Bishop Denis Nulty

St Brigid is one, who like us, lived, moved and had her being, and her being was grounded in God and expressed in the Beatitudes.  Her story remains deeply relevant in our very turbulent world.  Her tolerance, compassion, kindness and inclusive spirit challenges attitudes that polarise and alienate.

Points to Ponder 

Christian witness is meant to edify others and not to serve as path to self-promotion. Christians are called to provide simple, habitual witness to Jesus; ‘everyday holiness.’ Christian witness can mean giving one’s life in martyrdom, after Jesus’ example. But another path is to point to Christ in our everyday actions, when we wake, work, and go to bed. It seems like such a small thing, but miracles are done through small things Christian witness must be grounded in humility, which means being simple salt and light for others. Salt for others; light for others: Because salt does not give flavour to itself but serves others. Light does not illuminate itself but serves others. Supermarkets sell salt in small quantities, not by the ton. And salt does not promote itself because it doesn’t serve itself. It exists to serve others, by conserving things and giving flavour. This is simple witness. Daily Christian witness means being light for others, ‘to help them in their darkest hour. ‘The Lord says: ‘You are salt; you are light. ‘But do so in order that others see and glorify God. You will not even receive any merit. When we eat, we don’t compliment the salt. No, we say the pasta or meat is good. When we go to sleep at night, we don’t say the light is good. We ignore the light, but we live illuminated by light. This impels Christians to be anonymous witnesses Do not act like the Pharisee who thanks the Lord for his holiness. We are not the authors of our own merits. Everyday holiness means being salt and light for others.

Pope Francis

 

 

 

Pope Leo

Dear brothers and sisters, in our continuing catechesis on the Dogmatic Constitution Dei Verbum, we reflect on the divine and human authorship of Scripture.  God is the principal author of Scripture and he chooses to reveal himself by using human language.  Indeed, the various authors of Scripture are not passive instruments, but are divinely inspired to communicate the word of God by utilizing literary forms and creative methods that incorporate images and examples of their time.  While Scripture is a text rooted in historical truth, it also contains a limitless spiritual depth that speaks to people of all times and places, communicating above all God’s love and God’s desire to save us. Let us thank God for his word that nourishes our lives, illumines our paths and reminds us of the promise of eternal life.
