GOSPEL READING: LUKE 1:39-56

Most blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.

Mary left in haste to meet her cousin Elizabeth. She journeyed a long way. It would have been a tedious journey as well. But she could not resist this journey and she had to do it. Meeting of these two was a joyous one. The joy was communicated even to the children within the wombs.

The two would be mothers met. Their meeting communicated God to each other. Both were receivers of God’s graces. Elizabeth was praying for the gift of a child and she waited for a long time and finally it was granted. Mary was not praying for this gift but however God granted it to her freely because God had a purpose. Mary also sang a song of God’s presence in history and in humans.

நற்செய்தி வாசகம் லூக்கா 1:39-56

பெண்களுக்குள் நீர் ஆசி பெற்றவர் உம் வயிற்றில் வளரும் குழந்தையும் ஆசி பெற்றதே!

வருங்கால தாய்மார்கள் இருவர் சந்திக்கிறார்கள். இவர்களின் சந்திப்பு இறைவனையும் அவரது செயல்பாடுகளையும் வெளிப்படுத்துகிறார்கள். இவர்களின் சந்திப்பு அவர்களின் பிள்ளைகளையும் சந்திக்க வைக்கிறது.

GOSPEL READING: MARK 10: 46-50

“Go your way; your faith has saved you.”

The blind man was a beggar. He used to spread his cloak in front of him to collect the coins that were thrown to him by the passers-by. When Jesus called him he threw away the cloak and went after Jesus. That is he gave up his old way of living. This he did even before he was healed of his blindness. His willingness it change his life style is an important factor.

His change of life was an expression of his faith. For Jesus said ‘go your way; your faith has saved you’. The blind man’s willingness to change his life style and ready to go after Jesus are the signs of his faith. It is faith that heals at the end. But faith is expressed in many ways and here it is in changing one’s life style.

நற்செய்தி வாசகம்: மாற்கு 10:46-50

‘நீர் போகலாம்@ உமது நம்பிக்கை உம்மை நலமாக்கிற்று”

அவரும் தம் மேலுடையை எறிந்து விட்டு> குதித்தெழுந்து இயேசுவிடம் வந்தார். இதுதான் அவருடைய நம்பிக்கையின் வெளிப்பாடு. குணம் பெறும் முன்பே தனது வாழ்வை மாற்றி அமைப்பதின் அடையாளமாக தம் மேலுடையை எறிந்து (பிச்சை எடுப்பதற்கு உதவிய) விட்டு வருகிறார்.
