! Those who refuse imperishable in preference to the perishable will certainly be rejected for the same imperishable. We reap what we sow! 3) The ashes also denote our weakness, our fragility, our human unworthiness. Without God, without His help, we are nothing like dust and ashes. Without the breath of His Spirit, we will be without life, without energy. This awareness must safeguard us against arrogance and unbridled autonomy, and grow in us the spirit of humility. 4) The ashes still indicate the state of annihilation. Nothing remains at the end. This fact must arise in us a profound spirit of detachment, of sacrifice. Be careful of too much attachment to things, to worldly profits, to great avarice. What is worth acquiring the whole world, but losing our soul? How much stupidity to cling to superficial things but to let go of the essential things! How much sadness to accumulate useless things but do not obtain anything worthwhile! 4. The three pillars, that is, prayer, fasting, and charity, help us in this Lenten journey. Then let us begin our steps forward with confidence and firmness.
(REFLECTION 3 FROM 2021, 17 FEBRUARY) Focus: Lent is a God-gifted time to be bent on God, to repent for the evil, and to be intent on good.
1. We step into the holy season of Lent. Let us entrust our whole journey of Lent to the loving guidance of the Lord, that this time may be truly a duration of renewal. 2. This is Ash Wednesday! What does this day of ashes signify? What do the ashes denote? In the practical sense, ashes indicate total annihilation and nothingness. Hence the expression: "gone/reduced to ashes". 3. In the ordinary common religious sense, ashes denote sacrifice, renunciation, and detachment. Hence the expression: "I have nothing but ashes". 4. In the biblical spiritual sense, ashes denote repentance and penance. We find in the Bible, applying ashes to atone, to repent, and to do penance. 5. The day of the ashes, with the call, from dust you have come, and unto dust, you shall return", or "repent and believe in the gospel", reminds us of the temporariness and transience of our earthly existence, and also our origin from God and our destiny to Him. Life is a temporary transit, we are due to God, we are his due, destined to reach him and be with him. 6. Therefore, in this temporary and impermanent sojourn, toward our eternal destination, how to conduct our lives? With the spirit and lessons of the ashes positively. That is, in surrender to God, with a sense of nothingness; in attachment to God, with a sense of detachment; and in renewal and transformation, with a sense of repentance and penance. 7. In the light of the gospel, to conduct and travel this journey, 3 acts are proposed as effective means: prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. However, the insistence is not so much on the activity itself, i.e. prayer, fasting, and almsgiving, but rather on their purpose and end They are namely, love and intimacy with God; self-discipline and self-restraint; and concern and charity. 8. Therefore, in love, let us grow close and surrendered to God; in renunciation, let us grow more disciplined and charitable; in renewal, ĺet us grow more and more transformed! Direction: Prayer, fasting, and almsgiving are not merely religious practices, but are true means and testimonies of religious spirit and living.
03 MARCH 2022: DEUT 30. 15-20; LUKE 9. 22-25
Focus: Know the ways of the Lord, and obey them; love the Lord and follow him. But, this is a strenuous and challenging path. But it is undoubtedly rewarding!
1. Many people today possess many things. But there is one thing that is drastically lacking. That is wisdom. Wisdom is not mere intelligence and knowledge. It is the essential inner capacity to distinguish, discern, decide between good and evil, blessing and curse, life and death, true God and false gods. It enables one to lose one’s life for the sake of the Lord instead of gaining and preserving it for the sake of the world. It realizes that it is no use to gain the whole world but lose one’s own self. 2. Wisdom thus makes us make a fundamental option for God. It strives ever to obey God, love Him, cling to Him, walk in His ways, keep His commandments, His statutes, and His rules. In the gospel, in Jesus’ own words, it would be a threefold way of life of a disciple: to deny the self, to take up the cross, and follow the Lord. 3. In fact, this triple path is the way of the cross. This is the way of the cross of the disciple which is actually the replica of the way of the cross of the Lord. The Lord’s suffering and death is the climax and summing up of an entire life of self-denial, cross-bearing, and doing God’s will. 4. A follower of Christ has no other way except the way of the master. We must renounce all the self-centrism and self-interests; we must retrench all the layers of the ego, the false self. We must accept and bear patiently and perseveringly all our daily crosses and difficulties. We must constantly imitate the Lord in his virtues and mission with untiring zeal and commitment.
