Friday of the Twenty-fourth Week in Ordinary Time
By Melanie Rigney
If Christ is preached as raised from the dead, how can some among you
say there is no resurrection of the dead? If there is no resurrection
of the dead, then neither has Christ been raised. And if Christ has
not been raised, then empty too is our preaching; empty, too, your
faith. Then we are also false witnesses to God, because we testified
against God that he raised Christ, whom he did not raise if in fact
the dead are not raised. For if the dead are not raised, neither has
Christ been raised, and if Christ has not been raised, your faith is
vain; you are still in your sins. (1 Corinthians 15:12-17)
Lord, when your glory appears, my joy will be full. (Psalms 17:15)
Jesus journeyed from one town and village to another, preaching and
proclaiming the good news of the Kingdom of God. Accompanying him were
the Twelve and some women who had been cured of evil spirits and
infirmities, Mary, called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone
out, Joanna, the wife of Herod's steward Chuza, Susanna, and many
others who provided for them out of their resources. (Luke 8:1-3)
Piety
Lord, let me believe.
Study
Today's first reading is stark and challenging. It's not enough to
believe Christ rose from the dead, Paul tells us; you have to believe
that you too will be raised after death.
Jesus was fully man and fully God, after all. It's an interesting
parlor game to talk about what he knew and when he knew it about his
life and his ministry and his excruciating death… and that beautiful
Easter morning when the tomb was found empty, for he lived again. But
he isn't like us. He turned away the devil. He turned the other cheek.
He tolerated, no, he loved the apostles and other followers, no matter
how dense and clueless they were.
In the end, it doesn't matter when he knew. What's important is that
he showed everyone his belief, his faith in the Father's wisdom, no
matter what was asked of him. He calls us to do the same—nothing more,
nothing less.
Action
Poke your faith around a little. Where is your preaching empty?
