Your daily Gospel reflection...

Fifteenth Week in Ordinary Time

Matthew 12:14-21
Friends,* in today’s Gospel we hear a passage from Isaiah echoing the
Baptism of Jesus: "Here is my servant, whom I have chosen, my beloved, with
whom my soul is well pleased."*

In the Greek philosophical tradition, *God is the supreme good around which*
*everything in the universe* *revolves*. But that Aristotle’s prime mover
would stoop down to the level of a creature and move toward him—that would
be unthinkable. And *in the Jewish context, God’s absolute holiness was
consistently contrasted with human sinfulness.* But that God would himself
take on the wretchedness of his creatures and stand with them—no way.

*Yet, in Christ, God himself moves toward his creatures, takes on their
wretchedness, and stands with them*. Why? *Because God has come in order to
forgive sins. This is the heart and soul, the beginning and end of
Christian revelation. *How often the words and gestures of forgiveness
radiate out from Jesus, and *how central forgiveness is to the liturgy.
"This is the cup of my blood…which will be shed so that sins may be
forgiven." *

*This is why **"he will not break a bruised reed or quench a smoldering
wick.**"* God has not come to finish off those who have blown it
spiritually and morally, but to stand with them in total solidarity.
