Wednesday of the Thirteenth Week in Ordinary Time
Lectionary: 379
Reading I
Abraham was a hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him.
Isaac grew, and on the day of the child’s weaning
Abraham held a great feast.
Sarah noticed the son whom Hagar the Egyptian
had borne to Abraham
playing with her son Isaac;
so she demanded of Abraham:
“Drive out that slave and her son!
No son of that slave is going to share the inheritance
with my son Isaac!”
Abraham was greatly distressed,
especially on account of his son Ishmael.
But God said to Abraham: “Do not be distressed about the boy
or about your slave woman.
Heed the demands of Sarah, no matter what she is asking of you;
for it is through Isaac that descendants shall bear your name.
As for the son of the slave woman,
I will make a great nation of him also,
since he too is your offspring.”
Early the next morning Abraham got some bread and a skin of water
and gave them to Hagar.
Then, placing the child on her back, he sent her away.
As she roamed aimlessly in the wilderness of Beer-sheba,
the water in the skin was used up.
So she put the child down under a shrub,
and then went and sat down opposite him, about a bowshot away;
for she said to herself, “Let me not watch to see the child die.”
As she sat opposite Ishmael, he began to cry.
God heard the boy’s cry,
and God’s messenger called to Hagar from heaven:
“What is the matter, Hagar?
Don’t be afraid; God has heard the boy’s cry in this plight of his.
Arise, lift up the boy and hold him by the hand;
for I will make of him a great nation.”
Then God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water.
She went and filled the skin with water, and then let the boy drink.
God was with the boy as he grew up.
Responsorial Psalm
R. (7a) The Lord hears the cry of the poor.
When the poor one called out, the LORD heard,
and from all his distress he saved him.
The angel of the LORD encamps
around those who fear him, and delivers them.
R. The Lord hears the cry of the poor.
Fear the LORD, you his holy ones,
for nought is lacking to those who fear him.
The great grow poor and hungry;
but those who seek the LORD want for no good thing.
R. The Lord hears the cry of the poor.
Come, children, hear me;
I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
Which of you desires life,
and takes delight in prosperous days?
R. The Lord hears the cry of the poor.
Alleluia
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
The Father willed to give us birth by the word of truth
that we may be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Gospel
When Jesus came to the territory of the Gadarenes,
two demoniacs who were coming from the tombs met him.
They were so savage that no one could travel by that road.
They cried out, “What have you to do with us, Son of God?
Have you come here to torment us before the appointed time?”
Some distance away a herd of many swine was feeding.
The demons pleaded with him,
“If you drive us out, send us into the herd of swine.”
And he said to them, “Go then!”
They came out and entered the swine,
and the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea
where they drowned.
The swineherds ran away,
and when they came to the town they reported everything,
including what had happened to the demoniacs.
Thereupon the whole town came out to meet Jesus,
and when they saw him they begged him to leave their district.

Santo Yohanes Pembaptis
Yochanan ben Zecharyah, saudara sepupu Yesus
- Diterbitkan :13 Maret 2017

Bunda Maria mempunyai saudara sepupu bernama Elisabeth yang bersuamikan Zakaria, seorang imam di Bait Allah Yerusalem. Pasangan ini belum memiliki keturunan karena Elisabet adalah seorang wanita mandul. Suatu hari Zakaria tengah bertugas membakar kemenyan di Bait Allah. Tiba-tiba Malaikat Gabriel menampakkan diri padanya dan membawa kabar bahwa Tuhan akan mengaruniakan seorang anak laki-laki baginya. Anak tersebut kelak akan menyiapkan umat Israel menyambut kedatangan Sang Mesias.
Tetapi Zakaria masih kurang percaya karena Elisabeth sudah tua dan mandul. Atas ketidak-percayaannya, zakaria mendapat hukuman Tuhan dan menjadi bisu sampai kelahiran anaknya yang diberi nama Yohanes, sesuai pesan Malaikat Gabriel.
Yohanes adalah utusan Allah yang mendahului Yesus. Yesus sendiri mengatakan :
Masa kecil Yohanes tidak banyak diceritakan, kecuali ketika masih dalam kandungan ia melonjak kegirangan sewaktu Bunda Maria berkunjung ke rumah ibunya (Luk 1 : 41), dan kelahirannya (Luk 1 : 57 - 66).
Setelah dewasa, Yohanes muncul sebagai seorang pengkotbah di tepi sungai Yordan dengan pesan yang mendesak : “Bertobatlah, sebab Kerajaan Allah sudah dekat!” (Mat 3:2)
Orang-orang kemudian datang dan dibabtis oleh Yohanes di sungai Yordan. Ketika orang menanyakan dirinya, Yohanes menjawab :
Pengikut Yohanes banyak sekali, termasuk orang-orang yang kemudian di pilih Yesus menjadi RasulNya. Yesus sendiri datang minta dibaptis olehnya. Yohanes mulanya menolak dengan berkata :
Namun Yesus meyakinkankannya :
Tak lama kemudian Yohanes dipenjarakan, karena mengecam pernikahan raja Herodes Antipas dengan Herodias, istri saudara sepupunya. Dari dalam penjara Yohanes mengikuti gerakan Yesus melalui murid-muridnya yang dengan setia mengunjunginya. Yohanes akhirnya dipenggal Herodes Antipas akibat akal busuk dari Herodias dan puterinya Salome. Pelopor Yesus ini gugur demi membela kesusilaan.
Kemartiran Yohanes Pembaptis dapat dibaca dalam kitab suci (Matius 14 :1 – 12).
Arti nama
Yohanes Berasal dari nama Yunani Ιωαννης (Ioannes), yang aslinya berasal dari nama Ibrani יוֹחָנָן (Yochanan) yang berarti "YAHWEH Maha pengasih", "Allah Maha Baik"

Saint of the Day for June 18(May 2, 1856 – June 7, 1925)Venerable Matt Talbot’s storyMatt can be considered the patron of men and women struggling with alcoholism. He was born in Dublin, where his father worked on the docks and had a difficult time supporting his family. After a few years of schooling, Matt obtained work as a messenger for some liquor merchants; there he began to drink excessively. For 15 years—until he was almost 30—Matt was an active alcoholic.One day he decided to take “the pledge” for three months, make a general confession and begin to attend daily Mass. There is evidence that Matt’s first seven years after taking the pledge were especially difficult. Avoiding his former drinking places was hard. He began to pray as intensely as he used to drink. He also tried to pay back people from whom he had borrowed or stolen money while he was drinking.Most of his life Matt worked as a builder’s laborer. He joined the Secular Franciscan Order and began a life of strict penance; he abstained from meat nine months a year. Matt spent hours every night avidly reading Scripture and the lives of the saints. He prayed the rosary conscientiously. Though his job did not make him rich, Matt contributed generously to the missions.After 1923, Matt's health failed, and he was forced to quit work. He died on his way to church on Trinity Sunday. Fifty years later, Pope Paul VI gave Matt Talbot the title venerable. His liturgical feast is celebrated on June 19.ReflectionIn looking at the life of Matt Talbot, we may easily focus on the later years when he had stopped drinking for some time and was leading a penitential life. Only alcoholic men and women who have stopped drinking can fully appreciate how difficult the earliest years of sobriety were for Matt.He had to take one day at a time. So do the rest of us.Venerable Matt Talbot is the Patron Saint of:AlcoholicsRecovery from Substance Abuse and AddictionsSobriety(Source of @Fransiscanmedia; Reader By @mayoeka)
