The disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ and other members of the crowd came to Him because they wanted to be in touch with the power of God. The power of God is His love and life shared with us. They were overwhelmed and wanted assurances that God had not forgotten them. Jesus teaches us that God has not forgotten us. God provides us with His favor and faithfulness. God also provides us with fortitude.

"When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at the knees of Jesus and said, 'Depart from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man'" (Luke 5:8). As followers of Christ, we will feel inadequate to participate in the mission of Christ. In response to our excuses, the Lord Jesus offers encouragement. We will never be worthy to testify to Christ. But we cannot use that as an excuse to be settled into sin. Following Christ within the fellowship of His Church, we are empowered by Christ to live according to His teaching and example.

It seems to be obvious that the purpose of worship is to praise God. However, everyone who talks about worship is not speaking about praising God. In the Gospel Reading, King Herod is an example for that. The Magi show us practices of worship that truly praise God.

The Collect (Opening Prayer) of Holy Mass refers to “the shining example of the Holy Family.” We may wonder how we can imitate this family that was brought together by God as part of salvation history. Considering the experience of the Holy Family, such as the events of today’s Gospel Reading, inspires us to emulate them.

Part 4 and the conclusion of the series, “Anchored: Hope in the Lord.” Cooperating with the Lord through prayer and penance will help us to experience peace in the Lord. It will also lead us to exult and proclaim the Lord. The Visitation of the Blessed Mother to her cousin, Elizabeth, teaches us to exult in God, who offers the gift of salvation to humanity. These women also teach us to encourage one another in the name of the Lord.

Writing to a congregation that experienced persecution by outside forces and conflict within, Saint Paul offers a pathway to experiencing peace in the Lord. This is the context in which we will experience peace with each other.
