Clergy Corner

Question of the Week for

July 5:

Do I consider myself meek? How can I be less resentful and more peaceful and patient with family, friends,

and colleagues?

Even though the messianic oracle we hear in the first reading foreshadows Jesus’ arrival in Jerusalem, which we celebrate on Palm Sunday, let us not conclude that Zechariah could predict the future or received a secret message from God. No, but he could read the signs of the times. Prophesying in the postexilic period, he looked back on many of the final monarchs of Judah before it fell and saw arrogant men who lorded their power over the people, failed to honor the covenant, and sinned grievously. Zechariah wisely foresaw that a Messiah would need to be the opposite: meek, obedient to God, and respectful of the covenant. He could say that Jerusalem could rejoice, for their new king would be just, meek, and peaceful.
