St. Augustine, St. Benedict the Moor & St. Mary Churches: Pastoral Region One May 21, 2017
Held in captivity more years than anyone cared to
remember, the Lord sent a man, a Jewish man, raised by the
Egyptians, raised as an Egyptian to free them from their
bondage. The Lord gave Moses many signs to perform so
that the Jews, as well as the Egyptians might know of
God’s mighty power. Moses could turn his staff into a
snake and then back into a staff.
He could put his hand to his breast and it would become
leprous, put his hand back to his breast and it would be
clean. Pharaoh fought against God’s power, and at first
refused to let God’s people go. Pharaoh could not defeat
God’s plan and relented.
God’s people were finally free. They wandered in
the desert often hungry and thirsty. The people grumbled
and complained to Moses. “Why would God bring us out
of Egypt to die of hunger and thirst in a foreign land”? But
God always provided for them. God sent them manna left
by the morning dew as bread for them to eat, the forerunner
of the Eucharist. God would have Quail cover the ground
so the Jews could have meat to eat. God had Moses strike a
rock with his staff and water would flow to conquer their
thirst. Their faith renewed, the Jews could make it through
another day.
They were singing:
My deliverer is coming, my deliverer is standing by
My deliverer is coming, my deliverer is standing by.
In his day, Job was a wealthy man. Job owned
thousands and thousands of goats, sheep, oxen and camels.
He had hundreds of hired men to tend his flocks. He had
seven children that he loved with all his heart. Job praised
the Lord daily and thanked Him for all that the Lord had
given him. The devil said: “It is easy to praise and thank
the Lord when things are going so well, but I bet I could get
Job to curse the Lord should all his wealth disappear”. And
so, the devil sent marauders to steal the flock and kill the
hired hands. The devil sent a powerful wind to demolish
the house where all seven of Job’s children were. Job
became covered in horrible, painful boils which caused him
so much pain. Job’s friends gathered and asked him: “What
have you done against God that He should let this evil thing
attach itself to you?” Job said: “I have done nothing against
the Lord God. The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away,
blessed be the name of the Lord”.
And Job was singing:
My deliverer is coming, my deliverer is standing by
My deliverer is coming, my deliverer is standing by.
A young couple has their four-year-old son at the
doctor’s office. Out of nowhere a lump has grown on the
back of their young son’s leg, and a small dark mole sits
atop the lump. The doctor freezes the mole in hopes of
obtaining a biopsy to be sure of the moles nature, but the
boy will not hold still. Mom and Dad try to distract the
boy’s attention to no avail.
Try as they may, Mom and Dad cannot hold the
boy still long enough for the doctor to perform the biopsy.
The doctor prescribes a sedative to be taken before a return
visit. At the return visit, the doctor was successful at
retrieving a biopsy. Nothing left for the parents to do now
but pray and wait. Twelve agonizing days go by, days
where parents are afraid to let go of their children, twelve
agonizing days wondering if their prayers are being heard,
wondering if their child is going to be OK. The doctor
confirms that it is indeed cancer, and the lump needs to be
removed as quickly as possible.
The surgery date is set, the cancerous lump is
removed. The doctor believes that all the cancer is removed
and there should be no more problems for the child.
Mom and Dad were singing:
My deliverer is coming, my deliverer is standing by
My deliverer is coming, my deliverer is standing by.
Brothers and Sisters, God is all about our salvation.
Jesus came into the world just like you and I to be a witness
to God and his majesty. Because Jesus died to redeem us,
and then rose from the dead, we have hope that when we
die, we too shall rise with Him. Jesus and the Holy Spirit
work in concert for our salvation. The Holy Spirit, which is
God’s power in action, leads us on the path to salvation.
We are led by the Holy Spirit, just like the Jews were led by
the cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night.
Some of us might be crippled by sin, others
paralyzed by fear, whatever we are going through in our
lives, God is right there with us. He will not leave us
orphans, He will come to us.
Sing with me:
My deliverer is coming, my deliverer is standing by
My deliverer is coming, my deliverer is standing by.
My deliverer is coming, my deliverer is standing by
My deliverer is coming, my deliverer is standing by.
Words from the song “My Deliverer” by Rich Mullins.

With God & With Others Your Faith & Daily Life
Spend 10 minutes reflecting on God’s Word
Next Sunday’s scripture: Acts 1:1-11
Ephesians 1:17-23; Matthew 28:16-20
Has God given you a “spirit of wisdom”? How?
Have you learned what God’s call has in store for you?
Even though you know God, do you still have doubts?
Why?
Jesus tells his disciples to go out into the world and
teach to everyone all that they have observed. Do you
share God’s teachings through word and deed to those you
meet?
