“Gratitude by Evangelising”
On 30 Sep every year, we celebrate the Memorial of St. Jerome. St. Jerome, as we all know translated the bible to Latin. He has also written many bible commentaries..
Just as St. Jerome was chosen to translate the bible, we too are chosen, each one of us for a mission of helping to build God’s Kingdom. Psalms 79 & 80, and Isaiah 12 reminds us of the greatness of our God. We are encouraged to rejoice and renew our relationship with our all merciful God. Just as the Israelites, during the time of the Psalmist, recalled giving praise and thanksgiving to God, let us this morning recall all the marvels the Lord has worked in each one of our lives and give praise and thanksgiving to God.
This is further emphasised in the scripture reading from Romans 14:17-19 as we are encouraged not only to rejoice but to evangelise by sharing our God experiences and what we have learned from Wisdom herself.
As we reflect on the above psalms and passages, with gratitude and faith, let us ask the Lord to bless us with the grace of being more open to being His instruments in the mission that God has planned for each one of us.
