CHRIST THE REDEEMER720 Talbot Avenue, Thibodaux, LA, 70301
LITURGY OF THE WORDIn the Scriptures, God speaks to us, his people, in inspired words, opening to us the mystery of redemption and salvation and offering us spiritual nourishment. Christ himself is present in the midst of the faithful through his Word. As we are fed by the Word of God, we sit in attentive silence or offer our voices in song in full participation. We stand for the Gospel, showing great reverence for Jesus Christ present there, and finally we affirm the faith we have in the Creed before offering up our hearts to the Lord in our Universal Prayers.
FIRST READING: EZEKIEL 33:7-9Thus says the LORD:You, son of man, I have appointed watchman for the house of Israel; when you hear me say anything, you shall warn them for me. If I tell the wicked, “O wicked one, you shall surely die, “and you do not speak out to dissuade the wicked from his way, the wicked shall die for his guilt, but I will hold you responsible for his death. But if you warn the wicked,trying to turn him from his way, and he refuses to turn from his way, he shall die for his guilt, but you shall save yourself.
The Word of the Lord.℟. Thanks be to God
RESPONSORIAL PSALM: PSALM 95:1-2,6-7,8-9
If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
Come, let us sing joyfully to the LORD;let us acclaim the rock of our salvation. Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving; let us joyfully sing psalms to him.℟
Come, let us bow down in worship;let us kneel before the LORD who made us. For he is our God, and we are the people he shepherds, the flock he guides.℟
Oh, that today you would hear his voice:“Harden not your hearts as at Meribah, as in the day of Massah in the desert, where your fathers tempted me; they tested me though they had seen my works.” ℟
SECOND READING:ROMANS 13:8-10
Brothers and sisters:Owe nothing to anyone, except to love one another; for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law. The commandments, “You shall not commit adultery; you shall not kill; you shall not steal; you shall not covet, “and whatever other commandment there may be, are summed up in this saying, namely, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Love does no evil to the neighbor; hence, love is the fulfillment of the law.
The Word of the Lord.℟. Thanks be to God.
ALLELUIA: 2 CORINTHIANS 5:19God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation.
GOSPEL: MATTHEW 18:15-20Jesus said to his disciples:“If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have won over your brother. If he does not listen,take one or two others along with you,so that ‘every fact may be establishedon the testimony of two or three witnesses.’ If he refuses to listen to them, tell the church. If he refuses to listen even to the church, then treat him as you would a Gentile or a tax collector. Amen, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall be
bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.Again, amen, I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything for which they are to pray, it shall be granted to them by my heavenly Father. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.”
The Gospel of the Lord.℟. Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
The readings today focus on relationships and care of the other. These are not just any relationships, but the difficult and complex ones. Ezekiel cautions us not to give up on the wicked but rather warn them that their behavior is unacceptable. However, if they do not heed our warning, then at least we will know that we tried to enlighten them.The gospel today is very specific on how to deal with issues of conflict and disagreement. The scenario Jesus paints could apply to family, community, workplace, or any environment which breeds conflict or confusion. It takes courage for us to be persistent and confront contentious issues first in private, then with witnesses, and finally in front of the assembly- to provide evidence of injustice or wrongdoing. If after all these measures have been taken and still there is no resolution, we must move on, knowing that we have done everything humanly possible to rectify the situation.This is true love of self and neighbor. It in no way means we give up or are passive; rather, it shows us when to let go and let God. Sometimes this kind of integrity comes at a great cost. Yet is the price too great for the sake of building up the kingdom of God? Marilyn Elphick
