32nd SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME; VETERAN’S DAY

/ From the Pastor, Parish Life / By

vetday15aToday we celebrate the 32nd Sunday in Ordinary Time and Veteran’s Day.

This Sunday has a special topic because it discusses things, which are for some people the main point of the Church. It talks about offerings. Especially about offerings which was donation from the poor widow. The main point for Jesus in this situation is that this poor widow trusts in God to the end, she will offer all that she has. She had two small coins, she can leave one for herself, but she first of all, trusts God and in his protection and salvation.

The Eucharist is the act of trust to God. If we with the true faith come and offer our whole lives and our all possessions we will be saved from our sins and we will be met with God Almighty. We need only little engage in the Christianity here and now.

One Main Point

While we are content to be guided by appearances, to judge people by what they possess and to value presents by how much they cost, Christ measures us by our inner motives and attitudes behind our actions.

Reflections

  1. Why do I do what I do? What benefits do I get from others? What benefits do I expect from God? What really motivates my behavior?
  2. Do I assume that the more I do or contribute, the better? What standard do I use to discern, to decide what I should do and how much? Am I aware of different standards and motivators? How free am I to choose my standard?
