fingerprint of God

1 kings 10:1-10; Psalm 37 The mouth of the just murmurs wisdom; Mk 7:14-23

Today in the church we celebrate the memorial of St. Scholastica, the sister of St. Benedict
She lived in the 5th and 6th century.

"On liturgical feast the deeds of God in the past are made present, The feast are participation in God's action in time, and the images themselves, as remembrance in visible form, are involved in the liturgical re-presentation." Pope Benedict


As we celebrate this feast of the life of St.Scholastica, we pause to remember God's action in time. Not only do we remember God's mighty deeds, we pause recognize that God's mighty deeds involves one of us. The saints remind us and also invite us to allow God to use us in time and in history to make his mighty deeds known.
