Todays Gospel Reading for Sunday is Luke 13:10-17, Healing on the Sabbath. In Luke’s Gospel, we learn about a crippled woman whom Jesus heals on the Sabbath with His words and touch, thus demonstrating His power and compassion. By His laying of hands, even on the Sabbath, He shows those present the value of coming to Him and obeying God, “for nothing good comes to those who disregard God’s word.” Thus, if we want God to “touch” us, then we must be near Him in word and deed, and allow Him to influence our lives at all times.
BYZIKIDS 2026 – MY JOURNEY THROUGH THE NATIVITY FAST:
NOTE: Today, Nathaniel McCallum, will continue the education series on the Old Testament after the 9 AM Divine Liturgy! Title: What is the Gospel? A Theological Journey Through the Old Testament. Everyone has an opinion about the scriptures. For some, they are a collection of Iron Age myths or an outdated legal system. For others, they form the basis of monotheism, sometimes with Jesus “bolted on” at the end. When correcting the gnostics, St Irenaeus accused them of having the wrong “hypothesis” of the scriptures. But what is that hypothesis? What is the apostolic deposit? This course, open to teens and adults, will seek to answer this question by probing the structure of the Old Testament. We will use faithful modern scholarship and new archeological discoveries to shine a light on precisely what the apostles taught and why the Catholic reading of scripture is faithful to their vision. Bring a copy of the scriptures and your curiosity!
