GRM 106

The Gospel as revealed to me

Detail

Jesus is in the synagogue in Nazareth. He preaches what is in the Gospel, that the Lord has sent him, and that this word is being fulfilled today. Reading people's hearts, he sees that Nazareth would like a special favor, but out of selfishness, not out of true conversion. So he says that no prophet is welcome in his country, and Nazareth chases him away. Later, he joins his Mother in a small hamlet and tells her that he will go away for a while, to please her. They also talk about the Sacrifice he will have to perform.

The Gospel as revealed to me

Detail

Jesus is in a small village. His Mother is present and he speaks of her. She chats with the mistress of the house. Then Jesus makes a speech to the grape-pickers. He talks about work, honest work, and the value of our actions. He also talks about the fear of the Lord and love for God. Finally, he blesses them and heals a paralyzed child, through the intercession of his Mother.

GRM 109

The Gospel as revealed to me

Detail

Jesus arrives at the plain of Esdrelon. There he meets four peasants from Yokhanan, who are working in the fields. Peter decides to help them while they talk with the Master. The four men are impressed, but eventually stop being afraid and start questioning Christ. They tell him about Jonah and the harshness of Doras. Jesus goes to the Pharisee's house and a violent confrontation ensues. Doras wants to impress Jesus with his wealth, but the Lord only asks for Jonah, and Doras finally complies, ordering servants to bring him. Jesus, however, follows his servants to the shepherd of Bethlehem. The latter is dying, and the Messiah tells his apostles to take the bed on which Jonah lies: they are going to Nazareth. Before leaving, he puts an anathema on Doras' land. Doras wants him to withdraw his curse, but Christ leaves him to the God of Sinai. Finally, the apostolic group arrives in Nazareth and Jonah dies between Jesus and Mary.
