Today we celebrate the 16th Sunday in Ordinary Time. Today we will hear about the economy of the Kingdom of God. This economy is little different as our own human economy. It gives us the chances to change and to be good to the end of the time. The people who live in the world are different, they are good and bad. But they live close together to the last day and after this date will be the judgement and separation. Until this time we have the opportunity to practice love as the main power of the Kingdom and we have the choices to choose to be good or bad and this is our privilege.
The Eucharist is the special place where we make the best choice, to be with God the Father, to serve as Jesus did and to go and proclaim the good News to every nation as Holy Spirit is working in the world right now.

Reflections
- To separate rightly the ones from the others is an impossible task for those who can judge only according to appearance. God alone can see clearly what is in the human heart. Contemplate your social and spiritual environments. What do you see of yourself and what do you perceive of others?
- Contemplate your daily life. Like the mustard seeds that grow ceaselessly, what effort have you put in to grow spiritually under the grace of God? Is your faith growing stronger day after day? What should you do to encourage it along?
