32nd SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME; VETERAN’S DAY

/ From the Pastor, Parish Life / By

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

This Sunday has a special topic – “In God we trust”.

Some of the people thinks that the collection of money is the main point for the Church.

The Gospel shows us the example of the poor widow, who put all she has to the temple treasury. The main point for Jesus in this situation is that this poor woman trusts in God to the end. She had two small coins, she can leave one for herself, but she first of all, trusts God and in his providence.

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 meet with God Almighty in the Community of the Church.

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?
