Today we celebrate the 24th Sunday in Ordinary Time. The Ordinary Time is the time when we realize that we are people who sin. And we need someone who can help us in our time of existence. Jesus Christ came into the world to save us the sinners. And this is the good News for all of us. The fifteenth chapter of Luke has been called “the gospel in the gospel.†It contained the very distilled essence of the good news which Jesus came to tell.â€
The Eucharist is the special banquet and meeting with Jesus for all of us who are sinners. We come to Jesus to praise him and to become holy by him. This is the simple goal of our every Sunday coming to the Church. To remember about it is the task for our daily lives. To encourage others to praise God and to be better by the reconciling power of Jesus is our privilege and we have to do this because we are the Disciples of Christ who love each other.