Direction: Following the Lord is not an easy thing. It involves a lot of sacrifice and suffering. But it is not a futile task. It is very rewarding. The Lord will bless us abundantly
(REFLECTION 2 FROM 2021, 18 FEBRUARY)
Focus: To live a worthy life is to live in the spirit of wisdom; true wisdom consists of an essential choice between two sets of values.
The essence of a right and happy living is growing in wisdom. This wisdom shows us clearly how foolish it is to bother so much to gain the whole world but lose one's own precious soul, that is, lose the spiritual wealth and depth and the authentic happiness. Wisdom also realizes that it is more worthwhile and beneficial to choose God, life, blessing, and holistic prosperity, in contrast to the world, death, curse, and doom. Then wisdom consistently pursues the path of these right choices. This is the way of wise choices that are laid down in concrete details in Deuteronomy: Love God, listen to Him, be loyal to Him, follow His commandments and walk His way. In the words of Jesus in the gospel, it is: deny self, take up the cross, and follow him. “Denying the self” is not self-rejection, but self-injection. This implies, on one hand, ejecting out all that is the false self, ego-swelling, self-interests, and on the other hand, injecting into the self, the positive attitudes and pursuit of self-emptying and self-giving. “Take up the cross” does not mean to go about as burdened and crushed people under the weight of the cross of suffering. Rather, it means to accept our daily crosses of unfavourable and unpleasant situations, to bear patiently, lovingly, and trustingly loads of difficulties and challenges. And “follow Jesus” means to walk constantly in his footsteps, to imitate his life and mission in the practice of virtues and values. In the words of Deuteronomy from the first reading, all these conditions of discipleship would mean: to obey the voice and commandments of God, by loving Him, by cleaving to Him, by walking in His ways, by keeping His commandments, statutes, and ordinances. But all this struggle and fidelity is not a futile project. It is highly rewarding: God will bless abundantly.
Direction: There is no use in claiming and boasting about one's intelligence unless one makes the right choices and follows them.
04 MARCH 2022: ISAIAH 58. 1-9a; MATTHEW 9. 14-15
Focus: The practice of religious activities like prayers and fasting is very good and needed. But we must check and see whether they remain limited only to the domain of religion and piety or do they lead to a change of daily life
1. Very often the religion of many is limited only to some religious practices. Their devotion is confined mainly to some pious prayers or proclamations. What they believe is not shown in how they live. What they profess is not lived in what they practice. What they proclaim is not testified in their real life. It is like the wedding guests who celebrate the feast but ignore the bridegroom who is the cause and centre of their celebration. Or it is like mourning at a wedding. 2. Similarly, all our religious practices and activities will become empty and meaningless if they fail to take us closer to God and to others. Just as the whole wedding moments are directed toward and centered around the bridegroom, so also all the religious practices are oriented toward the Lord. They must take us into intimacy with him, to enjoy his presence, to celebrate life with him. 3. The fault of the Israel people was this: they followed a dry and shallow religion. For their daily schedule was filled with bundles of practices but their hearts were empty of any real spirit of faith. They prayed, fasted, and gave alms. But they were estranged from God. They were self-blown and self-filling. They were indifferent and unconcerned toward others. 4. They lacked humility, charity, and fidelity. They were self-righteous and self-complacent. They were insensitive, ununderstanding, and unsympathetic. They were despising and offensive. They always rated themselves far above the other ordinary mortals. They were demanding and exacting toward people. But toward their own selves, they were lenient and self-indulgent. 5. Further, the greatest deficiency in any religion is a lack of charity toward others. It is a failure to loosen the bonds of wickedness, undo the straps of the yoke of injustice and oppression. It is to feed the hungry, shelter the homeless and clothe the naked. The right type of fasting (in fact all the religious observances) is to humble oneself, not to seek our own pleasure, not to quarrel and fight and hit.
Direction: There is an eager tendency in the present times either to do away with all the traditional practices like fasting, or not to connect them to real-life renewal
(REFLECTION 2 FROM 2021, 19 FEBRUARY)
Focus: All our religious practices gain their full meaning and merit when they are blended with good works.
