Twenty – Second
Sunday in Ordinary Time
As we reflect on the
readings today we are reminded why we gather each weekend for Mass. Our celebration is not an end in itself, but
must lead us to lives that respond to God’s call. As Saint James said in the second reading
today, “We are to be doers of the word and not hearers only.” Interesting that the Pharisees and scribes
during the time of Jesus were looking to follow the letter of the Law from Moses
and yet did not grasp the spirit of what it was all about, so their observation
of the law was empty. As we listen to
the Words of God in scripture today, ask yourself, what is He telling us about
how we are to follow God’s commands? - Deacon Jim
