Uqausiq Ataniup

Job 19:21-27 · Job 19:21-27

Job said: Pity me, pity me, O you my friends, for the hand of God has struck me! Why do you hound me as though you were divine, and insatiably prey upon me? Oh, would that my words were written down! Would that they were inscribed in a record: That with an iron chisel and with lead they were cut in the rock forever! But as for me, I know that my Vindicator lives, and that he will at last stand forth upon the dust; Whom I myself shall see: my own eyes, not another’s, shall behold him, And from my flesh I shall see God; my inmost being is consumed with longing.

Psalm 27:7-8a, 8b-9abc, 13-14 · Psalm 27:7-8a, 8b-9abc, 13-14

Luke 10:1-12 · Luke 10:1-12

Jesus appointed seventy-two other disciples whom he sent ahead of him in pairs to every town and place he intended to visit. He said to them, “The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few; so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest. Go on your way; behold, I am sending you like lambs among wolves. Carry no money bag, no sack, no sandals; and greet no one along the way. Into whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace to this household.’ If a peaceful person lives there, your peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you. Stay in the same house and eat and drink what is offered to you, for the laborer deserves his payment. Do not move about from one house to another. Whatever town you enter and they welcome you, eat what is set before you, cure the sick in it and say to them, ‘The Kingdom of God is at hand for you.’ Whatever town you enter and they do not receive you, go out into the streets and say, ‘The dust of your town that clings to our feet, even that we shake off against you.’ Yet know this: the Kingdom of God is at hand. I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom on that day than for that town.”

Uqausiq

Job uqaqtuq, 'Pity me, pity me, O you my friends, for the hand of God has struck me!' Uqausiit, uqausiit, uqumaittut. Qaujimajavut taanna uqausiq, qaujimajavut uqumaittuq. Uqumaittuq, kisiani, taanna uqausiq, taanna uqausiq, uummammi saqquqpuq. Job, uqausiq uqaqtuq, 'But as for me, I know that my Vindicator lives, and that he will at last stand forth upon the dust.' Taanna uqausiq, taanna upperneq, inuusiup iluani qammanngilaq.

Imaqa takujataraarpugut tusaajani, tusaajani inuusiup silataani, tusaajani inuusiup iluani. Job nalliuqtuq, nalliuqtuq uqumaittumik. Tusaajavut Job-up uqausiinik, 'Oh, would that my words were written down! Would that they were inscribed in a record: That with an iron chisel and with lead they were cut in the rock forever!' Job, uqausiq uqaqtuq, uqausiq quviasuttuq. Kisiani, Job-up uummanganik, upperneq saqquqpuq. 'My inmost being is consumed with longing.'

Takuviuk inuusiq? Inuusiq ungahiktumut piumanngilaq. Benjamin Vo, 15-nik ukiuqaqtilluni, inuusiqaqtilluni, inuit takulaurtangit silataani. Benjamin, taanna inuusiq, taanna inuusiq, taanna inuusiq. Benjamin, taanna 'con chim airlines'-mik kinguvaqtaaq, taanna inuusiq, taanna inuusiq. Benjamin-up inuusia, taanna 'masterpiece-ngulluni', uummataup salumajunianik ammalu asijinik asujinik tatatitaulluni. Benjamin-up inuusia, 15-nik ukiuqaqtilluni, inuit takulaurtangit silataani: silatualuuniranga, mathematics-mi pialuktuuninga, coding-mi ammalu technology-mi qaujimaninga. Taakkua pitsiaqtut, silataani qaumajut. Kisiani, Benjamin-up inuusia sanningajuup ujaqqatut tomb-tut ippunngilaq. Ben-up uummanga light-vallaalaurpuq, open-vallaalaurpuq, free-vallaalaurpuq. Ben-up uummanga walk-laurpuq Ataniup aqqutingitigut with a pure, simple heart.

Qaujimajavut Job-up uqausiinik ammalu Gospel-mi tusaajavut. Jesus appointed seventy-two other disciples whom he sent ahead of him in pairs to every town and place he intended to visit. 'Into whatever house you enter, first say, Peace to this household.' Peace. Peace. Peace. Tusaajavut Gospel-mi, Jesus-up uqausiinik. Ben, Ben-up inuusia, tusaajavut qanuq inuulauqtuq. Benjamin, taanna 15-nik ukiuqaqtilluni, qaujimajurli qanuq aannialunnik, qaujimajurli qanuq nalligijausimanik. Tusaajavut dad-up uqausiinik: Ben unniuqataalauqtuq dad-mut, quviasuktut, qaujimajavut qanuq Ben quviasulluni. Ben, taanna 'con chim airlines'-mik qajjaalauqtuq, qajjaalauqtuq quviasulluni, giggles-pallalauqtuq dad-mut.

Alan ammalu Thao, ammalu Ryan. Ilissiklu uqumaittumik atuqtut. Qaujimajavut uqumaittuq, qaujimajavut silataani inuusiq. Kisiani, uqaqtuq Gospel-mi, 'Peace to this household.' Ben, taanna 'Banquet of Heaven'-mi, standing beside Saint Thérèse of the Child Jesus. Saint Thérèse, 'Little Flower', qaujimajurli qanuq love-mut. Ben ammalu Thérèse, standing together in the light of the Father. Ben-up inuusia, qaujimajavut, itiqtuq, salumajuq, upperluni.

What can we carry out the door today? When your heart feels heavy, when the morning light comes in and you feel the empty chair, do not look only at the silence. Look up at the sky, just like Ben loved to watch airplanes soar, and remember that God's peace is real, God's Vindicator lives, and Benjamin Vo is safe in the Father's eternal embrace.

For the intentions entrusted to Ben on our prayer wall:

“Ben, Huy siniktillugu takulaurtutit pulaarialauravit, tuksiautimillu tunisillutit nanisigunnalarniagatta.
