Twenty Second Sunday in Ordinary Time

August 27 & 28, 2016

Sirach 3:17-18, 20,28-29 Ancient wisdom insists that the more

humble we are, the greater we are.

Psalm 68 “God, in your goodness, you have made a

home for the poor.”

Hebrews 12:18-19, 22-24a Far from frightening, our encounter with

God will be like a glorious holiday.

Luke 14:1, 7-14 Jesus presents his own version of table

manners.

Today’s Gospel is not about our dinner parties; it is a metaphor for how we interact with others in our lives. The first reading’s

message about humility sets the stage for the Gospel reading,. As we hear God’s holy word today,, let us listen for the message

that we need to hear about whom we welcome into the banquet of our own lives

Lately, I’ve emphasizing the importance of genuinely listening

to another as a means of evangelization. But, what if a person

is angrily spouting off misconceptions, untruths and outright

lies about the Catholic faith? What are we to do then - just

listen to them??

Well, first of all, be assured that the Church capital C) ccan

handle it. The Catholic Church will remain - it was founded

by Jesus and is continually built up today by the Holy Spirit.

Lies against her will not make the Church fall.

Given that the Church shall stand, what remains is how hou

handle the situation. If you find yourself upset,angry, bitter, or

agitated, then your best course of action is to remove yourself

from the conversation as quickly and as best you can. The

Holy Spirit is found in peace of heart and mind, not in you

being upset.

Even if God graces you with peace as someone speaks ill

against Catholicism engaging the person is still probably a bad

idea. Winning and argument will not help you win that soul

for Christ. Do you really think they will convert if you con-

vince them that they are wrong? Speak Truth, give love, but

know only the Holy Spirit can soften a hardened heart.

Pro-Life Reflection

You have made us for Yourself, O Lord, and our

hearts are restless until they rest in you. ~St. Augustine

Reflection. These famous words of St. Augustine

remind us what the Church means by saying human

life is “sacred.”

As human persons, we are uniquely capable of having

a relationship with God. Our lives are oriented to Him

as our final goal and fulfillment; hence, we cannot be

owned by others, manipulated or discarded.

Prayer. Lord, I rejoice in my ability to relate to You,

and I honor every human being as Your own special

possession.

Word of Life

“Rather when you hold a banquet, invite the poor, the crip-

ple, the lame, the blind, blessed indeed will you be be-

cause of their inability to repay you. For you will be re-

paid at the resurrection of the righteous.”

~Luke 14:12-14 (NABRE © 2010 CCD. Used with

Permission.)
