Daily Mass Gospel Reflection - Inclusion of All
Word on Fire Ministry ^ | 9.16.22 | Bishop Robert Barron

Posted on 09/16/2022 10:06:57 AM PDT by MurphsLaw

MEMORIAL OF SAINTS CORNELIUS, POPE, AND CYPRIAN, BISHOP, MARTYRS

LUKE 8:1–3

Friends, our Gospel today celebrates the female disciples of Jesus.
One of the principal marks of Jesus’ teaching is the overturning of social conventions.
In service of what he calls the kingdom of God,
God’s way of ordering the world,
he says and does all sorts of outrageous things.

And one of the most striking and surprising of Jesus’ moves is a radical inclusion of women.
He allows women into his inner circle (practically unheard of for a rabbi).
He speaks publicly to the woman at the well.
He engages with the Syro-Phoenician woman.
He forgives the woman caught in adultery.
And the first witnesses of the Resurrection are women.

Luke, who told this story, was a companion of Paul, and his Gospel reflects many of Paul’s themes.
Paul famously says, “In Christ, there is no slave or free, no Jew or Greek,
no male or female.”
This was very radical stuff in those times,
for these were some of the most basic social divisions of the ancient world.
Free men were a lot better off than slaves,
Jews had huge advantages over Greeks,
and males were seen as superior to females.
But not anymore—not in light of the kingdom of God that Jesus announces.


TOPICS: Catholic
KEYWORDS:
+++Jesus journeyed from one town and village to another,
preaching and proclaiming the good news
of the Kingdom of God.
Accompanying him were the Twelve
and some women who had been cured of evil spirits and infirmities,
Mary, called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out,
Joanna, the wife of Herod’s steward Chuza,
Susanna, and many others
who provided for them out of their resources.+++

There you go again, Murph. Making up your own titles and posting them as Barron's to his emails. Your links lead not to his emails but to his money-grubbing website.

Boobies' title was:

MEMORIAL OF SAINTS CORNELIUS, POPE, AND CYPRIAN, BISHOP, MARTYRS.

You changed it to:

INCLUSION OF ALL.

Regardless of that, by Barron's email and you're pimping, it, I now strongly believe that both you and Boobie, are laying the groundwork for Bergoglio's effort to introduce womyn dekens and womyn prysts.

(P.S. I get Barron's daily emails and I read them. He's a heretic: a homo-friendly, universalist heretic.)

Now go again and call be a "schismatic" or a "knuckelhead". It's music to my ears coming from the likes of you, Barron, Cupich, Gregory, Tobin, Beroglio and his boy toy, McElroy.

You Knucklehead ! Todays Mass Intention for the Church was:

MEMORIAL OF SAINTS CORNELIUS, POPE, AND CYPRIAN, BISHOP, MARTYRS.

IT'S NOT A TITLE YOU GOOFBALL !!!
You are really clueless about the Mass in the Church. First you don't know we pray for the Pope constantly, and now this.
I will teach you.

Now yes todays GOSPEL READING in the MASS recounted women Christ included in his inner circle...
That was a bold move in his day we cannot even appreciate really...

but again in your joyless, fury you fail to grasp the biggger picture... even when its spelled out for you...

28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave[a] nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

THIS is what the reflection was tying in... comprehension laddy!


(P.S. I get Barron's daily emails and I read them. He's a heretic: a homo-friendly, universalist heretic.)

Thats a good start... your hardened heart will Thank You One day...

Get over yourself.

Your title for Boobie's email was INCLUSION OF ALL.

Where did you come up with that, Murph?

Everyday you post Boobie's email with your own titles and a fake link.

That's deception, which is standard among you modernists.

And this what what the Memorial Mass for today is about:

ST. CORNELIUS, the successor of St. Fabian, Pope and Martyr, was one of the greatest Popes of the third century. He was beheaded in 253.

St. Cyprian, a barrister, and later Bishop of Carthage and Primate of Africa, wrote works which are among the most precious documents of the Catholic Church. He suffered martyrdom in 258.

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* CYPRIAN was an African of noble birth, but of evil life, a pagan, and a teacher of rhetoric. In middle life he was converted to Christianity, and shortly after his baptism was ordained priest, and made Bishop of Carthage, notwithstanding his resistance. When the persecution of Decius broke out, he fled from his episcopal city, that he might be the better able to minister to the wants of his flock, but returned on occasion of a pestilence. Later on he was banished, and saw in a vision his future martyrdom. Being recalled from exile, sentence of death was pronounced against him, which he received with the words “Thanks be to God.” His great desire was to die whilst in the act of preaching the faith of Christ, and he had the consolation of being surrounded at his martyrdom by crowds of his faithful children. He was beheaded on the 14th of September, 258, and was buried with great solemnity. Even the pagans respected his memory.

Reflection—The duty of almsgiving is declared both by nature and revelation: by nature, because it flows from the principle imprinted within us of doing to others as we would they should do to us; by revelation, in many special commands of Scripture, and in the precept of divine charity which binds us to love God for His own sake, and our neighbor for the sake of God.

It's not about Barron and it's not about your silly: INCLUSION FOR ALL.

This was today's Gospel: [27] And it came to pass, as he spoke these things, a certain woman from the crowd, lifting up her voice, said to him: Blessed is the womb that bore thee, and the paps that gave thee suck. [28] But he said: Yea rather, blessed are they who hear the word of God, and keep it. [29]

Barron, like his sugar-daddy, Bergoglio, extapolates the heck out of the Bible and twists it almost as well as Lucifer does. Barron's "reflection" on the above gospel is just another wild feminist, "discernment", emulating his sugar-daddy, Bergoglio.

You really need to stop doubling down on being a goofball.

The LINK IS NOT FAKE

It will take you to the page to click on Reflections-
NOW- WHY DO YOU NEED go to the link anyway?
I POST EVERYTHING IN THE LINK- it's NOT AN EXCERPT!
Comprende?
Nor does it have a title- so I give it one...

Why can't you just read it-
Contemplate on it-
And move along- like everyone else does, without comment?

Why do you think your so special- you have to say anything?

Stick to your Anti- Catholic rhetoric rousing... and Pope smacking...

Your link leads to Barron’s website at which he sells all types of products.

You’re pimping him.

If you weren't pimping Barron's website, you would post links directly to his Gospel reflection, with the correct title. Like this:

Gospel Reflections Friday, September 16, 2022

But you don't.

You have spiritual issues, as does Barron.

Seek a traditional priest who knows the Faith, not charlatans.
