August 19, 2018 The Twentieth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Focus on the Gospel

On the Twentieth Sunday in Ordinary Time the key question the people are asking in John's

Gospel is: “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” Jesus tells us the eating his flesh and drinking

blood is real food and drink. It gives us life, eternal life. We are one with him and he is one with us.

Monday is the Memorial of Saint Bernard, Abbot and Doctor of the Church; Tuesday the Memorial

of Saint Pius X, Pope and Wednesday the Memorial of the Queenship of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Friday

is the Feast of Saint Bartholomew, Apostle, with its own special readings.

We continue reading from the Book of the Prophet Ezekiel. We are treated to some of the best of

Ezekiel's prophesy this week. He is sharp and biting in his calls for conversion and comforting in his

prophesy about God's fidelity and mercy, especially in the field of dry bones that come to life. We

miss that reading this year because of Feast of St. Bartholomew.

Matthew's Gospel this week includes some favorite parables, like the rich young man and

introduces the counter-cultural idea that riches may make it more difficult to be saved. Those are followed

by stories of the Master of the vineyard who leaves us with the phrase “The last will be first and the first,

last.” Jesus tells the parable of the landowner who hires workers throughout the day, including the last

hours. When he pays them all the same, those who worked all day grumbled. “Are you envious because I

am generous?” He offers the parable of the guests who are too busy to attend the wedding feast of the

king's son. On Friday in non-feast readings Jesus tells us to love our neighbors as ourselves. Saturday,

Jesus says, “Whoever exalts himself will be humbled; but whoever humbles himself will be exalted.”

This year's stewardship theme provides an awesome invitation into a radically different way of life. "Fully alive as missionary disciples" does not leave much room for our worldly attachments. Instead, we are encouraged to live intentionally for Jesus Christ ALL THE TIME. We are nudged to use our lives to serve others and draw them to Jesus...ALL THE TIME. In essence, it suggests that we might need to do a little "internal housekeeping" in order to make room for what really matters. Today's first and second readings tie right into our theme, suggesting that we live our lives with "wisdom" and "prudence," and that we avoid "foolishness." The Gospel of John then tells us that once we clear out the foolishness, we have plenty of room for Jesus Christ, "...the living bread that came down from heaven..." When we reflect on this in light of our own baptism into discipleship, there is really no question about it. Why would we want to live a life that was full of "foolishness" rather than a life filled with the bread of life?? We must work to keep this in mind each day as we go about our business and make decisions, big and small. Pray that the Holy Spirit will open our hearts and guide us toward that which allows us to live life abundantly!
