제 1독서 First Reading
< 지금이 주님을 찾을 때다. >
▥ This is a word from the Book of Hosea. Hos 10:1-3, 7-8, 12
Israel is a luxuriant vine
whose fruit matches its growth.
The more abundant his fruit,
the more altars he built;
The more productive his land,
the more sacred pillars he set up.
Their heart is false,
now they pay for their guilt;
God shall break down their altars
and destroy their sacred pillars.
If they would say,
“We have no king”—
Since they do not fear the LORD,
what can the king do for them?
The king of Samaria shall disappear,
like foam upon the waters.
The high places of Aven shall be destroyed,
the sin of Israel;
thorns and thistles shall overgrow their altars.
Then they shall cry out to the mountains, “Cover us!”
and to the hills, “Fall upon us!”
“Sow for yourselves justice,
reap the fruit of piety;
break up for yourselves a new field,
for it is time to seek the LORD,
till he come and rain down justice upon you.”
The Word of the Lord.

복음 Gospel
< Go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. >
✠ The Holy Gospel according to Matthew. Mt 10:1-7
Jesus summoned his Twelve disciples
and gave them authority over unclean spirits to drive them out
and to cure every disease and every illness.
The names of the Twelve Apostles are these:
first, Simon called Peter, and his brother Andrew;
James, the son of Zebedee, and his brother John;
Philip and Bartholomew,
Thomas and Matthew the tax collector;
James, the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddeus;
Simon the Cananean, and Judas Iscariot
who betrayed Jesus.
Jesus sent out these Twelve after instructing them thus,
“Do not go into pagan territory or enter a Samaritan town.
Go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
As you go, make this proclamation: ‘The Kingdom of heaven is at hand.’”
The Gospel of the Lord.

오늘의 묵상 Today's Meditation
“ Do not go into pagan territory or enter a Samaritan town. Go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. ” Why did Jesus put "the sheep lost in the house of Israel" in the first seat? Because they are the people who are the furthest away from God. who already knew God well and were accustomed to him. They were also well aware of the history of God's salvation. He was also accustomed to the word of God declared through the prophets, and knew well what a life of repentance was, and how to live a life of living with God. But like the words of the Gospel of John, "He came to your land, but his people did not accept him" (1,11), they were farther from God than anyone else.
How about you guys? Does the word of Jesus move you? Does faith in God change your life? Or are you already familiar with God, and with him, but are you more accustomed to living regardless of him? Just because you are used to it or know it very well doesn't necessarily mean that you have a close relationship with that person. We already know from experience that even if we were together, we could actually have a very distant relationship.
Let's not form a relationship with God in which "hearing" disappeared. A life that has been lost will keep you away from each other, no matter how close you are to each other. Jesus will never forget "the sheep lost in the house of Israel.
" We, God's children, will never forget. If you remember this fact and feel that you are far away from him now, I hope you start again with a life of listening to him and practicing him.
“ Go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. ” Amen.
( Father Peter Kim Jae-Deok )
