Reflection of the Word of God, Sunday July 7th, 2024

Ezekiel is called “son of man” that is, a simple man bound to the earth, weak and mortal. Ezekiel received the spirit of prophecy; He felt the Holy Spirit enter him. The Lord gives him a task: to speak to the people about God's plans. Furthermore, he makes her see that they are rebellious people.

Saint Paul defends himself against the accusations that other Christian preachers proclaim, when they accuse him of preaching the Gospel for personal interest or gain, and that he cannot even legitimately call himself an apostle because he is not originally from the land of Palestine, nor did he live with the Lord. Jesus.

Jesus went to the synagogue to teach. Jesus was probably asked to do the first reading and, later, explain what was read. The listeners' reaction to Jesus' teaching was one of great surprise and cast doubt on the origin of his wisdom. Jesus was rejected by his people and his friends.
