IDOMINIKA YA 11 YO MU MWAKA (Umwâka C)
IGISOMWA CA MBERE
Ivyo dusoma mu gitabu ca kabiri ca Samuweli (12, 7-10.13)
Dawidi agaya igicumuro ciwe Imana ikamugirira ikigongwe
Dawidi amaze gucumura, Umukama yamutumyeko umuhanuzi Natani. Ashitseyo, aramubarira ati : «Ng’iri iriyazwe n’Umukama Imana y’Israeli : naragusize amavuta, nkugira umwami w’Israeli, naragukijije Sauli, ingabo z’umwansi wawe narazigutsindiye, (abagore ba shobuja narabaguhaye), naraguhaye ingoma ya Israeli n’iya Yuda. Ni vyaba bidakwiye nzokwongera ibindi. None ni kuki wakengereye Umukama ugakora ibimushavuza? Warakubise Uriya wo mu bahititi, araryama, umugandaguza inkota y’Abamoniti, umugore wiwe na we uramwitwarira. None rero, inkota ntizova mu muryango wawe, kuko wankengereye ugatwara muka Uriya, Umuhititi, ukamugira umugore wawe.»Dawidi araheza abwira Natani ati : « Nacumuye ku Mukama ! »Natani aramwishura ati : « Noneho Umukama arakurekuriye igicumuro cawe, ntuzopfa. »
IZABURI 31 (32) 1-2, 5, 7, 11
Icit : Undekurire, Mukama, ikibi nakoze.
Hahiriwe uwarekuriwe igicumuro,
uwakize akabi kiwe;
hahiriwe urya Umukama ataco yagiriza.
Navuze nti : “Ngiye gutumbera Umukama,
nirege ibicumuro nakoze.”
Nawe, Mukama, warandekuriye ikibi nakoze. (suite…)

Love one another. No need of strategy sessions. Only being aware of God’s love for you.
Today, Jesus gives us one commandment: LOVE ONE ANOTHER. There it is. Yeah! There is no need for multiple tabs and reference books. No need for strategy sessions. Or perhaps there is a need for a certain kind of strategy which is to be ever aware of God’s love for us so we can love one another. Such a simple and such a demanding commandment. Jesus goes on to say that having love for one another is how he will know who his disciples are.
My understanding of discipleship continues to grow and in today’s first reading from the Acts of the Apostles we learn of Paul and Barnabas making a considerable number of disciples. They supported the disciples by reminding them to persevere in faith which can be very challenging at times. We all as disciples need to be reminded of the Lord’s commandment: love one another as I have loved you. Listening for and appreciating the love of God allows us to live the commandment to love others.
Today I am called to appreciate God’s love for me and in that appreciation show love to others in simple and meaningful ways. A challenge I continually face is to stay in the present and meet others where they are. How can I really hear what someone is trying to say? How can I show patience for someone who is getting in the way of my goal? How can I help someone feel the ever present love of God? Sometimes showing love for another is so easy to do and sometimes it is the last thing I want to do.
So my prayer with today’s readings calls me to discipleship and to a renewed commitment to follow the commandment to love one another. The responsibility of this commandment feels overwhelming. Shall I take that commitment today?

En Jésus « baptisé », Dieu se fait solidaire de l’homme pécheur qu’il veut relever.
L’évangile selon saint Luc nous rapporte le début de vie publique de Jésus d
ans un certain ordre, qui n’est pas du tout chronologique. Il s’agit d’un message fort de la foi. Après la prédication de Jean-Baptiste : «convertissez-vous… » (Lc 3,1-18) vient directement son emprisonnement (Lc 3, 19-20), avant le Baptême de Jésus (Lc 3, 21-22). Ceci semble anachronique ! Est-il mis en prison avant ou après le baptême de Jésus? C’est alors que Luc mentionne la généalogie humaine de Jésus (Lc 3,23-38) pour nous le présenter comme l’un de nous, qui sera même tenté (comme nous le sommes aussi) pendant sa retraite de 40 jours au désert Lc 4, 1-13) avant qu’il ne commence à prêcher, en particulier à Nazareth (Lc 4, 4-30).
Comprendre le contexte des textes de la liturgie de ce dimanche.
Nous remarquons donc que Luc ne cherche pas d’abord à nous renseigner sur une succession de «faits historiques». Luc mentionne par exemple l’emprisonnement de Jean avant de nous faire assister au baptême de Jésus, au cours duquel il ne fait même pas mention du Précurseur. Les anciens (suite…)
