FAITH
AND WORKS
There
was an old man who operated a rowboat for ferrying passengers between an island
and the mainland. One day, a passenger noticed that he had painted on one
oar the word 'Works' and on the other oar the word 'Faith'. Curiosity led
him to ask the meaning of this. The old man replied, "I will show you."
dropping one oar, rowing only with the oar named 'Works.' Of course, the boat
just went around in circles. Then he switched oars, picking up 'Faith' and
dropping 'Works'. And the little rowboat went around in circles again - this
time in the opposite direction. After this demonstration, the old man picked
up both oars, 'Faith' and 'Works' and rowing with both oars together, swiftly
coursed over the water. He looked at the passenger and said, "You see,
that is the way it is in life as well as in rowing a boat. You've got to keep
both oars in the water, otherwise, you'll just go round in circles.".
| The
most exhausting thing in life is being insincere. |
| There
are people who have money and people who are rich. |
| Don't
let yesterday use up too much of today. |
READINGS
The readings for this weekend's Masses are
shown below in English. They are available in eleven other languages
including French, German, Italian, Polish and Spanish by clicking on this
link.
First
Reading
With
the two tablets of stone in his hands, Moses went up the mountain of Sinai in
the early morning as the Lord had commanded him. And the Lord descended in the
form of a cloud, and Moses stood with him there. He called on the name of the
Lord. The Lord passed before him and proclaimed, Lord, Lord, a God of tenderness
and compassion, slow to anger, rich in kindness and faithfulness. And Moses bowed
down to the ground at once and worshipped. If I have indeed won your favour, Lord,
he said, let my Lord come with us, I beg. True, they are a headstrong people,
but forgive us our faults and our sins, and adopt us as your heritage.
Second Reading
Brothers,
we wish you happiness; try to grow perfect; help one another. Be united; live
in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you. Greet one another with
the holy kiss. All the saints send you greetings. The grace of the Lord Jesus
Christ, the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
Gospel
Jesus
said to Nicodemus, "God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son,
so that everyone who believes in him may not be lost but may have eternal life.
For God sent his Son into the world not to condemn the world, but so that through
him the world might be saved. No one who believes in him will be condemned; but
whoever refuses to believe is condemned already, because he has refused to believe
in the name of God's only Son.".
