SIXTEENTH WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME YEAR A

FIRST READING
The law was given through Moses (John1: 17).
EXODUS 20: 1 - 17

In those days: God spoke all these words, saying, “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself a graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them or serve them; for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing mercy to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments. “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain. “Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labour, and do all your work; but the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God; in it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your manservant, or your maidservant, or your cattle, or the sojourner who is within your gates; for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day; therefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day and hallowed it. “Honour your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land which the Lord your God gives you. “You shall not kill.” “You shall not commit adultery.” “You shall not steal.” “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbour.” “You shall not covet your neighbour’s house; you shall not covet your neighbour’s wife, or his manservant, or his maidservant, or his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbour’s.”

The Word of the Lord.


RESPONSORIAL PSALM
Psalm 19: 8, 9, 10, 11 (R.) John 6: 68c.

R/. Lord, you have the words of eternal life.

The law of the Lord is perfect;
It revives the soul.
The decrees of the Lord are steadfast;
they give wisdom to the simple. R/.

The precepts of the Lord are right;
they gladden the heart.
The command of the Lord is clear;
it gives light to the eyes. R/.

The fear of the Lord is pure,
abiding forever.
The judgements of the Lord are true;
they are, all of them, just. R/.

They are more to be desired than gold,
than quantities of gold.
And sweeter are they than honey,
than honey flowing from the comb. R/.


GOSPEL ACCLAMATION
Luke 8: 15

Alleluia.
Blessed are those who, hearing the word, hold it fast in an honest and good heart, and bring forth fruit with patience.
Alleluia.


GOSPEL
He who hears the word and understands it, bears fruit.
MATTHEW 13: 18 - 23

At that time: Jesus said to his disciples, “Hear then the parable of the sower. When any one hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the Evil One comes and snatches away what is sown in his heart; this is what was sown along the path. As for what was sown on rocky ground, this is he who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy; yet he has no foot in himself, but endures for a while, and when tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, immediately he falls away. As for what was sown among thorns, this is he who hears the word, but the cares of the world and the delight in riches choke the word, and it proves unfruitful. As for what was sown on good soil, this is he who hears the word and understands it; he indeed bears fruit, and yields, in one case a hundredfold, in another sixty, and in another thirty.”

The Gospel of the Lord.