Insistently, the Word of God makes it clear to us that our spiritual life and actual life should go together. They are not two separate and dissociated domains. Religious disciplines like Fasting become more pleasing to God and meritorious when they take us close to God and to others. The purpose and end of all our spiritual observances are twofold: one is, to enjoy the presence and closeness of Jesus, "the bridegroom"; the other is, to overflow the spirit of the religious practice into the practice of concrete duties of fraternity and acts of charity. Isaiah details some of these: act justly, set free the oppressed, feed the hungry, shelter the homeless, clothe the naked, etc. Therefore, there is no use in doing all religious practices without changing the concrete life. Why fast without giving up self-pleasure? Why fast, if we do not abstain from oppressing others? Why fast, if we do not refrain from quarreling and fighting? Why fast, if one does not turn away from his wickedness? Why fast, if one does not grow humble? The point is not only concerning the particular practice of fasting. This applies to all our religious observances. God wants that all our religious practices lead us to a good living. They become means as well as expressions of a life of righteousness before God and toward others. Thus, when piety and fraternity, when devotion and justice, when religiosity and integrity blend together, they will find God closer and pleased.
Direction: It is a mistake that some think the Word of God is downplaying and even substituting the practice of fasting with the practice of charitable acts. No. They are not substitutions but restitutions of the true spirit, extensions, completion, and perfection of the same.
05 MARCH 2022: ISAIAH 58. 9c-14; LUKE 5. 27-32
Focus: The most consoling and encouraging feature of our God is that He is never judgmental or condemnatory. All that He wants is that we turn away from our sin and begin to follow Him
1. The Lord calls Levi or Matthew in today’s gospel. It was something annoying and radical to call a tax collector to follow him. For as known, tax collectors were labeled and despised as sinners. It would certainly invite a lot of criticism and the Lord knew it. Yet, he goes ahead unperturbed. This call is in perfect tune with the very purpose of his coming to earth. He declares emphatically: “I have come not to call the righteous but the sinners to repentance”. 2. This does not mean that one continues in the same state of sin. In a way, being sinful becomes a launching pad for soaring high. The Lord does not care much for our backgrounds or our credentials. All that matters the most is whether we hearken to his call and respond to him and follow him; whether we are willing to repent and change our life. 3. This repentance and renewal consist in making a decisive transition, a shift from having sinned to becoming graced. Some of the details of this transition are well-marked in the first reading from the prophet Isaiah. On one hand, it is turning away from a life of sin. It would mean not going our own ways, not seeking our own pleasures, not talking idly; it would call for taking away the yoke of oppression and injustice, the accusing of others wickedly. 4. On the other hand, it would commit us to care unselfishly for the hungry and the afflicted; to keep the Sabbath holy and honorable and delightful; to repair the breaches and to restore the strayed and scattered. 5. Then, the results are marvelous. Our light will rise in the darkness; we will be revitalized; we shall be like a watered garden, like a never-drying spring of water; our ancient ruins shall be rebuilt. The Lord will make us ride on the heights of the earth.
Direction: A worthy living of our vocation means deep gratitude for the bounteous gift of it, a deep awareness of our sinfulness and unworthiness, and a constant striving to shift from sin to grace
(REFLECTION 2 FROM 2021, 20 FEBRUARY)
Focus: "Follow me!" - This call of the Lord never ceases. He calls us at any time, in any situation, especially when we are immersed in our ordinary works!
Often we may pay heed to the voice and call of the Lord when we are free or in prayer and reflection. But the Lord's call continues to resound also in our busy moments, in those times when we are caught up with our preoccupations or duties. We need to reset and re-tune our ears to listen to Him. We need to repent and be healed because it is for this he came, to call us to repentance and to transform us with his healing touch. In the light of the first reading, His call to follow him implies that we turn away from evil ways, we do not seek self-interests, abstain from oppression and malice, cling on to him, and abound in charity. Once we are loyal, then it is a totally different life: light will shine and spread in darkness, he will guide us, renew our strength with never-drying and ever-gushing springs of energy and vitality. The call and life of Levi (Matthew) is a vivid testimony of the Lord's work. It is very interesting that the Lord speaks of our sickness or sinfulness as a pre-condition or requirement for his call and mercy. He declares: It is not the healthy but the sick who need a doctor; I came to call the sinners and not the righteous. What does it tell us? First of all, we need not feel upset or lost because of our human fragility. It is not a matter of despising by the Lord. Rather, it becomes a kind of qualification to be graced by the Lord! Not that we feel happy in being sinners and so continue like that; rather, it only means that we need not despair and be depressed. This also makes us humble to accept our own sinful condition, and thus throw away all our false layers and disguises to appear righteous. Further, it instills in us a new hope to rise up to repent and to become a follower of the Lord. What we were before being called is not the matter. But, what we become after being called is the real and the only matter.
Direction: Our God is a God who resists and detests all labels and prejudices. He defends and dignifies Matthew. Can we too follow in his footsteps, rising above all disparities and discriminations?
