Today we celebrate the 25^th Sunday in Ordinary Time and Spójnia Sunday. When we come to the church every Sunday we find ourselves in the Kingdom of Heaven and we praise God for the great privilege to be his sons. The honor to be the sons of God is the simple continuation of our discipleship to Christ. We believe in him therefore we follow Him in our private lives and we can be accepted by God as the good stewards and more as good sons of God. Only it is one requirement to deal with God fair, as a good manager does it today.

The Eucharist is the good dealing with God. We come as sinners and beg for redemption in the sacrament of the penance at the beginning of the Mass. We hear the voice of God and his rules in the Liturgy of the Word. We go in the holy action in the Liturgy of the Eucharist and reunite with our Lord in the Holy Communion. At the end we accept the deal with God and go further to make realization of it in our daily lives.

One Main Point

Use our possessions wisely (serving the poor) so that when it runs out and when we are summoned to God in the final day, we will be received into God’s house.

Reflections

1 What are in my possessions? How do I manage them? When God summons me, what can I say?

2 When my possessions run out, what is left? Will the Lord receive me?