MFALME WA WAGAGAGIGIKO ALIVYO TEMBEA UCHI

Hii hapa[emoji1370]
Hapo zamani za kale katika nchi ya Wagagagigikoko alikuwepo jamaa mmoja MASKINI lakini mwelevu sana aitwaye ABDUL. Siku moja aliketi chini na kutafakari kwa kina jinsi ya kuondokana na lindi la Umasikini. Mara, WAZO Pevu likamjia. Akajisemea moyoni, "nitakwenda Msituni na kujenga Kibanda kidogo. Ndani yake nitaweka Kiti kimoja na Viatu Pea MOJA". Kwa vile MFALME pamoja na RAIA wa nchi ya Wagagagigikoko walikuwa wamebobea kwa unafiki,uwongo, kupenda kusifiwa na kujipendekeza kwa MFALME, Abdul akajisemea mwenyewe, "nitatumia udhaifu wao kupata fedha. Baada ya kumaliza ujenzi wa kibanda akaenda mjini na kuanza kusambaza uzushi ya kwamba alikwenda Polini, huko akakutana na MALAIKA aliyempa SIRI nyingi za MAISHA. Hata hivyo MALAIKA amesema kwamba MTU yeyote anayetaka kukutana na MALAIKA huyo sharti asiwe na DHAMBI. Kwamba MTU yeyote akiwa na DHAMBI hataweza kumwona MALAIKA, Bali ataona kiti na viatu tu. Watu wa Mji ule wakafurika kwenda kwenye msitu ule ili waweze kupata MAFUNUO ya MALAIKA. Kila alieingia KIBANDANI hakumwona MALAIKA Bali ni kiti kimoja Pamoja na viatu chini ya kiti kile... Hata hivyo kwa sababu ya HOFU ya kuonekana MDHAMBI, kila MTU alipotoka mlangoni Aliwamulia walio Nje UZURI wa MALAIKA na MAFUNUO aliyopewa...HABARI za MUUJIZA huo FEKI ukawafikia MAWAZIRI hatimaye hata MFALME wa nchi ile ya Wagagagigikoko. Mawaziri wake wakamweleza juu ya Muujiza wa MALAIKA na Sharti la kumwona kwamba LAZIMA awe MTAKATIFU.Kwa madaha na MBWEMBWE Mfalme akapanda gari LA kukokotwa na FARASI na kufika hadi kwenye BANDA lile.Akavua viatu na kuingia ndani. Akachungulia kila kona bila kuona alama ya MALAIKA. Kutokana na AIBU ya kuonekana ni MDHAMBI mfalme akajitojeza nje na kuwatangazia RAIA wake UZURI wa MALAIKA yule FEKI na jinsi alivyopewa SIRI kubwa. Wakati Mfalme akiongea kwa Tambo kila aliyeingia mle kibandani akawa anajisemea moyoni nadhani Mimi peke yangu ni MDHAMBI maana sikumwona MALAIKA. Baada ya Ujanja wa kwanza kufanikiwa ABDUL alimuendea mfalme wa Wagagagigikoko na UWONGO wa kupigia PESA.. Akamwambia anaweza kumshonea suti ya thamani sana ambayo wenye dhambi watakuwa hawaioni na wasio na dhambi tu ndio watakuwa wanaiona. Na kitambaa cha SUTI hiyo ni ZAWADI toka kwa MALAIKA..Mfalme akampa kazi Abdul ya kutengeneza suti ya aina hiyo kwa ajili yake. Kwa siku kadhaa Abdul alijifungia katika chumba akawa bize anashona suti ya mfalme. Baada ya siku tatu, mfalme akamtuma msaidizi wake akaangalie kazi inavyoendelea, yule msaidizi akaingia chumba alichokuwa akishonea Abduli lakini hakuona kitu japo alimuona Abdul akifanya vitendo kama vile yuko bize anashona nguo. Msaidizi akamwambia Abdul, ‘Nimetumwa na mfalme niulizie umefikia wapi?” Abdul akamjibu, “Kwani wewe huioni jinsi suti ilivyoanza kupendeza, ila bado namalizia nguo nyingine nataka kuanzia nguo za ndani ziwe ni hizi za kitambaa ambacho hakionekani kwa wenye dhambi”. Hakika yule msaidizi alikuwa haoni kitu lakini ili aonekane hana dhambi akaanza kusifu jinsi nguo zilivyoshonwa kwa ufundi. Akatoka na kurudi kumueleza mfalme kuwa Abdul kamshonea nguo nzuri sana si za dunia hii kwa jinsi zilivyo nzuri. Mfalme alifurahi sana, kesho yake akamtuma msaidizi mwingine, nae kama yule wa jana akarudi kwa mfalme na ripoti nzuri sana ya maendeleo ya koti, pia akaleta taarifa nzuri kuwa kesho yake Abdul angemaliza kazi na angeleta nguo ili mfalme azivae. Kesho yake mapema Abdul akaingia katika kasri la mfalme akiwa kama kashika lundo la nguo, ambazo mwenyewe alisema wasio na dhambi tu ndio wataziona. Wasaidizi wa mfalme wote hawakuwa wanaona kitu lakini walianza kupiga makofi wakisifu jinsi nguo zilivyokuwa nzuri, hamna aliyekuwa anataka kuonekana ana dhambi. Hatimaye Abdul akamkabidhi mfalme nguo, na kupewa KITITA CHA PESA.. Mfalme naye hakuwa anaona kitu lakini ili asiambiwe ana dhambi akajidai eti nae anaziona akaanza kumsifu Abdul kwa umahiri wake wa kuchanganya rangi na hata ufundi mkubwa wa kushona. Abdul akamuomba mfalme azivae zile nguo, wakaingia faragha mfalme akavua nguo zake na akaanza kuvaa nguo asizoziona kwa msaada wa Abdul. Kwa vile alivua nguo zote na kuvalishwa mpya zisizoonekana, rohoni mwake alikuwa anajiona yuko uchi lakini akaona akitangaza haoni kitu wananchi wangemshangaa kuwa mfalme ana dhambi, hivyo akaendelea kusifia na kujiangalia kwenye kioo akisifu nguo zilivyompendeza. Kisha akalazimika kutoka nje ili wananchi waone nguo mpya za mfalme. Wote walikuwa wanamwona mfalme yuko uchi lakini wakawa wanaogopa kuonekana wana dhambi hivyo kila mtu akawa anashangilia na kusifu uzuri wa nguo za mfalme. Lakini ghafla mtoto moja mdogo kwa sauti kubwa akamuuliza baba yake, “Baba mbona mfalme yuko uchi?”. Minong’ono ikaanza mwishowe watu wakaanza kumuunga mkono mtoto, mfalme aibu ikamshika kwani alijua sasa watu wote wanamuona uchi, akatimka na kujificha kwenye kasri lake na hadithi yangu imeishia hapo.
